Ladies, if you’re looking for a way to pay for college, I’ve come across an option that doesn’t require any debt.
From ABC News:
A cash-strapped New Zealand student who auctioned off her virginity to help pay for university said she had accepted an offer of $NZ45,000 to sleep with a stranger.
In case you were wondering, prostitution is legal in New Zealand so no laws are being broken. Morally, I suppose it’s questionable, but is this really much worse than a one night stand? I would even argue that a guy buying a girl drinks is a form of prostitution. After all, he’s giving her money in the form of alcohol with the hope of sleeping with her! What struck me as really odd was that she didn’t include a picture in the auction, so buyer must not be too concerned with looks.
What do you think? Morally bankrupt or business savvy?

I avoid making moral judgments about sex. It’s a personal choice, and I have no problem with people doing whatever they like with their bodies. Also, selling virginity is hardly novel. Japanese geishas were heavily indebted to their houses after they completed their education, and the sale of their virginity was a coming-of-age ritual that was fully expected of them. In recent years, there have been several internet auctions similar to this one that have gotten a bit of publicity.
