Woman auctions off virginity for $780,000 [View all]
First, I'll mention, this story does have hoax written all over it.

I have a hard time believing there are men in the world dumb enough. But apparently, female virginity is still of value in the world today. If this story is true, it could cause a gold rush of females into the virginity market. Seriously. And fraud will follow. Women selling their virginity twice or three times, or not being virgins to start.
But if there are people who are willing to part with three-quarters of a million dollars for single sex experience, you're never going to get rid of the sex industry. And there are at least some women, (and men) not in the sex industry at all, who will sell sex for that price.
The article mentions a male whose virginity went for only $3,000. Okay, that's much, much lower, but that's nothing to sneeze at. If I were still in high school, I would be tempted. I wish I had known there was a market . . .
