According to The Huffington Post, A 19-year-old New Zealand girl put her virginity up for sale on the Internet last week in order to pay for college. Going under the name of ‘Unigirl,’ the teen posted this last vestige of her youth for sale on iNeed, the New Zealand equivalent of Craigslist.
While she did not post a photo of herself, she did describe herself as ‘attractive, fit, and healthy,’ and claimed she was willing to trade in her virginity for enough money to cover tuition. After receiving over 1,200 bids, Unigirl’s virginity was sold for $32,000.
As prostitution is legal in New Zealand, her activity was technically on the up and up. How safe it was–given that she now has to have sex with the type of person who would pay $32,000 to take a girl’s virginity–is questionable.
Selling one’s youth and beauty isn’t exactly shocking; women do it all the time, the world over, legal or not. You simply can’t deny that the money it brings in is good–almost as impressive as the psychic damage it does to the seller.
If everything really is true, then you have to admire someone willing to go to such lengths for an education. And then you have to think about what is wrong with a situation in which one would have to go to such lengths to get an education.
I prefer to think that she is not a virgin, rather an enterprising shyster and/or a vigilante who will then beat the crap out of the dirtbag who shows up to reap his reward. Either way, she should definitely bring every possible type of protection she can–that includes condoms and a taser.

Why is the man who is paying for a service advertised in a country where adults can do whatever they want with their own selves as long as it does not criminally harm another person or their property? I find this attitude is the price paid in countries that make consensual crimes (meaning: crimes that aren't crimes since they don't have both a perpetrator or a victim) punishable by long jail terms: forcing a black market into being. hence "Drug Crimes" should be called "Drug Prohibition Crimes" and "Prostitution Crimes" should be called "Vice Crimes" which for once the United States honestly makes its intentions of legislating morality clear ... something which has led to the jailing by the U.S.A. of 25% of the world's prison population, or 1 of every 100 Yanks - no wonder they are so scared). Women are always hurt most by laws against prostitution (ask any sex worker who is blessed enough to live in a nation that considers her fully human). And ladies: men are men.

Why is the man who is paying for a service advertised in a country where adults can do whatever they want with their own selves as long as it does not criminally harm another person or their property a "dirtbag"? And whoever wrote the piece: do you really believe that "Vigilante Justice" should be meted out to the man by "someone who will beat the crap out of him"? Would you prefer he be beat up before the legal transaction took place - denying the girl her needed funds for college - or after? Either way: I find this attitude extremely representative of the brash, bullying, Macho USA Women & Men.... People become barbaric and that is too steep a price paid in countries that declared War on consensual crimes so long ago they forget that the reason had to do with the oldest political trick: divide and conquer... In the U.S., that means a prisoner population which accounts for a quarter of all the human beings in jail on earth. Imagine! (btw: consensual crimes means "crimes" that aren't crimes since they don't have both a perpetrator or a victim) punishable by long jail terms: forcing a black market into being. hence "Drug Crimes" should be called "Drug Prohibition Crimes" and "Prostitution Crimes" should be called "Vice Crimes" which for once the United States honestly makes its intentions of legislating morality clear ... something which has led to the jailing by the U.S.A. of 25% of the world's prison population, or 1 of every 100 Yanks - no wonder they are so scared).
