Well, That's One Way To Pay for Med School

[Ladybug]

Regardless of veracity, the idea is very fifty shades of grey. Life imitating art? It's interesting that it's OK since she's pretty, educated and somewhat affluent. I wonder how it would be perceived if she admitted openly being sexually abused as a child?

I don't agree with legalizing prostitution. As a culture I think we need to work towards healing women, and giving them back their dignity, not selling and taxing it. It's a free choice...to a point. I could never look at a poor, abused woman doing the only thing available to her and tell her it's 100% free choice. Same thing with porn. Most of those people have been abused, physically, sexually or emotionally. Their bodies may be grown up, but inside they're not. Somethings broken that needs fixing not exploitation.

My immediate thoughts were, first, that virginity is a completely meaningless cultural concept, and if someone is stupid enough to pay for something that doesn't exist, well, I approve of fleecing them. Second, I do think that prostitution should probably be decriminalized but that we need to do more to combat the exploitation that leads to it. And third, if this girl is really a med student she's an idiot to be putting this out there, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's just performance and publicity-seeking.

She's blogging about it. Her blog called "Confessions of a Virgin Whore." http://musingsofavirginwhore.com/

I'm going to echo what DD mentioned somewhere - I feel like this is a big "experiment". It's too dumb

The Ending
POSTED ON MAY 8, 2014 BY MUSINGSOFAVIRGINWHORE

Hello Everyone,

I have the ending for you today, at least the ending to my virginity auction.

The bidding closed yesterday as planned (high bid was $801,000), but I am here to tell you that the terms of the auction will not be fulfilled. With the blessings of my management and the high bidders, I have decided to put a stop to this kerfuffle (to describe it nicely) and return my focus to my medical training. I still do possess some spitefully strong beliefs about virginity, prostitution, and a woman’s right to do as she damned pleases, but school is my first priority (as it has been for my entire life). At this point, I no longer care about the auction, at all. This was a very easy decision.

However, this does not mean I do not care about the people I have met along the way, the heap of life lessons I have been given, the personal transformation that could not be helped, and the social causes that I have discovered. All of these things have real meaning, as opposed to the money. And while this experience has had its ups and downs (and yes, this past week was a down), I am truly so much better for it.

And this is not the end of my story, only the end of my auction. I will continue to be here blogging, reflecting on this journey, dissecting social issues, and documenting my return to “normal” life. While there are so many things I have loved about this experience, this blog is unquestionably one of my favorites. I hope you will continue to visit!

Love always,

Elizabeth

P.S. I might change the blog title. Please let me know if you think of anything clever and perhaps more appropriate (even though I truly hate the word appropriate, as opposed to the word whore).

P.P.S. I hope you are not too disappointed, I do realize this is another virginity auction stopped short. Honestly though, having tried it, I think there is always going to be something. I will be discussing this further in a later post.

This has got to be fake.

[diggitydot]

There's a real person who matches all of her info, though. If it's actually her or not, I don't know. Someone shared how they found the person who fits the description and I've also hunted down her real FB.

I still think there's something entirely fake about this. Either that, or this person IS real, the entire thing was real, and she has a personality disorder.

[WolfpackWife]

What a nutcase. I love how she apologizes at the end, like she's let down the masses. Good god.

That's part of what has me leaning towards some type of personality disorder.

[SoonerTexan]

So she ended up with the reputation and no money?

Well that was smart

[scrub-jay]

I wondered if it were some type of social experiment.

[bobk]

I can't decide who has less self-respect, her or the guy who ponied up the $800k.

[diggitydot]

Yup, it's who I thought it was.

Med student? Not quite

[MrsK]

The whole thing sounds very sad.
