Virginity: $3.7M

How much does virginity costs these days? Apparently, the going price is about US$ 3.7M. Yes, three point seven million US dollars. See Telegraph news article here.

The Natalie Dylan story has sparked countless debates over the blogosphere, covering issues such as whether this is akin to prostitution, whether it is even legal to "sell" your virginity, and whether the woman is really a virgin in the first place.

And this isn't the first time that a woman's virginity was put up for auction. Back in 2004, a 18-year old student named Rosie Reid also sold her virginity via online auction. (See BBC news article here) Just like Natalie, Rosie also had student loans to pay for.

After reading about Natalie and Rosie, I can't help but feel happy that I'm studying at the UP College of Law. :-P
