Although now there is a disclaimer stating such on the papers you sign when donating.

But being with a woman who's had many partners. You have to be better than every other partner she has ever had. Not only sexually, but in all areas. If not, she will leave you in search of someone better.
Agree wholeheartedly.

And I know, I married a virgin. No, ahem, size worries or technique deficiencies from her pov. (at least I don't think that. I am concerned about her watching so much sex and the city. Orgasm, what's that?)

Several things:

First, I think she looks quite good. At least, better than the artificially busted pr0n stars.

Second, reds is just plain wrong. If she can't pay for her studies, then her parents are obviously not helping her financially.

Third, I think this may be a hoax anyway. I couldn't find her ad on ebay, and not even her 'separate' website.

And yeah, she could be prostituting herself in a normal agency and make, say 100 pounds an hour... but if she is truly virgin, then getting 10 000 L for it is a brilliant move. It will spare her the trouble of satisfying 100L/hour customers.

Flip: I don't see the point. Why should life be hard? If we can make it easy for everyone, why not? Where does your logic end? To the point children should be unfed so that they learn 'true' life (which anyway can be as 'true' as we wish it to be).

I do. Same reason I wait for my wife. I'd like to share the moment with her.
So you think all the men that want to have sex with this virgin want to 'share the moment with her'?

COME ON!!

If this woman wasn't a virgin she wouldn't nearly get the same attention. Why? We have two (reasonable) possibilities: 1) Less pressure to perform since there is no comparision, 2) tighter down there (why do you think so many men are interested in anal sex?).

"Sharing the moment" is not, IMO, a motivating factor for those dropping bids on her.

And how would I be able to verify something like that? I think that they do want the moment, especially if they remember their own first time.

Sorry Ben, but I think you are being highly naive. For one, a great number of men who lust after virgins haven't "sharing the moment" their first time (they are doing a woman who has already had sex).

Did some searching. I don't remember it, but if you want her official sales-office URL, search AskJeeves News for "Rosie Reid." There's an article there that mentions her professional URL...

I dont believe they have this in required in the USA yet, though some places give you the option of letting the kids know where they came from after they're adults.

I always chalked that up to mental illness or a deficient imagination that prevents them from just jerking off rather than exploring a hole full of fecal detritus. I mean, I can understand with homosexuals, but if you're looking for a small hole, date a frigging midget. Ugh.

Anyway, to get this sorta on-topic, what puzzles me is that this chick is willing to have straight sex despite being a lesbian. Presumptively, actual sex has no more appeal for her than getting backshafted holds for me, so she's essentially asking to be raped for money. Or maybe not, I don't know how lesbians think.

The definition of rape isn't "having sex with someone you are unattracted to" though.

Elok, how could that possibly puzzle you? She'll be getting ten thousand pounds! For that kind of money I'd engage in just about any kind of sexual activity. Given the offer and thinking about it for a minute, I'd assume most people would.

Are you completely sure? Let's extend the offer to a million dollars like in that movie. You'd really turn down that regardless of the good all that money could bring you and your loved ones?

You say you'd do anything, but have you ever seriously contemplated doing it? Presumptively, this girl has, and she's in essence going to contractually obligate herself to a sexual act she has no interest in. Even if she gets cold feet, chances are good she'll get screwed anyway, if the guy was so aggressive he was willing to pay that kind of cash for the experience. Even if that line about how the idea seems fine is true, I'd say she has at least 50-50 odds of getting serious PTSD in exchange for her tuition. Not advisable.

You have a point that she might not realise what might happen as a result of all this, but your fifty-fifty assumption does sound a bit pessimistic to me. No statistics in hand, it doesn't seem likely that fifty percent of sexually concious and aware women who ever exchanged sexual favours for material goods - contractually or otherwise - would suffer a PTSD.

Well, this girl is a virgin, young, and does not seem to have given the idea careful thought to judge by her quotes. So the "sexually conscious and aware" bit is debatable.

She's not a virgin, she's in a sexual relationship with another woman. She's lost her virginity already and the fact she's an out-of-the-closet lesbian does suggest she's been doing a good deal of personal reflections on her sexuality. I don't think her age is that significant either as long as she's an adult. Naturally though, as I don't know her personally, these are all just assumptions on my part.

How'bout we throw a surprise party for Ben Kenobi? We'll need a variety of drugs and fallen women.

She's quite cute, but I bet she's a bad fack. Virgin AND lesbian - not experienced and not interested in the guy who pays. Who would pay 10000 quid for a lousy one-night stand?

At least she got her 15 minutes of fame, regardless of how this turns out.
