Student Auctions Virginity for Education Costs
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― A Sacramento State grad trying to make money by auctioning off her virginity to help pay for her graduate studies is getting lots of offers...and not just for sex.
The 22-year-old who is using the pseudonym Natalie Dylan for safety reasons is going through a legal brothel in Nevada to sell her virginity. Dylan told CBS13 she's gotten an offer of $250,000. And now she's gotten an offer to do a photo spread for Penthouse magazine.
The auction is being handled by the Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada with bids coming in through their website.
Dylan says she's already taken a polygraph test to prove her virginal status, and is also willing to undergo a medical exam.
"The main purpose of this is to finance a couple things in my life," Dylan told CBS13. "I think empowerment of women is picking yourself up and doing something on your own to better yourself."
So far, hundreds of offers have already come in including some from male virgins. Natalie says she won't give up her virginity to the highest bidder. She's also seeking other qualities from her first lover. "I'm looking for intelligence and an overall nice person," said Dylan.
Dylan says she ended up in a financial bind, because her stepfather allegedly used her college status to fraudulently apply for student loans, and then ran off with the money.
Dylan earned her bachelor's degree in women's studies from Sacramento State and plans to get her master's at the school beginning in January.
Many Sac State students say they're shocked to hear about their former classmate's plan, while others applaud her.
"She's just giving it to some random person. And I just think she should be giving it to someone special she loves," said one student on campus.
While another felt that selling her virginity for grad school "is a noble reason to get money."
As for Natalie, after claiming to hold on to her virginity for 22 years (although the Bunny Ranch website claims she is 21-years-old), she says she has a commodity not many people have to sell.
"When I was younger, I wanted 100% romance, possibly even wait for marriage. But as I grew up, reality kinda hit. And I think its a capitalistic society and I want to capitalize on this," explained Dylan.
