NZ student accepts $32,000 bid for virginity

WELLINGTON, New Zealand—A cash-strapped New Zealand student who auctioned off her virginity to help pay her university fees said Wednesday she had accepted an offer of 45,000 dollars (32,000 US) to sleep with a stranger.

The 19-year-old offered her virginity to the highest bidder in an on-line auction on the ineed.co.nz website and said there had been more than 1,200 bids.

"I have accepted an offer in excess of 45,000 dollars, which is way beyond what I dreamed," the student said on her webpage when the auction ended.

"Thank you to the more than 30,000 people who viewed my ad and to the more than 1,200 offers made."

Calling herself "unigirl," the young woman had described herself as attractive, fit, and healthy, and said she had never been in a sexual relationship, though it was not clear how she would prove that.

She did not respond to media requests for an interview but the proprietor of the website, Ross MacKenzie, told the Waikato Times newspaper he had been authorized to confirm the transaction

Perhaps the NZ government should take a look at their educational loans if this is how far students have to go to pay for college. Speaking as someone who's $50,000 in debt for her schooling I can't help but think maybe this chicks on to something.

i, for one, know that there is no such thing as absolute freedom since society still dictates the extent/limit of one's "freedom". to be absolutely "free"...go to the mountains & f**t all you want & nobody's gonna give a hoot..that, my friend, would be bliss!

hehe ummjake, I hang out with westerners enough not to be presumptuous about them. I think what I said was a fair assumption. I don't want to stereotype any community. I am sorry if it came out that way.

she'll do it later. Just imagine a beautiful uneducated lady roaming the street of NZ! I just hope the money served it's purpose (as she claims).

When most people's first experience of sex is less than stellar, I find it not an unreasonable idea for her to consider trading this initial underwhelming experience for 4 years of higher education.

And Texas Ranger -- just because she's from NZ and she's 19 you presume she's not a virgin? Lots of folks from western countries haven't had sex by then...don't be so presumptuous.

seriously, who seriously thinks this girl is a virgin? how can she prove that? She is 19 & is an NZ girl, most probably she has lost her virginity already.

to justify a mistake, small or big is to support and encourage the person to commit more mistakes.

may GOD Forbid, but what she will sell next?

Her soul?

Such things happen oftenly...will become quite normal if people start doing it regularly. If not justified NOW....will get the Certificate later on.

going back to the original post, the question was whether what the girl did was justifiable...to the girl, & as i said earlier, she obviously felt it was justified...as to society where she's a part of & therefore should abide by the set norms, what she did was prostitution. police in most societies even go undercover to apprehend "ladies" soliciting (in exchange for sexual favors). i wonder how nz's police would handle this (if ever).

And before anyone jumps into conclusions, no I do not think what the girl did was justifiable in any way.

Nic It is her choice and her decision.. But be it East, West, North, South, Middle East.. Getting paid for having sex makes you a prostitute.

It’s her choice in her free world!

Some of the above comments reveal that some people here (with a common background) appear to suffer from an insecurity complex towards the West!

In Sweden,Norway ,Iceland such business is illegal and the client(mostly men) is punished as it is regarded as a violence against woman ....

all countries should follow this way .. I think .

I am not agreed with this "her body she is free to do with it whatever she wants" slogan .

It gives only permission to the wealthy to do whatever they wish to do .

Getting paid for sex is prostitution whether it's your first or nth time...no ifs or buts about that. She obviously felt her end justified her means...right or wrong, that would really be between her & her God/Maker.

For all the women who are hating her for this, I'm sure it's just because you gave away a million dollars worth before you realized you were sitting on a gold mine.

I think the girl must have been inspired by that Japanese tradition when the young geisha virginity was sold to a rich patron .

But this tradition has been illegal in Japan since 1959 .

It is against human dignity after all .

Most people give it away free. Make some money but it could be classed as prostitution.

shame on the ppl who r bidding !

if she wud have asked for a contribution towards her education money ... wud the same ppl bid for that much amount !

the so-called society .... which imposes norms .. is far from being normal !

Now she can make it professional business, her zeal is broken now. I am sure that if this university came to know that she earned money in such a way, they will not admit her and she can earn more money by this way. Shame on her.

By plushed• 3 Feb 2010 09:23

it is technically prostitution. but who are we to judge? its her choice, its her life.

we are just part of the "society" that imposes norms. i mean, why should we care when she are not affecting us directly -- in a bad way? why do we have to justify other people's actions?

different than the many women who willingly become arm candy girlfriends for rich men -- trading their companionship and sexual services for the many "gifts" (cars, cash, trips, jewlery, etc.) their 'boyfriend' will give them?

This woman is just being more up front about it all.

Her body, her choice.
