VIRGINITY FOR SALE AUCTION!!!

So I'm sitting here watching the Tyra Banks show and there is a guest 22-year-old Natalie who is actually auctioning her virginity off. Hmm??? Isn't this prostitution yet in a different form? Her reasoning is so she can pay for her education. Whatever happened to scholarships, grants, loans or financial aid? Here's the kicker-she's not looking to "give it up" to the highest bidder, it's all based on chemistry. So now it sounds like she is dating online? I'm confused. She calls it selling her virginity. I would have more respect for this woman if she just went on one of those Tila-Tequila reality-type TV shows. I guess she's taking "being original" to a whole other level. Dennis Hof of Carson City Nevada, who is owner of the famous Moonlight Bunny Ranch, is helping Natalie to reach her goal. In fact once the deal is complete the "event" will take place on the ranch. He will also receive 50% of whatever offer she receives. So not only is she a prostitute but she's being pimped and won't even reap the benefits of her decision. Like the audience I just sit here and shake my head. Hopefully some young virgin girl is not sitting at home watching this thinking I want to be like Natalie. Natalie feels her actions will empower women-but why ask for money? And what message is this sending to other women? Young women in particular since most virgins are young women are under eighteen. One of Natalie's bidders just came on-stage and he looks like weird creepy old guy. Seriously he is about as old as Colonel Sanders. Poor Natalie! If only someone would talk some sense into this woman. Once she auctions off her virginity for a large sum of money, what are the odds she won't become a prostitue for a living? Will she be satisfied with just the money made from her virginity? Is this just a plea for attention? What do we think?
