22-Year-Old Auctioning Off Her Virginity
Wednesday September 10, 2008

'Going once....

A Sacramento State grad is putting her virginity on the auction block to help pay for her studies.

'I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability,' the 22-year-old (who uses the pseudonym 'Natalie Dylan') says on tonight's The Insider. 'I'm ready for the controversy ... I'm ready to do this.'

See famous celeb virgins.

Dylan says she's already taken a polygraph test to prove her virginal status and is also willing to undergo a medical exam.

She says she hopes to net up to a million dollars from the auction, which will take place in Nevada at the infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch (eBay turned her down).

'Through this process I'm not just looking for the highest bidder,' she says, adding, 'I'm looking for someone who is a genuine, overall nice person.'

Howard Stern has denied a report that he is affiliated with the auction. '

RADIO shock jock Howard Stern is embroiled in a scandal over reports he was planning to auction a young girl's virginity on his show.

The 22-year-old brunette, who is using the pseudonym of Natalie Dylan for 'safety reasons', said the money will pay for her college tuition.

The San Diego brunette was introduced to the DJ by the owner of a legal Nevada brothel, where her sister already works.

But Stern has already denied claims of the auction taking place.

The infamous satellite radio host admitted he has invited the girl in question onto his show, but she's the one selling off her innocence online - not him.

But Natalie has told the UK's Daily Mail: 'I don't have a moral dilemma with it. We live in a capitalist society.'

'Why shouldn't I be allowed to capitalise on my virginity? I want someone with chemistry. We'll take bids until I find a suitor I'm happy with.'

The winner of the auction will get to sleep with her at the brothel, the New York Daily News reports.

And Natalie says she is willing to undergo a lie detector test and a gynaecological exam to prove she really is a virgin.

Natalie says her mother, who is a primary school teacher, doesn't approve of the auction but 'supports' her.

And she says she knows she will be attacked for the stunt.

She added: 'I understand some people may condemn me. But I think this is empowering. I'm using what I have to better myself.'

Natalie, who already has a bachelor's degree in women's studies at Sacramento State university, wants to study for a master's in marriage and family therapy.

Dylan was introduced to Stren by Dennis Hof, who owns the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, made famous by the HBO television show, Cathouse.

Hof said: 'I think it's a tremendous idea. Why lose it to some guy in the backseat of a Toyota when you can pay for your education?'

The auction will be launched on Stern's Sirius radio and conducted on the brothel's website.

She says she got the idea after reading about a Peruvian woman who needed to pay for her mother's medical bills.

Only god knows what kindve physchological affect this kind of thing will have on her years from now. This should be illegal and not allowed, but i think that since she decided to do something like this she is most likely dealing/facing some serious issues in her life or maybe she had a bad chilhood who knows. This is not a normal thing to do.

Re: oh wow, this is really sad...

I dont feel bad for her she knows exactly what she is doing. She says that she rather 'make money' since its something she is going to loose anyway.

I read the article on Perez Hilton,com so maybe that's why my opinion is so harsh.

i also wonder, could she be arrested if this actually goes forward? this is basically prostitution.

That's exactly what I was thinking. How is the legal? She's selling herself and that's ok?

Didn't realize the state before I posted.

It's still stupid, but I don't feel bad for her. She is putting herself in this situation.

Re: oh wow, this is really sad...

i guess you could say i feel bad for her bc of the reasons that someone might put themself in this type of situation. as milana alluded to, i would venture to guess something isn't right here.

Re: oh wow, this is really sad...

I wonder if she got the idea from Memoirs of a Geisha?? I just read that and that's basically what they do there--auction off the Geisha's virginity to the highest bidder! (although in a much different situation!)

Re: oh wow, this is really sad...

whats crazy is that she is an educated woman and already has a degree--she's working on a Master's now.....so its not like she's some loser from the streets who needs the money and has nothing to offer......she just figured this is a great way to pay for her education. totally sad but hey....she's making use of the fact that she can sell that part of her legally in Nevada.

personally I think she's full of crap and just wants the money...and the attention.

Exactly. She's a skank with obviously no self respect. I'm sure she's the type to end up losing her virginity to some loser anyway...why not make a payday of it?
