LOS ANGELES (Sept. 11) - A 22-year-old woman in the United States is publicly auctioning her virginity to pay for her college education, sparking a heated online debate about sex and morality.

The student from San Diego, California, who is using the pseudonym Natalie Dylan for "safety reasons," said she had no moral dilemma with her decision and found it "empowering."

But few bloggers sided with her and some suspected her intentions.

"I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems," she told celebrity television show The Insider on Wednesday. "But it will create some financial stability. I'm ready for the controversy, I know it will come along. I'm ready to do this."

"We live in a capitalist society. Why shouldn't I be allowed to capitalize on my virginity?" she added.

The woman, who has earned a bachelor degree in women's studies and now wants to start a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, is hoping the bidding will hit $1 million.

The online auction site eBay turned her down so the auction will take place at a Nevada brothel, the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, where her sister is working to pay off her college debts.

The date for the auction was not immediately available.

In a flurry of media interviews and appearances, she admitted that her mother, a fourth grade teacher, does not agree with her decision. Many on the Internet also disapprove.

"Maybe this is the conservative in me coming out, but this seems so wrong," wrote one blogger, Mike. "Isn't this prostitution?"

"I must say I feel sad for the future of our society," said Mike from Montclair State University in New Jersey.

"What disgusts me about this whole thing is the fact that she is promoting it so heavily. It seems less about having some guy pay for her virginity and more about trying to get her 15 minutes and a reality show," said a blogger called "Ent Lawyer."

She does have her supporters -- not surprisingly Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch.

"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?" he told reporters.

One thing that jumps to mind is how this lady got to 22 years of age still a virgin. My information tells me that most women are not still virgins at that age. I'm not making any moral judgement here, but this sale of a presumably intact hymen for the hoped for amount of one million dollars, is just a very specialized act of prostitution. In simple language it is sex for money....A lot of money. There might even be a buyer for it. Nothing would surprise me.

Sure, it's prostitution.

What's wrong with that? Some 23 year old hockey player just rented his body and talents for $57 million.

She's just doing the same thing, with a different body part.

Interchangable for announcing too.

Of course this is prostitution, it's taking place at a Nevada brothel. But, aside from being artificially valuable, what's so different from her doing this, and the girls who work there every day? It's a means to an end. It's a leg up with the assets they've been given. People pay for virginity every day in this world, and more often than not, it's being sold by someone else, with the virgin an unwilling participant. At least she's old enough to presumably know what she's getting herself into.

22 isn't that unusual. I've known older virgins, and I was one until 21.

HAHAHA Karrie said "Leg Up" and I will not pursue that one...

Nothin wrong with this. I hope she gets her million bucks at least- if she's lucky, maybe that there Golden Casino or whatever will buy her virginity to preserve- if someone owned her virginity and didn't "take" it, then it would have to be prederved forever, right??

Has she posted a picture yet? it would be a real shame to put in the winning bid only to find out that she's a heifer.

that's a good point... if someone bought it, would she then have no legal rights to it and be legally forbidden to have sex with anyone else until the purchaser "took" it?

The only difference is that the hockey player sold his services for a number of full seasons. This young lady is selling her body for one act that will be over in seconds. It might be longer, I don't know what the final contract will be......;-)

With consmentic surgery these days, she could make a series out of it. Maybe specialty deflowering pay per view events.

And why is this prostitution and not pornography? How could you check the credentials of the highest bidder? For that matter will it even be shown?

Without putting too fine a point on it, ;-) the Hymen, and the virginity is gone with the first penetration. Will the contract with the winning bidder include the rest of the act? I've seen nothing to confirm that.

I don't think anyone will see the actual deflowering but you make a good point. You are suggesting that surgery could restore a previously defoliated maidenhead. If this is true, what is to protect the prospective million dollar bidder? I think the term is, "Caveat Emptor".
