What are your thoughts about "virginity auctions" ?

[msc545]

In Virginity Auctions, young girls agree to lose their virginity to wealthy men for large sums of money:

As long as they are consenting adult, none of my business other than the taxes due and if she's being harmed against her will. women have been selling their bodies forever and makes more sense to me to do that than to blow it on uncommitted boyfriends and hookups and friends with benefits.

is it Godly, nope... we've slid so far down de-evolution that it makes sense, but it's not right.

Money corrupts...

As long as she pays her fair share of taxes... that makes her V a taxable business!

There was a time people would sell their lives..."snuff films"... the'd be murdered for money. it's sad the state of humanity.

[Iron_Man]

Horribly horribly wrong and you know this

[msc545]

Agreed. I posted this because I am curious about what others think about it. I think it should be illegal.

[Iron_Man]

Yes it most definitely should be

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for most helpful award

[Genie23]

God... I'm appalled. I wish they'd understand that there are other ways too they could make something of themselves without needing to do this. But hey, I'm only relieved about one thing at least she wasn't forced into prostitution.

[msc545]

In a way she was forced - this is what happens as a result of capitalism and a corrupted political system and economy.

[slatyb]

We're all forced into prostitution of some sort of another. That's what jobs are. Many jobs are much harder on the body than prostitution, or consume a lot more time, or both.

[msc545]

@slatyb exactly right

[Genie23]

Ah! I think you made a good point. I just didn't realise that until now. It sucks.

[Yannishka]

Rich people battling boredom be like.

[MasterKS]

@yannishka interesting point.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

All I know is it doesn't sit right with me.

[Anemone978]

Back in the day I thought it was a really good idea but I wasn't skinny and hot so I lost it to a guy who loved me instead lol

[Quackthulu2]

I can respect the hustle.

[Gent207-2]

That's fucked up but it is what it id

[richardcory]

I think its a part of bodily autonomy. People have the right to do as they wish with their bodies as long as it doesn't harm others.

There is a price point where its not an irrational choice. Money early in life can have a lot of leverage on one's future

[SnowedIn]

Well... if they are of legal age and it doesn't cross any other laws (prostitution) then it's their choice.

[OfMiceandMen]

It's sad that something like that can be auctioned off. The young girl may earn some coin, but she won't feel good about it once it's all over.

The rich men should be ashamed of themselves, the epitome of the word creep! Look up creep in the dictionary and their name should be beside it.

[slatyb]

'The young girl may earn some coin, but she won't feel good about it once it's all over." How would you know that? I expect most of them will feel perfectly fine about it.

[slatyb]

Not everyone thinks like you do. A lot of people simply aren't that emotional about sex. It's not magic, it's just something people can do, or not.

[OfMiceandMen]

@slatyb Maybe so, but I gather most girls who respect themselves would feel bad about it afterwards. Those, who don't care, would likely continue not caring.

[msc545]

When girls can make upwards of a million dollars doing this, I don't think they're going to feel too badly about it afterwards.

[slatyb]

Only if they were fed a steady diet of shame as children.

[OfMiceandMen]

She may be perfectly fine with it, but what does she tell friends and family? If she lies about where the money came from, then she lives with that lie her entire life with the people closest to her. If she's honest and tells them where the money came from, then she risks losing some of them as friends and family can be really judgmental.

[OfMiceandMen]

Just saying choices have consequences.

[msc545]

First of all where the money came from is nobody's business but hers. Secondly, if she does need to tell people about it, she can always just say she won the lottery. In the end though this is really nobody's business. I think it's interesting that all the guys here think she's going to feel some terrible shame. I can tell you that in the context of that kind of money nobody feels shame.

[slatyb]

Wow, you must live around a lot of unhappy judgmental people. No one else gets a vote. Any one that would judge her is not worth having as a friend.

[msc545]

@ofmiceandmen "Respecting yourself" does not necessarily depend on sexual activity or lack thereof. The whole thing about virginity and all that is just cultural, and is only imposed on women. They have legitimate complaints about that.

[msc545]

@slatyb Sort of, yes.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I guess that's capitalism at it's finest. Two consenting adults... none of my business.

[EmmaMary]

What an extremely sorry and sad state the world is becoming! smh

[slatyb]

WTF not? If women were smarter, the supply would be a lot higher.

[MementoMori777]

All they gotta do is lie lol

[boggboss]

Ridicules but if people are willing to pay then people will choose to sell

[Summeroflove]

I think it’s fish

[Summeroflove]

*disgusting

[Summeroflove]

Also prostitution is illegal in most areas so

[DermalPunch]

I am against prostitution.

[Jazzy54]

WTH? Gross. 🤮

[exitseven]

it sort of makes me sick.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I think its mess up big time.

[Sparkie460]

That is absurd

[LiamJHayden]

Kind of repulsive, but it makes more fiscal sense than her giving it up for free to some random dude, especially if she properly invests it.

[mommymommymommy]

So, prostitution. Put a label of "poland springs" on a bottle of tap water, and call it "bottled water", it's still just tap water.

Point is, "virginity auctions" is prostitution, and prostitution is illegal

[slatyb]

Not everywhere.

[mommymommymommy]

@slatyb Everywhere, only parts of vegas

[slatyb]

The US isn't "everywhere".

[mommymommymommy]

@slatyb Yes it is. Only parts of vegas, is it legal

[msc545]

The other point is that prostitution laws are rarely enforced anywhere, and are certainly not enforced on the internet, so nobody cares if it is "illegal".
