Web based Auction Markets: Virginity for Tuition

The sex trade is supposedly the oldest profession in the world. Nonetheless, today’s technology is giving the trade a facelift.

The web space has introduced a semblance of an auction market to those willing to offer their services. Not only that, services for niche market-virgins.

Excerpts of the new trade from the Telegraph

``A student who is auctioning her virginity to pay for a masters degree in Family and Marriage therapy has seen bidding hit £2.5million ($3.7m)…

``Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed.”…

``She said: "I get some men who are obviously looking for a girlfriend but I try and make it clear that this is a one-night-only offer…

``"I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal."…

$3.7 million for a ONE NIGHT STAND with a virgin! Wow. You can bet on a new market trend to emerge from this. And maybe this may expand to include other niches, especially with today's financial crisis. As an old saw goes, necessity is the mother of innovation.
