Now came across this, read it and you tell me. I have my thoughts on this but will wait for replies as it will give to much away..
I call it prostitution, some may call it being inovative, but hey what ever floats your boat.

Brings a whole new meaning to credit crunch.

As you say Justine whatever floats her boat

We all sell ourselves in one way or another - being employed, self employed whatever - we are all selling ourselves on the open market - what part you sell is up to you.

Some people sell their mental capabilities, some their creative side, others their manual dexterity, some their strength - we all do something to put food on the table and clothes on our backs. This person wants to sell part of her body (as models do) to the highest bidder

I am not bothered as long as it does not upset me.

Totally agree Broken cross - credit crunch - like that one.

I think she should go ahead although I myself would never pay for it. As it says in the last line- it's her body, she should be free to do what she wants to with it. It's not as if she is selling drugs to pay for her education.

Sometimes we humans can be too moralistic.

I say it's hers to choose to do with as she choses, think she's aiming a bit high with £½m tho' :lol:

Best of luck to the lassie. If she finds someone willing to pay the money, it will be no worse than some of the casual sex that takes place, for a few drammies and a Ruby Murray, every weekend!!

One note of caution:-

I saw her listing just before eBay pulled her auction. Not trying to put anyone off bidding or anything, but the item was listed as "USED" ;)

It's legal where she is and it's her choice just as it would be the other party's choice to pay that amount of money.
We all sell something with me it's my skill some it's their brain some it's their labour we all get paid for what we sell, it is all prostitution I prostitute my skill for money thats the way the world goes round it is all up to the individual what they are willing to trade.

Yeah I suppose it is prostitution really. But the question I suppose is whether you consider prostitution to be right or wrong. Either way it's legal and if that's what she wants then good for her :)

is it any worse than holding out for a ring?

in my eyes this is prostitution as she is willing to sell her body, and because eby wont let her do it online she is going to try nd sell herself to the highest bidder in a brothel, so think that says it all doesnt it.

It does? What is "it all" then?

Please elaborate....

well excuse me but i was led to believe that a brothel was where woman of certain kind sold their bodies, but it is still prostitution at the end of the day no matter where it takes place.

If that's what she wants to do it's her choice. I would be worried about the kind of person who would be bidding though.

Hasn't it been done before?

You're excused ;)

I think the phrase I highlighted in your statement is what really 'says it all'.
What on earth is a certain type of woman? I think you'd be surprised at the daytime profession and level of education of some 'working girls'.

I would say that at a brothel this girl would be giving herself a level of security that she wouldn't get elsewhere. If she's thought this through and is sure about it, then I can't see a problem. After all it is her body.

What about the morals of it.If you read some of the story it goes on about her wanting to get cash for her studies on marriage and family, would yu want to take advice from someone who would sell her body..I know i would not.There are no morals left for this woman. IMO

It is your morals verses her morals I like you would not concider it as my moral code sya no it's illegal here and it's not what I would do.
But it is legal where she is it is talked about advertised and generally acepted over there so it is her choice. live and let live no one is asking us to do it. In a free country everyone has the right to do what they want aslong as it does not hurt other.
the other side of the question Who would want to pay that amount of money? I think it is all hope over experience and will probably never happen

Your body is your own commodity to use and be used as you choose.
At least she has the choice, unlike the east European girls and the like who are sold as sex slaves, what choices do they have?

Sapphire2803
15-Sep-08, 17:27
Morals are a personal choice and one should never try to impose their own morals on another.

Justine, if you (for instance) went to ask a solicitor for advice, how would you know what they had or hadn't done in the past?

Bad Manners... What she wishes to do, the actual act is perfectly legal here. Her advert on the other hand would get her into trouble.

Jordan sold her body in order to get herself started. If I recall correctly, you were happy enough with that situation. If the lassie in question here raises enough money to pay for her studies and make a career later on in life, she could end up having simply used her "asset" as a stepping stone to a better life for herself. That is no different from Katie Price and her immersion in sleaze before moving into the mainstream.

Is it the Ruby Murray that makes a woman hot stuff, scorrie? ;)




Does she come with a certificate of authenticity of being a virgin..:eek:

I was wondering about that too, lol! :lol:

I'm not surprised her mother doesn't agree with her decision. I wouldn't either, if she was my daughter!!!

How many Orgers would condone it if it was their daughter, I wonder???

the big difference is jordon never sold her body for sex like this one is doing so a bit different i think.

Its hers to sell, no-one elses.
Why shouldnt she? I may not agree with what she's doing but its her right to do with it as she pleases. If she wants to invite people round and put it on a webcam, good luck to her.
Not my personal choice of the way to lose ones innocence but it doesnt harm me so let her crack at it.

I think its up to her and in this day and age at least she has put some value on herself and is not prepared to have sex for a packet of fags or a bottle of vodka.

She really should learn to respect her body, and learn the value of it.

Respect her body? So if you're willing to have sex you don't respect your body?
As for learning the value of it, some would say that's exactly what she is doing...

I don't remember who said it, but...
There's sex you pay for, and sex you get for free. Sex you get for free turns out to be much more expensive.

This whole thing reeks of a stunt. This girl has been on Howard Stern's radio show talking about it. She is also doing a "womens studies" degree. I suspect she is going to turn this experience into a masters thesis and/or a book.

i didnt say that did i, but selling your body is hardly being respectful to yourself now is it.

Sapphire2803
15-Sep-08, 19:20
In your opinion... No, apparently not, but that is only your opinion.

Standing on street corners selling yourself to get enough money to pay for your next fix is without doubt showing a lack of respect for yourself, but that's a different story altogether.

Let her get on with it. She's a consenting adult.

Being a prostitute or sellng yourelf for sex doesn't always equate to a lack of self-respect.

justine
15-Sep-08, 20:24
my morals are mine and hers are hers, but i just think any self respecting woman would not be bidding away somehthng that she has obviously been proud of keeping.Her virginity, and now shes happy to sell her self to the highest bidder..Funny if the highest bid had been $5.with $1.34 p&p.

Lolabelle
15-Sep-08, 20:38
It's her body, and her's to give or sell as she pleases, but I can't say I like the thought of my neice doing something like that.

I'm not a prude and lost my virginity just to be rid of it, because when I was a kid (not a little kid) it was very unfashionable to be a virgin, sad but true. Now I am older I wish that I'd had more sense.

But what confuses me is that she has decided to keep her virginity up until now, so does she value this state, only to sell it to the highest bidder now????
What happens if the highest bidder is some yucky smelly old geezer who just happens to be rich...
And what if no substantial bids are offered????
Does she have a reserve????

:eek::confused

well i hope that its worth whatever it cost for her virginity, engagement ring, wedding honeymoon and whatever he gives.Why does she not start a vcall girl and she can sell her virginity to anyone who can afford an expensive escort,she would make her money quicker.

aye that way she can pretend to be a virgin for ever stupid male that is willing to pay her for her services.

Just like the way Jordan respected her body by putting it all in a magazine for any dirty old man with £4 to have a good look at!! Also in the way Jordan respected her body, by having two large plastic sacks grafted on so that she could pretend to have large breasts.

There is no consistency in your logic. Come to think of it, there isn't much logic in it either ;)

Narrow minded views can and are different when seen as opinions, thats what the thread is about,
we are all entitled to our own opinions,mine on this are strongly against what she is doing, i have no problem saying that, but its not me or anyone one on here selling theirs,

I agree with the parachute remark,

i am open minded about most things, but this is just nasty selling your body for money, just hope she doesnt end up with men that wont use protection, as they have paid for her wont it be their choice, she might regret her decision if she ends up with a life threating illness.
