Shocking! "I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal." Shocking that at 22 she is still a virgin, I mean! Student auctions off virginity for offers of more than £2.5 million 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). Student auctions off virginity for offers of more than £2.5 million 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 Updated: 2:25PM GMT 12 Jan 2009 Natalie Dylan, 22, is auctioning off her virginity to fund her master's degree Photo: BARCROFT MEDIA Natalie Dylan, 22, claims her offer of a one-night stand has persuaded 10,000 men to bid for sex with her. 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. The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself. Miss Dylan, from San Diego, California, USA, said she was persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, paid for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks. She said she had had a lot of attention from a wide range of men, including "weirdos", "those who get really graphically sexual about what they want to do to me" and "lots of polite requests from rich businessmen". Miss Dylan said she did not think it was particularly significant to be willing to sell your virginity and insisted that she was happy to undergo medical tests for any doubters. 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 know that a lot of people will condemn me for this because it's so taboo but I really don't have a problem with that. "My study is completely authentic in that I truly am auctioning my virginity but I am not being sold into this. I'm not being taken advantage of in any way. "I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal." She added: "It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore."

Good things happening, reason returning, Volcker's back. Are we finally seeing the end of finance as the end all and be all of economic activity? Maybe so, I surely hope so. The Wall St. thugocracy will have to look for honest work: washingtonpost.com Look for some form of cancellation of toxic derivatives. Happy days are here again.........or are they? Note how Obama shrewdly, very shrewdly, extremely shrewdly, has bypassed Treasury and the Fed. Volcker is his main man on macro issues, and that is wonderful. I am impressed. First reason to be optimistic in years. Let's hope Volcker's plans are implemented. There will be opposition for his medicine, though ultimately good, is painful. Even gold likes the news.
