I would also be scared that someone paying that amount is into weird sex. I really wish her to be well

[Bonelessbanquet]

I lost mine for a few wkds and cheesy chips... would rather it been in a lovely hotel with enough money in my bank for a lovely life.

[Rebeccaslicker]

Rachie - I get what you mean from her perspective. It's clear what she gets out of it, whatever you think of it.

But don't you think someone who pays to take a stranger's virginity just because she's young and pretty is a massive creep?!

[Fekko]

She will be known as 'the girl who...'. I don't think I could live with that handle!

[NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1]

I'm not sure I believe it to be honest. I would imagine eastern European or Russian would-be prostitutes are much cheaper. Why would a businessman pay £2.5 million for something he could get for a grand. It doesn't make sense.

Probably just an attempt to drum up publicity for the agency.

[SilverySurfer]

How lovely, I bet her parents are so proud

[christmaspudding1]

2 million should set her for life,i hope she spends it wisely

[LadyDeadpool]

Interesting that you're judging the men paying for it, surely if both parties are happy with the agreement and it's not got any murky/forced undertones then there's nothing for anyone to judge.

Maybe he is..... but so what? He's not forcing himself on her, she's entirely amenable to the transaction. Plus it does says she can pull out (excuse the pun) at any time.

We wouldn't dream of expecting any other person to publish who they're sleeping with, so why her?

[LakieLady]

If I had my virginity and could sell it for £2.5 million, I probably would.

That thought crossed my mind, too, LouBlue!

[Rebeccaslicker]

I just don't think a 19 year old who needs the money is in the same decision making position as a 50 year old who's rolling in cash. Just my view though!

[Stormwhale]

Sure for 2 million i probably would, but she didn't know if she would get £2 or £2million...

I don't think she needs the money, so much as wants the money from the article.

[Branleuse]

good luck to her. Not a bad price for very little work

[Rebeccaslicker]

Well the article would put it that way - the agency is hardly going to say, "we exploit people who need money". I worry that other girls might see this and think it's an easy way to make money - they might not be as safe or get much out of it financially!

[Cockmagic]

Wish I'd of thought of it years ago to be fair!

[SparklyLeprechaun]

It's just prostitution, as old as the world, nothing to be gobsmacked about. I judge the men as much as I judge any man who uses prostitutes. As for the girl, I gave my virginity away for free to a guy who cheated on me, I think she's getting a better deal.

It would appear she approached the agency with the idea. So she could pay tuition fees and go travelling.

She seems to have her head screwed on.

[ThePinkOcelot]

Wish I’d thought of it all those years ago!

[expatinscotland]

Wish I'd have thought of that!

[BoneyBackJefferson]

She went to the agency.
she went to the press.

Given what celebs are at the moment she could end up with her own tv show, fashion line or other scheme making money for very little work

[JemimaLovesHamble]

She may have her head screwed on. But as someone who has lived in the world a few decades longer, I'd wonder what she's going to have to do to earn that money. At the very least he'll be viagra-d up to the eyeballs. The agency say she can cancel at any time, but presumably they are getting a healthy percentage of that money. If she calls to say she's changed her mind, I don't think they'll be keen to walk away from $200,000 or however much their cut is.

[DearMrDilkington]

I really want to know who the Hollywood actor who nearly won is...

[Fossie]

I thought payment for sex was still illegal?

[DixieFlatline]

Vile, just like all prostitution.
