Student 'sells virginity' via web
A lesbian university student who auctioned her virginity on the internet to pay for her studies is reported to have had sex with the highest bidder.
Rosie Reid, 18, from London, slept with a 44-year-old BT engineer in a hotel room in Euston after he paid her £8,400, the News of the World reports.
But she told the newspaper: "It was horrible... I felt nervous and scared."
She hatched the plan to avoid graduating with debts of £15,000 from her Bristol University degree course.
'Uncomfortable'
Ms Reid, from Dulwich, had sex with the divorced father-of-two after he gave her a banker's draft, according to the News of the World.
Her partner, Jess Cameron, stayed in the same hotel while she went through with the act nearly three weeks ago.
She told the newspaper: "I felt obliged... to please him as he had just paid all this money."
But she added: "It didn't feel like it was happening to me. I felt like I was watching it happen to someone else.
"I was just so relieved when it was over... I was desperate to get back to Jess as I felt so uncomfortable."
The next morning she said she joined her partner and they "just cried and cried".
'Drastic action'
The social policy student put herself on offer in January, saying she would rather sleep with a stranger than face years of comparative poverty.
She is reported to have had responses from more than 2,000 men from around the world.
The student was working lengthy hours in order to pay for tuition fees and living accommodation in Bristol when she came up with the auction idea.
She said at the time: "I am devoting too much time to paid employment and not enough to studying.
"It started as a joke, and ended up as 'why not?'".
Auction website eBay later withdrew her ad, but she continued the auction through her own website.
It is not known if the News of the World paid her for her story.

Let me think about the "values" of this woman. She explains that she decided she'd rather sell herself as a skanky prostitute than honestly earn and pay back the money she spent on her education. She refers to that as "living in poverty." You know, I have a mortgage several times larger than her education debt. Why don't I and everyone else in my neighborhood just do something morally bankrupt so we can escape from this "misery?" Geesh. She's just a petty selfish shallow jerk, why is the article written as though she deserves sympathy?

LOL! No wonder she's crying.
She's gonna have to perform a LOT more tricks to earn that much now that she's just an ordinary hooker.

Her parents must be very proud.

If I was a bloke paying all that money, I'd be asking WHERE are the BOOBIES! *LOL*No kidding. If I have my exchange rates right, they should be the size of a Cooper Mini.
Each.

Not that she's particularly ugly or anything, but for that price I expect Anna Kournikova!

This story reminds me of an old joke (slightly off-color, but less off-color than the "news" story itself):
A man's at a party and he starts talking with a woman. The man says, "Would you sleep with me if I gave you ten million dollars?" The woman looks at the man, pauses, and says, "Ten million for one night? Well, yes," she says.
"How about a million dollars?" says the man? "Maybe," says the woman.
"How about a hundred dollars?" says the man. "No way," says the woman. "What do you think I am? A whore?" "Oh, we've already established that," says the man. "We're just quibbling about the price."

I don't get the whole lesbian thing anyway.
I mean, which one does the nagging?
And when both of them finally get in the mood at the same time, it must be a synchronization of cosmic precision.
When they have an argument, which one is always wrong?
To: AmishDude
Personally, I couldn't afford to be a lesbian. We all know how expensive restaurants are, right? Well, now imagine if every time you wanted sex you had to eat out...
Sorry, I couldn't resist!
To: Charles Henrickson
"I'm a good girl..." It's amazing how many times I have heard that sentence...
