Auctioning Off His Virginity
British Teen Puts First Time Up for Auction on eBay
These days you can put almost anything on sale on the Web, but a 19-year-old British student has pushed the boundaries one step further. David Vardy, a student at Bournemouth University on the south coast of England, has put his virginity up for sale on eBay.
For Vardy, who said he doesn't have a serious girlfriend, this is the most creative way he thought he could get an opportunity to have his "first time."
"By the age of 19, most people have been under enough pressure to have lost their virginity," Vardy told ABC News' Good Morning America. "I haven't lost mine yet. I have to lose my virginity, so being a creative person, what is the most crazy way? I'll stick it out on the Internet and see what interest I get."
Vardy's ad on eBay has reportedly gotten 7,000 hits from places as far as Australia and Texas. He said he has received eight offers for potential mates and bids close to $11,000.
Vardy said he has been carefully sorting through the inquiries and has received some promising offers.
"Some of them have more money than sense," Vardy said. "And some seem to be jokers, but I don't want to deal with losers [or] stalkers, so that cuts out about 90 percent of the population. Some of them were models. I was talking to a model in London, and she was interested in bidding. But due to the media attention this has provoked, she's [retracted] because she has too much on her plate."
Vardy will take himself off the auction block and pick the winning bid at the end of this week. He insists that his unique method of trying to lose his virginity is not a form of prostitution and that he will not back out of the auction at the last minute.
"I'm not selling myself for sex repeatedly like a prostitute," Vardy said. "And the money issue is simply there to put back the losers and make sure that only serious bidders are interested in this. I want to protect my own safety, to be honest. … I was in this from the start to lose my virginity, and I'll see it through. So, I'm going to accomplish that if it's the last thing I do."
As some have said, you never forget your first time, and David Vardy may never forget his.
Why would a woman want to buy THAT? Experience sells, in my neck a da woods.
I can see all sorts of nightmare scenarios. At 19, he cannot.
Doesn't he have any hands?
Mark Morford reportedly has $15K in the kitty for this one.
Attention. Whatever woman buys it is going to get into the news, just like this cad.
Women dig attention. And I guess some are willing to pay a lot of $$ for it.
Offered by a 300 pound man named Bruno, from Newark.
Words for your tombstone, boy.
As the old saying goes, "We've already determined what you are; now we're just negotitating price."
Yep. Herpes will do that to ya.
And this is coming from a 20 year old who hasn't yet had to stoop this low. Yet. ;)
Let's see ... 19 ... nervous ... totally inexperienced ... this might last all of 10 seconds, which would make for one helluvan hourly rate!
Personally, I hope some seasoned citizen with lots of $$$$$ buys him. She'd enjoy the romp, and he'd learn more than he would from some young floozy.
Unless of course the winning bidder was Helen Thomas ...
The only bidders will be non-females.
I don't think he has that in mind.
It was probably Helen Thomas and Janet Reno bidding back and forth from about $1,000
Someone has done this before:

I thought the same thing about experience. Who would want to pay for it to begin with, and one that is completely without any skills at that?!?
Grab yer ankles, Davey boy...
Isn't an offer of prostitution against Ebay policies?
May never forget? I suppose that's possible if he sustains brain damage in an auto accident or gets Alzhimers, but there will be memory of the sordid event on his and her honeymoons, respectively. What in the heck ever happened to MARRIAGE, for crying out loud?
