How does this get around prostitution laws?

Legal in Nevada

 

[old manatee]

I would have definitely sold my virginity for $400,000 if I had thought it was an option.

 

[Darryl M R]

With this type of story a gofundme created by one of her friends would probably go pretty far.

In the end it is her choice so more power to her, it doesn't sound like she is sad about this decision.

 

[MagnesD3]

Yeah... selling your body is just something I will never agree with as being a good choice. Also this topic makes me think of equality and how never in a million years if a male virgin made this exact same claim that he would ever get paid that much for his virginity, idk its just interesting to me.

 

[entremet]

If you are gonna pay for sex, wouldn't you want a seasoned pro?

Why get someone who hasn't had been to their first rodeo?

 

[Plywood]

that's a lot. can we get a gofund me started for another virgin so they can experience the joy together? lol

 

[Hazmat]

How much do the regular girls there go for?

From watching the Cathouse series it seems like 1-2 grand for an hour.

Also, the proprietor (pimp) is going to take half of that $400k.

[psynergylover]

Anyone with that kind of money isn't hurting for sex and has much better options.

It sucks she thinks this is the only recourse she has to help her family, but that's a ridiculous amount of money for something like this.

.

 

[highrider]

Well I'm sorry what happened to her and her family, that could happen to anybody. I don't really have any feeling about what she's doing to get money, it's her choice if men are willing to pay that. Sex is monetized everywhere in our world.

 

[Monocle]

Yeah...this is wrong.

Why? Why in the world should a grown woman face the disapproval of self-righteous strangers for a personal choice that could benefit her family?

Also, how much would you say your virginity was worth?

 

[flintstryker]

Seems like an utter waste of money

 

[shingi70]

Are their rules in place for this, what's stopping the dude who paid 400K from doing some really depraved sexual acts.

 

[Monocle]

Seems like an utter waste of money

Anyone who pays for this is purchasing an idea as much as an experience.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

who will post the sunsetairplane.jpg first

Doesn't make it less of a waste in my book

 

[ghostjoke]

Every time I see one of these stories I wonder why you would pay so much money and not get a pro. It's such a weird fetish, like paying for poor service. Gotta respect her hustle.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Are virgins rare now a days or something? I would assume millionaires have no issues fishing for virgins with just their pocket money alone. 400k sounds like a bullshit bid to me.

 

[clemenx]

Good for her if it doesn't really mean anything to her, so she remains true to her values AND she finds some sucker is willing to pay that much.

No downsides.

 

[biggersmaller]

maidenflight.jpg

She's 20, a virgin and clearly doing this because she's desperate. She can't even legally drink. Shit's going to be awkward.

Well...she's 21 and nearly anyone would be "desperate" for $400k.

 

[legacyzero]

I mean, it's her idea and her body. I dont see the problem, really.

 

[Kindekuma]

Nah. Japan has an issue currently with having too many virgins. Something like 40% among men and women.

$400,000 is ridiculous, man. RIDICULOUS

 

[thelastcrusader]

Did you read why I said it was wrong?
Also the only virginity I got is my ass and I wouldn't sell.

 

[How About No]

...this is really sad

 

[Demoskinos]

I mean I'm all for a woman to choose what she does with her body but this... is unfortunate that she is deciding to go through with this. Although i guess desperate times call for desperate measures.

But with so many crowd funding options these days.... i really hope that she could find another way to help gather money for her family.

 

[wenis]

Do what you gotta do.

No shame.

 

[draetenth]

If you are gonna pay for sex, wouldn't you want a seasoned pro?

Why get someone who hasn't had been to their first rodeo?

Knowing that there's all sorts of fetishes out there. I'm sure there are people who have a fetish for having sex with virgins.

 

[spelen]

"the house was uninsured" didn't know you can buy a house in the states without insurance .... that's the problem I have with this story smh

 

[Sanjuro]

How many NES Classic Editions do we need to flip to save this girl's family?

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Anyone who pays for this is purchasing an idea as much as an experience.

Unless I'm getting an ROI

No idea is worth $400k

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

If I had that amount of money to be charitable with I would just give the family the money so the daughter can make this decision with a person of her choosing.

 

[Two Words]

Why does her family need anything close to $400,000?

 

[boclfon479]

Maybe I'm missing something, but if she is going to have sex with someone and get 400k, doesn't that constitute as prostitution in some shape or form?

 

[draetenth]

Prostitution is legal in Nevada:

Of the 20 or so women who work at the Kit Kat Ranch, one of Nevada's legal brothels, Katherine Stone is the only virgin.

 

[Sdkkds]

Why does her family need anything close to $400,000?

So she should give him a discount?

 

[zelas]

Was 70% positive this was going to be a necrobump from years ago.

These Nevada brothel's do this almost annually to drum up business. Besides the one in op...

http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/features/report/9522/this-27-year-old-medical-student-is-auctioning-off-her-virginity-online/

Raine is not the first person to auction off her virginity. In 2009, 22-year-old Natalie Dylan made headlines for selling her virginity for a whopping $3.9 million at Nevada’s Moonlite Bunny Ranch, and 21-year-old Brazilian model Catarina Migliorini was offered more than $700,000 from a Japanese businessman when she auctioned hers off in 2012 as part of a documentary, Virgins Wanted.

Yet while both of these auctions ultimately fell through, with Dylan claiming the original bidder had pulled out and Migliorini citing a contractual dispute with the documentary’s director, Raine is positive she’ll go through with hers.

Virginity is losing its luster with the way the price keeps dropping dramatically.

 

[MUnited83]

There hasn't been one verified account of a completed virginity auction. Nothing's gonna come (heh) of this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginity_auction

Was just about to say. Those stories never seem to be true.

I'm guess the "bids" she's reporting are completely bogus and just a way of trying to hike up the price in hopes someone will want to one up the offer.

 

[Kayhan]

"This is gonna be great!"

*2 minutes later*

"I can't believe I paid $400,000 for this...."

 

[Nickle]

She'll get more then that.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

This is just PR for this brothel. No one is paying that much.

 

[AuthenticM]

This is neither right nor wrong. Her decision.

 

[FUME5]

This isn't the first time someone has auctioned their virginity, pretty sure all previous auctions have been shut down for various reasons, primarily because the...product? Service? In question couldn't be verified...

 

[TAJ]

"the house was uninsured" didn't know you can buy a house in the states without insurance .... that's the problem I have with this story smh

The house could have been paid off.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

I estimate mine at a grand total of $0.00.

 

[paragonpro]

This is a good looking girl, she shouldnt lose it to someone who is willing to pay, it should be someone who gives a shit about her. (White knight...awayyy!!!!)

 

[bionic77]

From watching the Cathouse series it seems like 1-2 grand for an hour.

Also, the proprietor (pimp) is going to take half of that $400k.

400 different hookers or 1 virgin?

You have to really be into virgins or charity to do that.

I feel like it is a ripoff but I am pretty ignorant on the going rate of hookers and virgins.

 

[Obliterator]

I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of paying for sex as a concept. But man I don't think I could pay money to take a women's virginity I would feel really really wrong and shitty about myself. Just seems like an experience that shouldn't be a transactional situation.

 

[Davey Cakes]

That's such a terrible value.

 

[Shadybiz]

Why does her family need anything close to $400,000?

Well assuming that she would be doing this in one of the legal brothels in Nevada (not all are), the $400k would be taxable income, so she'd owe around $116-ish thousand. If they are in need of a new house and replacing items, the remaining $284K would probably be about right in most places.

 

[Agnostic]

400k for an hour of labor is baller. I remember when I exploited my body as a manual laborer for 7/hr doing construction.
