To begin with, I agree that “Coochie Snorcher” is just about the best term for a vagina, ever. I also agree that shelling out that much cash for a meaningless, unenthusiastic one-night stand with a virgin lesbian prostitute is a terrible deal. And I wouldn’t want to be any of the three people in this situation (the girl, the guy, or the girl’s girlfriend). I do not agree that this is some horrific act and that it demonstrates the degradation of human society. Sure, there are better ways to pay for college, but she chose this one. She wasn’t raped, and although it apparently was a bad experience, it’s not like she was permanently injured or something. And like others have said, some people put out at age 14 and get nothing out of it except bad memories–she put out at age 18, to a man she chose, on conditions she chose, and got a college education out of it. Sounds like a fine deal to me. An act between two consenting adults that helps one of them get an education? What’s wrong with that? ---

> [@Miller](#): > > …she got paid approximatly 1000 times the going rate from prostitution!.. Where do you live? I’m on the next plane out… 🙂 The story has been around for a while, I imagined it was just a way to get the press interested in the subject of student loans… I never thought she was serious about doing it. Twelve Grand does seem rather a lot…She ain’t exactly Britney… Half a dozen Bacardi and cokes does the trick where I’m from… ---

Damn… You have got me worried about my Girlfriend now. She is at Prosfygol Bangor, but since she is technically a foreign student she wil have roughly 4 times the student debt. Thanks a lot guys :mad: ---

I loved how she whined about reluctantly going through with it and how “it felt like it was happening to someone else”. She should switch majors to **Drama**. ---

I haven’t got much of value to add (other than I agree—this girl made her choice, could have backed out at any time, but didn’t. Boo hoo hoo). More bizarre and stupid than sad, really. I also wanted to emphasize this statement: > [@Miller](#): > > I can’t think of anyone who’d be _worse_ in bed than a virgin lesbian prostitute. I dunno. I think that needs to be someone’s sig or part of it needs to be a band name or something . . . ---

Note to Americans, the UK newspauper _News of the World_ from which BBC took the story, is pretty much equivalent to _The National Enquirer_. The student sold sex for far more than its normal street value, and then (probably) sold the story to a tabloid newspaper. Good for her, maybe she’ll be on page 3 of _The Sun_ next week. We should be neither condemning, nor sorry for her, she did what she chose to do, I got very well payed for it. ---

Y’know, I really, really doubt this happened. Check this out (from linked article): > [@](#): > > ‘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. Sounds like a publicity scam coupled with social commentary on the treatment of women in the western world and the overly high price of education, or something. It’s just too damn glurgy. In any event, don’t cry for her. Thousands of women (and a lesser number of men) prostitte themselves every day. Some go into it because they like the work, but many are forced into it by situations far more tragic than hers. Most get paid far, far less. Some are put through the worse kinds of degradations. It was her choice, she got her money. If it’s real (and I doubt it is), the John should be kicking himself. but for his virgin fetish he could have paid much less for better sex with someone much more discreet. ---

I don’t know what biotech engineers in the UK earn, after UK taxes. Pure conjecture, but it’s possible that, as a divorced guy he’s sexually frustrated and dealing with, uh, “issues” in regards to the female gender. Sill pure conjecture, it’s also possible that, \*after completing sexual congress with an unaroused, not conventionally beautiful lesbian, he may well have asked himself **"why didn’t I just jack off and put the money in my kids’ college fund?"** \*by “after,” I mean during the exact moment his prostate is de-constricting from his final ejaculatory spasm. Again, pure conjecture. ---

I’m glad others have mentioned it, because I was starting to wonder what the hell was wrong with me when one of the first things that jumped in my head was _Wow, that’s not a half bad idea…_ 😉 (The ideas being unable to obtain an education loan with upcoming tuition payments puts in your head…) Enough with all the “oh, the poor dear, it must’ve been so _horrible_!” She made the decision and got paid quite nicely for it. As many others have pointed out, losing our viginity is a memory many of us would rather not have. At least this girl gets an education out of it.
