[This is Jason, by the way.]

The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself.

Um, okay. Say, what is that degree printed on, anyway?

She said she had had a lot of attention from a wide range of men, including "weirdos"

NO WAI! What a surprise.

That girl has been on sale for months. If she were really interested in selling, she would have done so by now. I don't think she's ever going to do it.

$3.7 million is a lot for a few minutes of "ow, ow, ow, ick." But why waste it on starving people or other silly causes, because woo, buying bad sex!

My guess? Fake. She's doing some sort of thesis project.

Look, honey. People have been fucking for millions of years. millions. You are not that special. Nobody is.

"I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal."

I hope you use the money to take a good English composition class.

For this amount of money, a man out for some sexual adventure could hire a carribean island full of former models and current prostitutes from Brazil for several days and have plenty of change left to set up a dozen scholarships for grad students who are probably more worthy. So in addition to this being a sad commentary on how everything these days is a commodity, its poorly spent money - which leads me to believe there is no chance this is an honest bid.

The virginity thing also stuns me. I would much rather be with a women who was a bit older, happy with herself and able to enjoy herself than some 22-year old, mercenary virgin. I've travelled far and wide, I've learned things - and one of them is that the role of youth and beauty in sex and love, is often overplayed - not that I could get a lot of women's studies classes to believe that is how I really felt.

Good luck getting your MFT license after this stunt!

( It's JUST LIKE the Gift of the Magi!)

She's going to make a GR8 therapist!

My guess? Fake. She's doing some sort of thesis project.
I agree so hard that it is tangible.

When sex and money intersect if the amount exceeds $1000 I wonder about the veracity and if the amount exceeds $2000 I tend to dismiss it as bullshit all around.

Personally, this doesn't really seem like a BFD to me. It's her body, she's allowed to do whatever the fuck she wants with it.

(Then again, I have weird issues with sex, so it might just be me.)

Well, that's one way to one-up her sister. "So you paid for your Master's with three weeks of prostituting? Look what I can make in a half hour!"

What sperose said. And if guys are that inclined to part with money for sex, that's their problem.

Hm. Maybe I could pay off my debts by offering my vagina to guys who will give me millions because I'm gay. Not a bad idea. I'd have to limit it to an hour though. heh.

I'm thinking I could guarantee my retirement if I started a service in which women would pay me to NOT have sex with them.

I'll be rich, I tell you! RICH!

If I were to make a MetaFilter post about this, I would title it "Slutbag Millionaire".

But I'm not gonna.

I'm with sperose and chewie, it's her body and she can do with it as she wishes. HOWEVER, I also think it's a stunt.

$3900 for four days and three nights at Viking's. That's a lot left over for scholarships.

I also think it's a project.
