StumbleUPDATED STORY: Experts: Plan for Nevada ‘virgin auction’ could face legal trouble Justin Sisley was forced to move a "virginity auction" from Australia to Nevada, after authorities said they would charge him with prostitution if the filming went ahead. Sisley has gone public with the controversial project, claiming to have at least three willing participants. The virgins will be paid $20,000 each to take part in the auction and will also receive 90 percent of their "sale price," according to a report in the Sydney Daily Telegraph.

This is distasteful and demeaning to women. Should be frozen in it's tracks..
Going to be some interesting legal issues raised if the bidders are not in an area that allows prostitution. I can see where some areas, like OK would be likely prosecute anyone from there that placed a bid, and might conceivably find a way to bring charges against anyone viewing it as an accessory if they want something to hang on someone. TN could do that, too. TN is notorious for pulling dirty tricks to go after adult-internet content and sales.
environprotector, one of the virgins is a man. I don't see how this is anymore demeaning to women than regular prostitution.
If the bidding and ultimate act take place in a legal brothel, it appears that this is legal. If people are bidding online or over the phone, is that legal? But will someone really pay more than $20,000 for someone's virginity?
They used to have arranged marriages and mail order brides in the old west. This should be good for business and tourism. The people should be branded first though, another old west tradition.
i have nothing better to do today than judge the world... oh wait, actually i do have better things to do.
I think we are devolving back to Roman morals (or the lack of them :) )
SAWEET! I think there is a market for things like this as is indicated by the amount of prostitutes ALL over the internet and the brothels right outside of Vegas. I have been known to solicit a whore or two. If they want to sell their services they should be allowed to. Environprotector's opinion is that it is demeaning to women, but if the women are volunteering to do it, who are we to dictate to them what they are going to do with their bodies? It is not demeaning if that is their decision. If people dont like it, then maybe they should watch something else.
We are reverting back on morals it does seem..........
Whats next a Show on Water boarding, or lets say public Executions American style or Mexican drug lord style then we can compare on who can make it more painful and prolong it as well.......
If there's enough money in this Virgin Auction then we might see a rise in young kidnappings.
Then someone will want to push the envelope a little farther and have a Pedophile virgin auction.
This might even open up a new market of human trafficking
This is so Nevada.
Australia, dumping ground for Britain's wretched refuse, says no to hocking your hymen over there.
So, being Nevada and seeing the obvious value of the deed for dollars in our usual Vegas Baby way, we have glommed onto the notion of capitalizing on this unholy joining.
It's sick my friends. I thought swindling of the math-challenged sucked a bit, but this 'deal or no deal, darling' is over the line in my dumb book.
I have a question, what if 10 or 15 people chip in at work and they bid together as a co-op kind of like a lottery ticket? Of course being my idea I think it is ok for me to go first. Hey airweave, your opinion is that this is an "unholy" joining? In what chapter and verse did God say "thou shalt not bid on whores"?
yo lover,
It was in Sluts, 3rd chapter, verse 11 - 13.
"Slut not away thy own hymen, mah dearies, for the dough shall only cheapen thy life!"
That 'unholy joining' collision of concepts merely occurred to me out of thin air as I flew from notion of Nevadans capitalizing on ths babes' decision to auction their asses.
Joining them in this consentual contractual agreement seems not only very Nevada but also somewhat unholy in that it denies the sacredness of popping that cherry and supplants it with dough, fame and ostentatious assiness instead of the intimacy usually associated with slamming the ham with your honey.
LOL very well said!
I think it is great that this girl who is very unremarkable has an opportunity to get her 15 minutes, literally.
It does make me wonder what happens in 15 or 20 years when she settles into her professional life as attorney, CEO, accountant, or black jack dealer which seems much more likely, or her kids see their dear old mom on youtube of the 2030's? Also what happens if the USA doesnt give her a visa, are they going to smuggle her into the country in a Chinese shipping container?
She'll end up covered in lice. All over America, people will howl and puke at their flat screens!
What we do for money!
"Mom, that was you???"
hmmm... Makes you wonder what these Jonhs are gonna look like. Probably some rich Arab.
Or some mouth-breathing Nevada Gold miner with a dusty pickup and poke of nuggets the size of cheeseburgers.
They make good Johns when they're gettin five figures for mucking about.
Hey airweare,
Are you aware of where the British first dumped their "refuse?" You may have heard of them--Virginia and Maryland. You ignorant Yank.
Actually the Romans dumped their ignorant refuse in England, you ignorant peasant.
LOL
LMAO
And I was a border state baby. They came from the Confederacy and took everything including the kids. Then the Yankees came through and took whatever was left - eggs, corn, cattle, hogs. It was awful being the youngest girl. They all wanted sex and I was just ten. Really mature, but just ten.
That was a while back, but I truly hold no grudge against either group of guys. They're just like folks today, wanting to take whatever they can and really not wanting to give anything up in trade. The rebs were better lovers, though. They said they loved me.
It was likely God's green truth. I was a cute little thing, even at just ten. I had the equipment. They taught me to use it.
god bless you there CommentWatch.
And thanks for the memories.
I'll check it out if its on youtube. I'm sure these virgins are over 18. Tough to find an older virgin. How will they know for sure if their virgins? Maybe I won't check it out on youtube. hahahaha...
Only 20k? Michael Jackson paid 8 figures for a boy's virginity!
you guys must have missed that auction where the 22 year old, not so attractive girl was forced to move her virginity auction from ebay to Dennis Hof's brothel in northern nevada where her virginity went for a cool 3.4 million.
BTW, they had her medically certified a virgin.
i guess a similar test as a girl would have to pass to marry royalty in Britain. Remember Princess Diana had to pass the virgin test before marrying Charles
If I were a 16 year old girl I would have to think about waiting till i was 18 and moving to nevada where I can legally get a few million instead of giving it away to a stupid boyfriend who won't be there next year anyway. There's her education paid for without student loans.
hey maybe there's a job for me, virgin agent and recruiter for sick, twisted perverts to bid on.
its demeaning to them if they are forced to d it and demeaning in our eyes for our own opinion. No one is forcing them to do it..they are being paid, etc..is it demeaning to men who are strippers? Do you feel any "lower" because men are strippers? I doubt it.
these girls earn in excess of $200,000 a year how is that demeaning?
strange Australia allows prostitutes in certain areas.. wonder why they were against auction?
justme ??? do you think diana was a virgin and we in the UK run tests in the royal family you are sooo mistaken , maybe you think we all live in fairy tale cottages too?
I think they will have to go all the way down to the 5th grade to find any virgins.
This show isn't going on without a serious serious fight. Hold on people....I feel a storm com'n on !!!
I think this virgin auction stuff is comical. Somebody willing to auction off their purity for a few million. Go figure.

I am so glad they jerk those obnoxious all-caps things that are unreadable because of the volume of shouting.
Thank you my Sun.
What a self degrading thing to do to one's self.
I ask myself why there is so much wrong with the world and then I see this and realize it's central theme is the same in all that is wrong. Somewhere, somehow "mankind" began thinking of himself as something more than a dumb animal but he has never had the inteligence to back it up.
The confusion comes as a result of lack of the reality of having a "soul" but hoping otherwise.
Apes in "human" suits.
My apologies to the uncorrupted of the species.
Ya ever seen a monk douse his holy self with gasoline and flic his Bic?
Over in Nam fifty years ago, they were torching themselves in protest of the war for oil or dominoes or for something else that they never owned up to before they said 'Oops, it was a mistake.'
Same goes with the babes hocking their hymens to the highest bidder. Good luck to them. I wish them riches and joy and congratulations on the guts to cash in on their intimacy. Maybe the wad of dough will cover the expnses involved in readjusting to life its own self after the fame and eehhaa drop you back into the atmosphere.
That little voice inside that gets its jollies, not from the orgasm but from the respect and appreciation, well, that is one you say goodbye to when you dance off into the golden dawn of hookering your ass to a momentary eeha.
I can't blame 'em, but I feel sorry for 'em because I happen to know pretty well what this says about their state of self respect and their desire to make it all perfect in one fell swoop. That's the way children waste their time and talents.
ruuuuu beee,
don't take yer luv ta town
I suppose this is one way to cover the budget shortfall in Nevada.
The fame from hocking your hymen
Will fade like the light from the flame.
You're selling all your tomorrows
For mirages in wishes' domain.
You'll wake from your dream, no longer a queen,
And regret your hair-brained scheme.
So gather your wits before it's too late
And bring your young firmness to ME!
