28-year-old Elizabeth Raine comes from a happy American family and has a promising medical career as a doctor, but decided to auction of her virginity to raise funds towards her doctor training.
After reaching bids of over $800,000, Elizabeth has decided to ‘put a stop to this kerfuffle’ surrounding the selling of her virginity.
According to Gawker, she said: ‘With the blessings of my management and the high bidders, I have decided to put a stop to this kerfuffle (to describe it nicely) and return my focus to my medical training.’
‘I still do possess some spitefully strong beliefs about virginity, prostitution, and a woman's right to do as she damned pleases, but school is my first priority (as it has been for my entire life). ‘
‘At this point, I no longer care about the auction, at all. This was a very easy decision.’
She continued, telling site visitors that the auction was not about money but was a feminist statement: ‘It is no longer about the money… Instead, very broadly, it is about how society continues to exercise control over female sexuality by chaining it tightly to female morality.’
Do you think she should have put her virginity up for auction?
