We have seen a number of issues presentation regards engaging the new media to achieve several useful purposes, and also some issues which needed addressing due to the danger lurking from it. I read about this and find it interesting that someone is using new media with a twist.
Natalie Dylan and her elder sister, who was her inspiration for this auction
22-year old San Diego girl Natalie Dylan (pseudo name) is planning to auction her ‘Virginity’ online. She plans to use the money she raised to pay off her Masters Degree Course in Family and Marriage Therapy. She was inspired by her elder sister, who had worked as a prostitute for 3 weeks and earned thousand of dollars to finance her studies.
Since her announcement on the Howard Stern Show, there have been 10,000 bids received at her website with the highest bid at 2.6 million dollars. However she emphasises she reserves her right to choose who she wants to sell it to.
Online auctions has helped revolutionised how we buy and sell, but who would have thought virginity could also be auctioned?
Personally, I think she just degrades herself by selling herself online. In Asia or Singapore context, such idea is hard to materialise as we live in a conservative society. Many people will start condemning her action and faces a lot of criticism. In the US, this does not apply as they are really open and tolerable towards such matter. Which is why she refuses to barge even when there are harsh criticism against her as sections of the society accepts such action.
Maybe when she looks back at a later stage of her life, she may or may not regret her decision. That money could do her good in the short term, but she may live with guilt and regret that she could have practiced abstinence for her future husband. Or maybe, her reputation could have long gone down the drain.
