Natalie Dylan is auctioning off her virginity to pay for graduate school.

Natalie Dylan, 22, has decided to auction off her virginity to the highest bidder in order to raise money to send herself to graduate school. So far, the bidding is up to $3.7 million. Putting aside the health, ethical, and legal issues, is this a smart money move?

Almost 4 million? I guess virginity is, after all, a rare commodity these days.

What bugged me about this story is the dichotomy between Dylan's sexual self control and her mercenary attitude about sex.

How do you go from straight-arming all the beta males from junior high school on through college to selling sexual intimacy with no intermediate steps? I suppose she could be a lesbian, or even lying about her alleged virginity, but failing that it just doesn't click.

The real kicker? She wants to be a family therapist and marriage counselor.

Good luck with that.

The other question of course is who would pay that kind of money for sex? Even Eliot Spitzer didn't pay that kind of rate.
