Re: Student sells virginity for $780,000
Women/girls selling their virginity is not that uncommon, I don't really think that is what we should be focused about. Its the fact that how easy she is about selling it to a stranger who hasn't been tested for STIs.
I wouldn't call it prostitution either its just sad that this lady has to go through this and be remembered for selling her virginity.
You wouldn't call it prostitution, why? It is prostitution, no matter how beautifully you wnat to wrap it.
And no it is not sad. She chose this path, nobody forced her.
Re: Student sells virginity for $780,000
Being pressured (or forced) to do it on your wedding night because that's what our culture expects isn't something to be proud of either..
So yeah, what is the relevance of 'our culture' in this story?
If only you were unbiased about 'our culture' aswell, just like you are about all the other cultures in the entire world.

I say think of it culturally.
We look at it from an Islamic point of view, in which it is unlikely it will ever be okay for a person to "sell" their virginity.
She's from Brazil, and I'm not saying Brazil has a booming prostitution industry, but I don't think sex would be seen as something so sacred as we see it. To be honest I was expecting like an 18 year old or something. But she's 20. She can either lose it to her boyfriend, or get $780,000 for a one timer. Kind of a no brainer for her if you ask me.
As far as the terms in the articles that objectify the woman, like "delivered", that's just media being media.
And I do agree with the girl. Its far more sane than doing it with a stranger at a party. If one Brazilian girl doing it with a stranger puts a roof over poverty stricken families, I will hold nothing against that girl or look down on her.
We can all choose to focus on her (alleged) noble intentions, or we can see her as a dirty prostitute who scored big. It's all about perspective and which way you want to look at it. For me, the glass is always half full.
interesting point of view
