A 27-year-old medical student may
have the prescription for instant
Internet notoriety by auctioning her
virginity.
The woman is using the name “Elizabeth
Raine,” and claims to be a student at
one of America’s top medical schools.
Raine hopes to net at least $400,000
from the bidding and is using an
Australian agent to avoid breaking U.S.
prostitution laws.
On her website,Raine also says she’s 5
feet 10 inches, 130 pounds, with
measurements of 34A-26-36. Her
photo shows a head of blond hair, but
with a gold banner covering part of her
face, it’s impossible to verify that her
eyes are green as she claims.
The auction commences, dubiously
enough, on April Fools’ Day. Siobhanne
Sweeney, Raine’s Australian-based
publicist, insists that is an unintended
coincidence.
“The date was picked based on the fact
it is the first day of the month and we
didn’t even think about April Fools’ as it
is not something big here in Australia,”
she told HuffPost by email. “It was also
based around Liz’s med school exams
and to make sure we had gained enough
interest for it to be a successful
auction.”
Financial gain tops Raine’s list of
eclectic reasons for selling her alleged
purity.
“Money is my motivation, but by no
means do I need the money. I’m pretty
safe and secure financially,” she told
EliteDaily.com.
Adventure, er*ticism, scandal and
challenging norms about virginity also
rank on her list.
“Many women are raised believing that
they should hold on to their virginity
and that it’s something that’s
important for their marriage, for their
relationship. It is a measure of how
good they are as a person,” she told the
website. “I never believed that and I
never even intentionally tried to stay a
virgin. It just really happened this
way.”
There’s no word on the date the auction
will end, but Raine promises the winning
bidder a “sensual 12-hour date” that
will transform her “from virgin to
literal whore.”
Love is not part of the deal, the New
York Daily News reports.
She plans to donate 35 percent of her
virginity earnings to a charity that
brings education to women in developing
countries, according to the Metro.
Raine is the latest woman to allegedly
attempt to auction off her virginity
online. If history repeats itself, the
odds are against any deal actually
happening.
In 2008, 22-year-old college
student Natalie Dylan supposedly
attempted to sell her first s*x
experience with the help of a brothel
owner in Nevada, where prostitution is
legal.
The deal went south when the auction
winner said his wife wouldn’t let him
reap the prize.
In 2012, Catarina Migliorini of Brazil
participated in a virgin auction as part
of a proposed documentary series
called Virgins Wanted.
Though she reportedly received a
$780,000 bid from a Japanese
millionaire, she rejected it because she
had misgivings about his true identity.
In 2013, Migliorini staged an auction
herself, but decided to find love
through a proposed reality
series, ”There’s Something About
Catarina.”
Also in 2013, Brazilian
teenager Rebecca Bernardo put her
virginity on the online auction block to
help pay her mom’s medical expenses.
It is unknown whether any deal was
actually consummated.
In November, a Russian teenager who
listed her name only as
“Shatuniha,” allegedly received around
$27,000 from an excited bidder.
