Girl sells virginity for half a million pounds
A Brazilian student has reportedly sold her virginity for nearly half a million pounds in an online auction.
A Japanese man, called Natsu, bid $780,000 (£485,000) to be the first to sleep with 20-year-old Catarina Migliorini.
It was one of 15 bids for the physical education student - who says she will use part of the cash to build homes for poverty-stricken families.
Miss Migliorini also plans to use the money to study medicine in Argentina, according to Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo.
"I am 20, I am responsible for my body and I am not hurting anyone," she said.
"For me, it's not prostitution. When someone does something once in his or her life, this is not considered a profession.
"If you take a picture and it comes out good, you are not a photographer because of it."
Miss Migliorini was one of two virgins to take part in the auction for an Australian documentary.
Russian man Alexander Stepanov also sold his virginity on the Virgins Wanted auction, receiving the winning bid of £1,876 from a Brazilian woman called Nene B.
The documentary has attracted criticism on its Facebook page with several users voicing concerns over the ethics of the auction.

I put in a bid for £10 and she emailed back saying "What do you think I am". I replied we know what you are we are just haggling over the price.

Fair play to her.
Adrian Wagstaff
I'd sooner buy half a million pounds of something which would last a lifetime or longer.
Micheal Booth
Well, she can now buy something that will last a lifetime.... an education to become a Doctor!!
Dave Harrison
Michael. Very true. At least that puts to bed the dross she was spouting about doing it for the poor of Brazil
Micheal Booth
At least she waited until she was 20 to loose her virginity! Unlike our teenagers who seem to take great joy in helping the UK have the worst record for young pregnancy..... and lets not forget our STI record!!!!
Alison E. Blaber
silly girl, she'll regret that in years to come.
Micheal Booth
Why? She will be a Doctor saving lives! What's to regret about that?

Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out she was a ladyboy, so therefore couldn't have the sort of sex the highest bidder was hoping to get? I doubt they will even end up having sex, just go on a date or something.
Valerie Wood
hope she gets her money before. It would be a bit awful if the check bounced after the deed was done i
Dave Harrison
Val. If the cheque bounced she would no doubt squeal r a p e

Perhaps your starting offer is too high - maybe you need to lower your price?
Brian Quinn
I e-mailed her stating I only had five pounds to spare and she replied that was OK as she had change.
