Did you see that an enterprising Australian producer is putting together a TV show where people can sell their virginity? This is why I’m not rich, I never think of things like this. No, dumb old me, just like you, gave it away for free.
Now I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who are morally outraged by this whole thing. They’ll toss around all these words like debauched, disgusting and perverted, but you know I’m thinking it might not be such a bad thing.
Virginity is one of those weird things. It’s good to a point and then it becomes a problem. Heck they even made a movie about it. The 40 Year Old Virgin was an object of derision and the goal was to correct the problem asap. There’s even a term for it–virginity shaming. It’s opposite is slut-shaming, a phrase I only heard last week and have just been waiting for the opportunity to write about.
To clarify–slut shaming is when you have too many sexual partners and/or behave in a slutty way. The label is usually bandied about by other women. I’m not sure how many sexual partners constitutes too many. I guess that’s for the slut-shamer to decide. However virginity shaming is when you have had no sexual partners, have reached an age when nearly all of your peers have (let’s hope they haven’t had too many because then they would be sluts according to the theory) and everyone thinks you are a bit odd.
So who are the virginity shamers who are going to make an appearance on the doco. Well there’s Sydney waitress Veronica who will be getting an upfront fee of $20000 and 90% of whatever her virginity raises at auction. There’s also John and Alex. Alex is looking for someone special while John’s already swinging both ways. They’re getting paid as well. I predict big things for John.
They’ve had to move this over to the US to film because if it’s done in Australia it’s classified as prostitution. So at the end of the day it’s all about the money. Because I am a bit of a maths nerd I’ve decided to present this as some mathematical equations to see if I’m thinking correctly. So
- Virginity – sex = virgin
- Money + sex = prostitute
- Sex + sex + sex – virginity = slut
- Money + virginity + sex = prostitute
Weird isn’t it. Your options are virgin, prostitute, slut. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Might as well make some cash on the side.
Anyway for any of you out there are wishing you’d have made a more economically sound decision re your virginity, there is hope. Because you can get a revirgination operation. Apparently they can stitch your hymen back together. Jeanette Yarborough gave that gift to her husband on their 17th wedding anniversary. I’m stunned. Did those 17 years count for nothing. Abracadabra Jeanette’s a virgin again. I think that’s much much stranger than selling your virginity. Image
