Bizarrely, there still seem to be men out there willing to spend millions of Rands on auction, to take the virginity of willing women. Why that would appeal to them, we don’t know. But it doesn’t seem to be stopping. Meet ‘Elizabeth Raine.’

That’s the name she’s given herself, as she enters into an online auction, similar to those we’ve seen before.

According to huffpo:

A 27-year-old medical school student who is auctioning off her virginity online is now showing her face five weeks after making her project public.

The student, using the name “Elizabeth Raine” to protect her identity, has been running an online virginity auction since March 31. Bidding ends May 7.

Previously, Raine hid her face in photos and declined to answer questions that might reveal her true identity. She has decided to reveal her face to help attract bids from otherwise skeptical customers.

“I actually didn’t like the anonymity. People mistake it for shame,” she told The Huffington Post. “Plus, there has been some speculation that I’d be outed and I wanted to do it on my own terms.”

The current top bid listed on her website is $300,000, but she said she’s received bids near $550,000 that she’s in the process of confirming.

Why is she doing this, you might ask? Is it for the money?

What has her vibe been with boys up until this point?

Raine cites financial gain as the No. 1 reason for selling her alleged purity, but adventure, eroticism, scandal and the chance to challenge norms about virginity also play into her decision.

“I’ve been planning this for a year and I’ve had a personal transformation because of it,” she said. “I’m more educated about prostitution, virginity and slut-shaming.”

Raine said her mother died when she was 10. Still, as tragic as that was, she dismisses dime store psychologists who want to use this incident to explain why she is a virgin.

“I am not emotionally damaged, broken or shut off as a result of it,” Raine said. “To the contrary, while it was truly devastating and the only difficult experience I have ever been through, my character and outlook on life are much better for it. I have become more compassionate, strong, motivated, and free in spirit. I have learned not to take life too seriously, but also not to take it for granted.”

In the past, Raine said, sex and relationships took a back seat to school and other interests.

“I have a busy life. I am picky and guys were never a priority,” she said. “I had other things going on.”

Her original website is here.

But then she launched this subtly titled blog – Musings of a virgin whore.
