Virgin Capital

Natalie Dylan, 22, is an average gal from San Diego, California, she is attractive, smart, with good hair and a practical head on her shoulders. She has a Bachelors in Science in Women's Studies from California State University in Sacramento and wants to get a Masters Degree in Family and Marriage Therapy. Natalie is a giver, you know one of those people that wants to make a difference in this world, but like all aspiring counselors she needs money to pay for college. So she is selling, or actually auctioning off, her virginity to the highest bidder? (Yes, I am not joking, see here). Her offer of a one-night stand with her has persuaded 10,000 men to bid.

Miss Dylan is a woman of many ‘ists” as in capitalist, pragmatist and realist. She is not a hooker like Elliot Spitzer's call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupre. She is a capitalist but I don’t think Reagan would be proud or that this falls under His theory of trickle down economics. She states, “We live in a capitalist society. Why shouldn't I be allowed to capitalize on my virginity?" Forget the record number of foreclosures and the escalating rate of unemployment. Here's the best example yet of the current economic climate: Virgin real-estate for sale! Talk about supply side economics!

Natalie Dylan is also a realist, “I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability," Last September, when her auction became public knowledge, she had received bids up to $243,000 but since, it has made it to 3.7 million. So we are not just talking financial stability. We are talking about Her virginity making her a millionaire.

She could be called a moral pragmatist. Nappy Dylan claims no moral qualms about this choice. "I don't have a moral dilemma with it.” Further, Natalie claims a certain will to power in her talk of choice. “My study is completely authentic in that I truly am auctioning my virginity but I am not being sold into this. I'm not being taken advantage of in any way.” The 22-year-old Sacramento State graduate continues, “I'm ready for the controversy... I'm ready to do this.” To accentuate the obvious “glaucoma” of her moral vision, she added her own moral commentary: “It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore.” Sadly, like most of her generation, she knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

The idea came in part from her sister Avia, 23, who paid for her own degree after three weeks of being a prostitute. (And we wonder why giving to the Salvation Army is down??) Some may think that she is not the real deal yet Miss Dylan claims she is as authentic as Donald trump’s toupee. She is even willing to place her clam under medical scrutiny and undergo medical tests for any doubters.

With great irony and profound lack of any moral impulse, she says what must be considered the understatement of the year.

“I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal.”

What is a single Christian guy think of such a girl?

I think first, Valuable, we are to think valuable. In spite of her poor choice and public celebrity over it, she is made in the image of our God and for that she has inherent worth that cannot change, no matter what she does with her sexuality. And, I want to think she wants such a value. Think about how she got to be 22 and still a virgin. Someone in our day does not spend 22 years in “Cal-i-fornication” no less, and not have to fight to keep such a beautiful aspect of her womanhood. So we see below the bills and greed, below the flippant way she talks of her virginity, is a woman that wants to be valued.

Second, compassion, seeing her as an product of modern thinking, we should hurt for her. What is to her empowered womanhood is to me a confused and twisted value system. She claims value in the devaluing of herself as long as she owns the choice. The virgin real-estate of Miss Dylan is the capital she will build the rest of her life on. And one day, she will look back and see that gold rusts and degrees can't make you righteous nor personal choice make you valuable. One day, she will grow to hate the fact that she placed a "for sale" sign on her womanhood, claiming purity to be a commodity. For that day I hurt for her.

Third, jealous, we should be jealous for her, as God is jealous for her. If I had the money I would outbid all the sexual capitalists out there. I would just give her the money and tell her keep her virginity. Where are the Hosea’s of this world that would do such a thing. Where are the Christian men that have the means to be a parable of the gospel?
I know where…

They are at the strip club helping other young ladies pay for community college.

And

In their office bidding for the virgin capital of Natalie Dylan.
