Ebay auction

It's amazing how much it is worth... and to think that some people just give it away.

Once she's done with this she'll be perfectly prepared for a career in either Hollywood, Politics or both.

Damn Japanese billionaires. 

 The wealthy Japanese have already inflated the cost of real estate and impressionist art beyond the point of sustainability. Imagine you are a teenager in Rio trying to get your classmate to put out when this news item hits the streets. If the virginity of this pretty ordinary looking woman is going for this kind of price, every pimply thirteen year old in school is going to expect at least a couple of grand. Although economic fortunes in the BRIC countries are quite  impressive, most Brazilian teenagers can not even begin to get into a bidding war with foreign plutocrats. 

You may think that this does not matter to you, but in a flat world with an integrated market, this clear signal of a burgeoning Brazilian virginity bubble bodes ill for the entire world. If girls who can not even say hand job in English can command this kind of price, imagine how much a teenager in Manhattan will expect. We may see some mitigation of the damage as Chinese and Vietnamese entrepreneurs seize upon this opportunity to flood the market with low cost hymens, and surely there will be some drop in price as the Ukrainians begin pumping out counterfeit virgins, but the days when earnest entreaties and promises of undying love would get you through the introitus are clearly over.  

On the bright side, if inexperienced women hold out for this kind of remuneration in the face of the stagnant and falling income of males in most of the developed world, there will undoubtedly be benefits in terms of the birth rate. But fewer births will result in a decrease in virgin production which could lead to a price spiral that leaves even the wealthy with no one to screw. Conversely, the bubble could burst leaving women in their forties who had preserved and borrowed against their sexual integrity unable to meet their obligations, and facing the threat of foreclosure.

Why didn't I think of that!
