Auctioning Virginity

Posted on December 9, 2010 by scalestosuccess2.com

This is a very sensitive subject I am compelled to write about. On the Maury show today, there was a young lady, who wanted to auction off her virginity to financially support her family. Now, I am not sure how you feel about this but let us go back in time and mentally think of our first experience. However we decide to remember it, we learned much from it.

To think about auctioning ones virginity is just incalculable. Yet, we have shows that will put an idea in a young girls mind of how this is a way out of poverty. We are now limiting our most priceless possession as young women to a dollar amount before we even experience love for the first time.

Now, we must consider what happens to this young lady after the situation has occurred. Will she feel good about her self-esteem? Will her reputation always be tainted as having sold herself to the highest bidder? Will she be able to see a man in her life as more than just a dollar sign? What about virtue?

How many of us gave our virginity away with nothing at all to show for it? Those who were violated, those who never had the chance to auction themselves even if they wanted to, how are they to feel when she reports her millionaire status from her first experience? Is a million even enough?

My heart goes out to anyone who would even consider this situation. As a mother of two girls, I could not open my heart to the idea, whatsoever. It is simply ridiculous how we place a dollar value on morals, values ethics and principles. I am not judging anyone as I am trying to be very careful with my presentation of this article.

Free will has always been a great part of our decision-making. It allows us the opportunity to do what we feel is the best solution in our current situation. However, it is gravely important to realize the risks as well as the will to freely decide. Most will never have to deal with this issue. But some of our young ladies will be confronted with this idea, understanding it’s their final choice. Yet, what would you do if your daughter came to you and suggested a solution out of debt for your family, by auctioning off her virginity, what would you do?

Please feel free to comment through e-mail @ scalestosuccess2@aol.com because this is a matter that I am compelled to take to legislation if need be and may need the backing of those who have seriously been touched by this article. Feel free to give me your strongest points of view. Being just another aspect to young women and what ideas befall them in our society.
