"A university student is planning to pay for her degree course by selling her virginity on the internet.
Rosie Reid, 18, decided to auction her virginity on the auction site E-bay in order to avoid graduating with huge debts.

The Bristol University social policy student says she would rather sleep with a stranger than face decades of poverty...."

Hmmm, and hmmmmmmmmm

Decades? Ten years worth of funds? She's hoping...

'why the hell didn't they publish the URL?'

how is this different from what C-Man does?

The U.S. Govt. puts up $1.5 billion for Miss Rosie Reid.

There's no law saying you have to mention Calum on every fucking thread, you know?

from http://www.zazzoom.com/rosie/life.htm

Rosie Reid was the first of our nine grandchildren. This will be a compilation of memories as we watched her grow from the athletic baby you see in the
first pics to the young lady she is today. She never really lost the Tweetie Bird look that endears her to all who meet her. This one is not only
gorgeous. Close to six feet tall, she excelled at such sports as volley ball and basketball throughout college while maintaining the straight A's her
professors came to expect from her.

What we are building here is a photo gallery of her life, from infancy to adulthood. If anyone has any pictures to contribute they will be appreciated.

It'll take some serious game to raise the necessary 30k or whatever it is.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

didn't someone in south america do this last year? and a religious millionaire payed for her tuition to 'preserve' her virginity?(xpost)

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

obviously not the same Rosie Reid.

― The Luge (Horace Mann), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely a stunt like this could get her kicked out of university for bringing the institution into disrepute?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Only if she smokes a J afterwards.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope she gets some ugly, old fart.

― Charles Hatcher (musenheddo), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Answer to tuition fees problem! Students on the game! Yay!

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Way pay her £10,000 when you could just buy her half a lager and pretend to like Suede?

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

that only works during Freshers Week.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Or if you're trying to pull Calum.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

To be fair he preferred cider.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

you're all obsessed with him!

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

do you get your money back if you can later prove that she wasn't a virgin?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

(i meant the girl's virginity can be questionable, obv, not calum's)

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

what's the big deal with virgins anyhow?

― The Luge (Horace Mann), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

They bleed.

― Charles Hatcher (musenheddo), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I hear the Bristol University Pagan Society is putting in a huge bid.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

right. and this somehow makes them valuable?

― The Luge (Horace Mann), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Aren't there laws against prostitution in the UK? Or just against procurement? (Meaning they could prosecute eBay if she sells herself, but they can't prosecute her?)

Of course, I want to know all the prurient details, like is she going to make the guy wear a condom, and is that going to be in the contract if it happens?

― the river fleet, Monday, 26 January 2004 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Her dad says it's all a scam in The Daily Express.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

She should have come to Bournemouth. There are more people willing to pay virgin students for sex than anywhere in the country. Even the football team are called the Cherries.

― MikeyG (MikeyG), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

that's cuz her dad got outbid

Then there's this 'article', which says she's a lesbian and is selling her virginity to women.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

it doesn't say that she's selling it to women, just that she's a lesbian and that she's attracted attention from women.

― The Luge (Horace Mann), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

True. Virginity is way overrated anyway, I don't have time for that sort of thing.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

She's not just a virgin, but a lesbian virgin? Christ, no wonder C-man hasn't been on today, he's masturbated himself raw and can't type.

― the river fleet, Monday, 26 January 2004 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

So when is Stevem going to eBay his hair, anyway?

― the river fleet, Monday, 26 January 2004 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

you spoke too soon k8. :(

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

If a lesbian is the highest bidder, does that count as losing virginity?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

So when is Stevem going to eBay his hair, anyway?

you need to lure him back to university

Student sells virginity on web

I'd wondered how all the spoddy computing students could afford their fancy new computers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― craziness, Monday, 26 January 2004 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

will she take it up the arse if they've paid 10 grand?

― nasty stevem (blueski), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, for ten grand, a shot of tequila and a tube of KY, I'd...

Oh, wait.

"Reid’s girlfriend, Jess Cameron, told the News of the World that she is aggress with her partner’s decision.

"I fully support Rosie just as long as she`s safe. I won`t be there in the room when it happens, but I`ll be nearby.”

Guess not, then...

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

The student from Dulwich, south east London, currently works lengthy hours in order to pay for tuition fess and living accommodation in Bristol.

I can see her doing her eventual Masters thesis on "Prostitution: Entrepreneurship Made Easy". She's blase now, but tis hard for virgins not to get attached to their first partner.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

She's not bad looking anyway...

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

and what's she gonna do NEXT semester?

― The Luge (Horace Mann), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

has she had her rug munched, cause according to anthony, that counts as non virgin.

― anthony, Monday, 26 January 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm slightly uncomfortable with the fetishism of virginity. There's a thin line between that and rape fantasy.
FWIW, I have, as a non-virgin, divested a young lady or two of her cumbersome virginity. Sex is never great when at least one person is very uncomfortable or awkward or embarrassed and especially when she doesn't quite know what she's doing. Do you see?

― Canada Briggs (Canada Briggs), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

"I fully support Rosie just as long as she`s safe. I won`t be there in the room when it happens, but I`ll be nearby.'

I'll bet he is. Linked by a CCTV camera and hidden mic. I've read about those pervertalists. Shocking.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

But he is a SHE! Is she still a pervertalist?

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

but tis hard for virgins not to get attached to their first partner.

???

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

but tis hard for virgins not to get attached to their first partner.

I actually found that quote kind of funny. Sorry, Nichole.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

it's hard to lose your virginity without being attached at some stage of the process

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Those hymens are a bastard to get off your knob.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you for that Dave.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

She's getting interviewed in about twenty minutes on Richard & Judy. Should be leathal.

― Charles Hatcher (musenheddo), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

i think you meant leathery

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Lathery?

― Charles Hatcher (musenheddo), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank god they've kicked out Abi Titmuss. "My boyfriend John will pay you for it..."

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, who watched Richard & Judy? What happened? Where are you all? Down the pub. Sigh.

― the river fleet, Monday, 26 January 2004 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

My (British) coworker has been telling me amusing anecdotes re: the stupidity of Richard & Judy. At the moment, R&J interviewing young Ms. Rosie Reid sounds like the best thing ever!

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Will bung in free massage if you are any good.

I think people are overlooking the free massage.

― Leee Majors (Leee), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

It wasn't as good as it could have been, though Judy's distress was sweet and at the end she said "Well I hope you have a good..." and it sounded like she was about to say 'shag' but didn't.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 09:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Before it came on I was thinking 'This is never actually going to happen - what publicity is this stunt for?'. I guess it was topical for the NOTW, what with the tuition fees vote approaching. But as the interview went on, it seemed to be clear that for her it was a method of shaming her parents into helping her out financially.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 09:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Aaaah!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 09:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Am I the only one who feels a bit uncomfortable with the comments below the pictures in her grandparents' picture book ? Maybe I'm sick... Anyway, this whole thing is a publicity "coup de maitre", I must admit ! (and it's also quite pathetic...)
