"A Brazilian student has sold her virginity in an online auction for US$780,000 as part of a documentary organised by an Australian filmmaker, although a man who did the same only fetched US$3,000.
Catarina Migliorini, 20, was the subject of 15 bids, with a Japanese man named only as Natsu winning on Wednesday night, according to the website of the film "Virgins Wanted".
He beat out competition from 14 other men, mostly from Brazil but also from India, Australia and the United States.
A male whose virginity was also auctioned, 21-year-old Sydney student Alex Stepanov, fetched US$3,000, paid by a Brazilian woman.
Australian media said Migliorini would be "delivered" to her buyer on board a plane to Australia and that she would be interviewed before and after losing her virginity at a secret location.

Filmmaker Jason Sisely, who began his project in 2009 and caused outrage when he put posters up in Sydney and Melbourne saying "Virgins Wanted", said Migliorini was ecstatic and had not expected as much such interest.
"The auction closed last night and Catarina is extremely excited. She was speaking to her family in Brazil online and they were extremely happy for her," he told Australian online news site Ninemsn.
"But I guess they didn't expect her to do something like this."
He said the act would be consummated, but not filmed, in the next few weeks.
"We will fly over the winner to Australia and obviously, for the sake of the film and privacy, we can't disclose where and when the act will take place," he said. "I have to leave some details for the documentary."
On a "Virgins Wanted" trailer on YouTube, Migliorini said: "I haven't found the right person to do it with, I've been too busy with other stuff."
She added: "It's more sane than doing it drunk at a party with a stranger."
According to Britain's Daily Mail, Migliorini's decision to sell her virginity to the highest bidder has sparked outrage across the globe, with some claiming she was little more than a prostitute.
But she defended the move.
"I saw this as a business. I have the opportunity to travel, to be part of a movie and get a bonus with it," she was quoted by the Mail as saying.
"If you only do it once in your life then you are not a prostitute, just like if you take one amazing photograph it does not automatically make you a photographer."
She will reportedly use part of the cash to build homes for poverty-stricken families.
Sisely told Ninemsn that under the terms of the auction a condom was compulsory and Natsu must be tested beforehand for any sexually transmitted diseases.
"I'm looking forward to my audience's response to the film," he said.

:o
Hmmm, not sure what to say really... :o. It says they are going to check the winner for sexually transmitted disease etc, but are they going to check as to whether she is a virgin or not? And how would you prove it? It's a mad World :(.
Maybe there is a smidgeon of truth in the once quoted saying that every women is potentially sat on a fortune...
Its not like she will make even more money out of selling her story to the red tops and a whole ream of sh*t b-list celebrity magazines now is it?
How they found a virgin (male or female) in Brazil is beyond me!
Sounds like everyone involved is a consenting adult.
It's perhaps a little unusual in format but other than that, what's the problem?
This woman's getting a far better deal than I suspect most of us did. ;D
It bewilders me that there are still men who go looking for inexperience!

+1
It may be my age, or just possibly my inate sadness, but I can't help thinking - that money would have been better spent on $780,000 worth of figures.
I think she would count as a prostitute even if its only the one time. However she is an adult and if selling her virginity fits in with her morals thats her chioce.
I do wonder how she will feel about it in the future - having had sex for money with this Natsu bloke, who must be a little strange to be interested in this, as I suspect all the bidders were.
Anyway I have to go with FK on the who wants inexperience issue. - shs is hardly likely to be an amazing lay.
Slightly strange morality that thinks "only doing it once" doesn't make you a member of the world's oldest profession - particularly as, if I read this correctly, it's going to be filmed. And the price probably equates to $156,000 a minute. You could probably launch the space-shuttle for that. ;)

On the other hand, she can certainly class herself as an ex-prostitute if it's a one-off (as loss of virginity tends to be).
Re-reading this (for the comical factor... honest!), I was slightly shocked to hear that the winner "beat out the competition..."
The Finbarr Saunders in me can't help thinking - "Isn't that a bit like playing 'soggy biscuit'?"
If I was mad enough to pay $780,000 for a lay I would not be wanting to wear a condom. Its like eating a sweet with the wraper on.
If you google her name, she's a pretty ugly face.
My only question is : Why ?
Money ?
Becoming a 'celebrity' ?.....Sheesh !

Perhaps thats how come she is still a virgin
This rich guy's gonna be pretty annoyed when he finds out the going rate is a couple of drinks and a kebab! Should have come to Boro, only trouble would be finding a virgin.
As to the girl, if she can take the money and do something positive with it, all the best to her. I do have a feeling though that she may up 'acting' in more films further down the line...

I don't think they're filming the 'act', only the before and after of the event.

No offense but she would have to pay ME for the "action" and I would insist on lights off and massive assistance from Halle Berry or similar...
There's no such thing as bad publicity - nudge, nudge, wink, wink. ;)
Miss Berry...Mmmmmmm...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
Oh man! My bid was $775,000... God damn it Natsu, putting a last bid on eBay is a cheap trick!
NAATSUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So your avocating she is ok if you can't see her face?? So its a case of "you don't look at the mantlepiece when your stoking the fire" :d :d
OR Mr Natsu would you like a paper bag for the young lady? ;D ;D
She's probably a lot better than most gamers will ever have :d

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. So perhaps she's considered beautiful in Brazil - or in wherever Mr Natsu comes from?
She is not beautiful in Brasil.
I hardly can believe she would for a Japanese...
Face up against the head board then?
Now this all depends on the age of Mr Natsu. For all we know he's as blind as mole already ;D

Yeah, San, what's that mean? I think I speak for all of us when I say, I wanna see pics of Sans current or most recent other half!
My other half is way nicer than this 780k lass!

Ouch! Vulpine I think you are treading on VERY VERY dangerous ground here.
I post some near the mark stuff but "pimping" your wife !!!!!! X_X X_X Then suggesting you might need change :o :o ARE YOU COMPLETELY MAD.
If your wife sees this I thnk you may find certain parts of your anaotmy nailed to the nearest door, with you entire figure collection shoved "where the sun don't shine"

I dont have those parts of my anatomy any more, I told you, I'm married. As for the model idea, that's probably the best ill of had since the honey moon.
I once pimped her out for an evening and she came back with £30 worth of 20p's. I asked her who gave her all those 20 pence's and she replied, "All of them did!" ;D
