Virginity For Sale at Auction

Evelyn Duenas, 28, is from Ecuador but lives in Valencia, Spain. Evelyn needs money, not just for herself (she wants to go to Med. school) but also for her mother in Ecuador who is suffering from Alzheimer's. That is why she has decided to sell, to the highest bidder, her most precious possession - her virginity - on a Latin American website.

"It's a great sacrifice, but I'm doing it for my mother. I don't think it will solve all my problems, but it will give me some financial stability," Ms Duenas said. "I don't care what people think."

However Evelyn does not come cheap and she has many conditions. She recently turned down an offer of 2,350,000 euros (about $US 3.3 million) because her conditions were not acceptable to the "purchaser". So what are her conditions? See the list below.

• Must have a medical certificate proving good health


• Must use a condom


• One night only


• No kisses or caresses


• She picks the venue (and may bring a trusted friend)

Below is a brief interview with Evelyn which can also be found here.



Evelyn also did a more in depth radio interview in Spain where she explains her motives and talks about her plans, her parents and why she was still a virgin at 28 years old (very strict, religious upbringing.) Listen below (in Spanish only)

However if you are thinking that Evelyn had a unique idea.....no way! Its been done before! At least three times before!

American Natalie Dylan sold hers for US$3.7 million but the deal was never ‘consummated’ after the winning bidder’s wife objected (bitch!). She did burn his $250,000 deposit, though. See more of Natalie here

Raffella Fico, an Italian swimsuit model, had a price of $1.5 million on hers but there is no evidence that she followed through. Currently not a virgin thanks to Ronaldo!!

Romanian, Alina Percea, let hers go (relatively) cheaply; for $13,000 she did follow through and supposedly enjoyed it. Interesting to note here is that going bareback was part of the deal!

Getting back to Evelyn Duenas, there may be some hope for her from an unexpected source - Ecuador.  The government of Ecuador may offer to help Evelyn and her family if she can be persuaded to cancel the auction. They are trying to get in touch with her before making a firm commitment. They may also offer Evelyn a scholarship so she can pursue a medical degree.

Virginity for Sale

In many societies, and especially among Muslims, women are supposed to be virgins until the day they get married. This issue has come to the forefront in a case in France where a groom, on his wedding night, found out that his bride was not a virgin.

Upon discovering the truth he left the bedroom and reported to the wedding guests, who were still partying, that his bride had lied to him about being a virgin. That very night the bride was delivered to her parents' doorstep and the next morning he consulted a lawyer about having the marriage annulled. The court granted him the annulment. This has prompted a furious debate in France, with the government requesting that the case be appealed against the wishes of the couple. For complete details click here.

If the unfortunate bride had only known that a simple 30-minute procedure called a hymenoplasty was available for about $2,900, she may well have saved her marriage and her honor. The procedure has become popular with an increasing number of Muslim women in Europe.

For a 23-year-old French student of Moroccan descent from Montpellier, this procedure represented the key to a new life: the illusion of virginity.

“In my culture, not to be a virgin is to be dirt,” said the student, perched on a hospital bed as she awaited surgery. “Right now, virginity is more important to me than life.”

Hymenoplasty is the restoration of the hymen, the thin vaginal membrane that normally breaks during the first act of intercourse. Gynecologists report that in the past few years, more Muslim women are asking for certificates of virginity. That in turn has created a demand among cosmetic surgeons for hymen replacements, which, if done properly, they say, will not be detected and will produce tell-tale vaginal bleeding on the wedding night.

“If you’re a Muslim woman growing up in more open societies in Europe, you can easily end up having sex before marriage,” said Dr. Hicham Mouallem, who is based in London and performs the operation. “So if you’re looking to marry a Muslim and don’t want to have problems, you’ll try to recapture your virginity.”

Even though the hymen can be ruptured by non-sexual means, an intact hymen is an indicator of virginity in many cultures.

The popularity of hymenoplasty is fueled by the reality of living in a secular society where sex before marriage is not uncommon and the traditional, cultural values that expect a bride to be a virgin. It is a way for young women who have hopes of being married to satisfy their partners and their families expectations. Those who perform the procedure say they are empowering patients by giving them a viable future and preventing them from being abused — or even killed — by their fathers or brothers.

In the case of the 23-year-old French student from Montpellier, she insists that she is still a virgin and discovered her hymen was torn only when she tried to obtain a certificate of virginity to present to her boyfriend and his family. She believes it may have been torn in an accident on a horse when she was 10 years old which caused some bleeding. However, the trauma from realizing that she could not prove her virginity was so intense, she said, that she quietly borrowed money to pay for the procedure.

“Who am I to judge?” asked Dr. Marc Abecassis, who restored the Montpellier student’s hymen. “I have colleagues in the United States whose patients do this as a Valentine’s present to their husbands. What I do is different. This is not for amusement. My patients don’t have a choice if they want to find serenity — and husbands.”

For those who would rather not go through the embarrassment or expense of seeing a plastic surgeon, there is an alternative. There is the "Jade Lady Membrane Man-Made Hymen" manufactured by Wan Li Hong Corporation in China. The contraption, as described on the Portland Mercury website, is:

"Basically a plug filled with powdered glue that seals the vagina in as little as 20 minutes prior to penile insertion. When the powders mix with female secretions, they not only create a puncture barrier, but also discharge a blood-like fluid to convince the most 'jaded' male vaginal conqueror." Since penetration will be painless, users are encouraged to increase the product's efficacy by "accompanying its rupture with the moans and groans that typically accompany the rupture of a real hymen."

What will they think of next!?!? :)
