After Auctioning Her Virginity, Bid Gets To $801,000 But Did She Go Through With It?

Here is Elizabeth Raine, a 28-year-old medical school student who had enlisted her virginity for sale  on the internet and had received a high bid of $801,000 now says she won't go ahead with her part of the bargain.

'Elizabeth Raine,' writes that she won't fulfill the terms of the auction as she wants to focus on her medical studies instead. She claims she only got involved because she wanted to bring to the open, the damage caused by the society on sexual fixations and obsessions. She said:

'With the blessings of my management and the high bidders, I have decided to put a stop to this kerfuffle (to describe it nicely) and return my focus to my medical training,' Raine wrote, according to Gawker. 'I still do possess some spitefully strong beliefs about virginity, prostitution, and a woman's right to do as she damned pleases, but school is my first priority (as it has been for my entire life).
'I have a busy life. I am picky and guys were never a priority,' she said, 'At this point, I no longer care about the auction, at all. This was a very easy decision.' 'It is no longer about the money,' she wrote recently. 'Instead, very broadly, it is about how society continues to exercise control over female sexuality by chaining it tightly to female morality.

'It is about the fact that we have not left patriarchy in the past (we all know male morality is not judged by the same standard), and that a woman still cannot chose to do with her body what she pleases without eliciting condemnation and hate from those (or some of those) around her.'





Critics say why did she started it in the first place, some said the response might have frightened her but either way, the whole thing just feels strange.
