If celebutantes auctioned off their virginity for charity

Fine Art Auction


There are few things that irritate me more than promise rings, where teenage girls and boys wear chastity rings to show off their virginity, making a promise to god and the rest of the world that they won't have sex until they're married.

Sometimes they attend ceremonies where the youngsters take a pledge with their parents that they will abstain from sex. Turning a sexual promise into a family affair is creepy, and seems sort of incestuous in an inexplicable way.

The promise rings are all the rage with the teenage brand of child stars and singers, especially the Disney ones. Why they need to advertise virginity like a new clothing line is completely lost on me, but for some reason it's just as trendy as skinny jeans and hormonal vampires.

If you're going to make a public spectacle of your virginity, why not make one of losing it as well? And at the same time contribute something more to society than a soundtrack detailing your dysfunctional relationship with the Jonas Brothers.

Every now and then a story of some girl auctioning off her virginity becomes public. Why not a charity auction? Miley's virginity could probably feed a small country, or at least a supermodel gone rogue (Tyra).
