Students auction off their virginity to sugar daddies

DOZENS of British women have resorted to selling or auctioning their virginity on seekingarrangement.com.

The website insists it is not a front for prostitution and discourages “sugar babies” from meeting men on a “pay-per-meet” basis.

Yet a probe found as many as 70 women advertising they were virgins. Many were openly asking men to pay.

One 20-year-old medical student joined last year, saying: “Auction for my virginity... Highest bid before midnight on New Year’s Eve wins.”

A British 18-year-old wrote: “I’m offering a triangle with 2 virgins (me and a good friend of mine). Candidate who offers the biggest amount will get to be our first romance.”

Another 18-year-old stated: “I need money as I am a student. I’m willing to do anything except sexual intercourse… If I was to do that it would come at a very high cost because I am a virgin.”

Since launching in 2006, the site boasts more than 10 million users – two million “sugar daddies” and eight million “sugar babies”, in 139 countries.

Sugar daddies, who pay a monthly fee, reveal details like their net worth.

Sugar babies, who are mostly women and can advertise for free, state their “lifestyle expectation” of how much they would like to receive.

Millionaire founder Brandon Wade, who did not kiss a girl until he was 21, has said: “The idea came when I was a teenager in Singapore, I was very shy.”

SeekingArrangement insists it encourages “real relationships”. Wade claimed his team “kick off dozens of escorts and prostitutes every day”.

The site says the rise of university tuition fees has fuelled the 250,000 UK students signing up by 2016.
