article imageBritish Teen Sells Virginity for £10,000

Eighteen-year-old Carys Copestake needed to cover the cost of her university tuition fees. Her solution was to advertise her virginity for sale on a popular website for prostitutes.
Her ad, placed under a pseudonym, reads: "Virginity For Sale £10,000." Her parents, with whom she still lives with, are oblivious of the manner in which she is funding her university studies.

Baby-faced Carys says she intends to study physics at Salford University. Like many other students, she is struggling with the £20,000 for tuition and residence. Along with her financial predicament, the British teen has also become curious about herself and the opposite sex. Though she had always wanted to keep her first time special and make sure it was with the right guy, she now is at a point in her life where she wanted to explore. For that she needed someone to teach her and Carys thinks selling her virginity is the perfect way to "kill two birds with one stone."

I'm an 18-year-old virgin with student funds to pay and I'm looking to sell my first time right here. I'm brunette, 34C, green eyes, all in proportion and good looking.


Carys met and spoke with a journalist from MaltaStar who had gone under the guise of being an interested respondent to her ad. The teen admitted to him she had received numerous responses to the ad. Apparently there are a lot of men who want to help her with her "problem." Some of the replies she has received are on the creepy side. She explained further:

But I got so frustrated with the empty offers that I turned them down. I have to be careful, you could have been someone I know, even one of my teachers.


Carys admitted the furthest she had ever gone with a guy was holding hands. She did not want to go to university still a virgin. Not knowing the man she was talking to was really a journalist interested in getting some facts for a story, Carys wondered if
he was asking her all these questions because he wanted a discount.

When the reporter asked if she really was a virgin or just a prostitute who was lying about losing her virginity, the teen became indignant. She told him she had no way of proving to him she was a virgin and that he would just have to trust her.

Carys told the reporter she wanted to be paid in cash. She also requested that he wear a condom.

After the reporter left, Carys bombarded him with text messages. When the reporter asked her to lower her price, her mood abruptly changed. She told him:

Why do you want a discount? No, seriously, it's got to be ten, that's what the deal was.


When a publication called The People contacted Carys about selling her virginity, the teen told them:

I've been offered the money in cash and I'm going to do it this Thursday. Sorry I'm at work so I can't speak any more.

    Just wanted to keep my comments separate from the story. I am not one to judge another person's choices. I will say I do not think the young woman has thought this through. Her parents are bound to find out what she has done if they have not already, especially as it has made the news and she provided enough clues as to her real identity. Also, just because she ensures the person she sells her virginity to is not someone she currently knows, it may be someone who she encounters in the near future under highly embarrassing circumstances such as a professor in university.

    Enterprising but I agree it is unlikely that she has thought this through.

    As a professor in a university (OK JC) I don't see the problem unless she wanted a better grade. Besides how many college professors could afford that kind of money for a one night stand with an inexperienced hooker?

    I agree. And unfortunately this is one of those things that you have no idea before hand how much you are going to regret it afterwards.

    I say power to her. It's her body, and she is classified as an adult, so she is in control of what she does. Why all of these people try to help her, I don't know. It's her choice, and people should have no say in it what so ever.

    OK, for starters, how can she possibly sell something that she is not willing to have confirmed? If it was that important to me as a man to pay 10,000 pounds for a virgin piece of ass, I'd damn well want some kind of assurances that I was getting what I paid for.

    OK and just how many of the really creepy are going to come out of the woodwork after this really bright girl (major sarcasm here)
    Seriously just how many decent or caring guys are really going to be the ones to help her with her issue? Yeah I can already see the 'verts lining up.....what the hell is she thinking ...oh I need a new dress let me just play the virgin card again and see what pops up next time ...
    Hummm the only problem I have is trying to figure out who is dumber on this one the (supposed) girl or her next monetary conquest....
    (she posted on a prostitutes website it kinda leads me to think she's a tad bit more of a professional than she's leading people to believe)

    Real Virgins are hard to come by nowadays. Many girls who dance or do gymnastics, even run track, have their hymens break from the strain. If she is one of those girls there would be no way to tell.

    two thoughts:
    1. It is not really a well thought way to loose virginity and although i understand the motivation, it may cause regret in the later future, for making a potentially special moment that unspecial
    2. It is not for us to judge, what she wants to do with her body. Sexuality is too much a taboo subject as it deserves.
    Why is it that shocking?

    I have to agree with Patxxoo. These days, the creeps will come out, in force, and she might not live to pay her tuition if she meets with the wrong man.

    I understand the motivation, and yes it is her body, but more thought should be given before she finalizes the deal.
