Yes, young women are now auctioning off their virginity. It is actually a legal trade.
There are now accredited websites, Facebook groups and pages as well as YouTube channels dedicated to the trade.
We take a look at some of the women who have made money from something which others consider a priceless asset:
Graciela Yataco
Responsible for her mother's medical bills and having to support her younger sibling, 18 year-old Graciela Yataco sold her virginity for $1.3million in 2005.
A 24 year-old Cathy Cobblerson sold her virginity for a whooping $100 000 on eBay; the ad was subsequently taken down.
It is not clear whether she found a buyer or not.
Natalie Dylan
Desperate to graduate, 22 year-old Natalie Dylan auctioned and received an astounding $3.7million bid for her virginity.
Raffaella Fico
A year after exiting Big Brother Italy in 2008, a 20 year-old model put up her virginity on auction for $1.8million.
She claimed to have never had a boyfriend and was in need of a house.
Catarina Migliorini
Natsu from Japan outbid his rivals to secure a 20 year-old Brazilian Catarin Migliorini's virginity when he offered $780 000 in 2012.
She said that she was not a prostitute but that she was selling her virginity for a good cause as she wanted to build houses for the poor. Her campaign was titled "Virgins Wanted".
A lot of people were up in arms in 2014 when a Limpopo based man offered R100 000 for women who were able to retain their virginity.
He said that he wanted to do this as a way to stop teenage pregnancy as well as the spread of HIV/AIDS.
ANC Women's League has since called for 'prostitution' to be legalised altogether.
Women's League treasurer Hlengiwe Mkhize was quoted in 2012 saying “To decriminalise it, that is where we are going. When the new bill is debated, people must understand it is not about women wanting to expose themselves. It is not about approving the behaviour; it is about how else women can position themselves.” Sowetanlive
