We’ve heard of some things being sold but this is one pretty extreme to say the least.

Young student Jasmine flogged her virginity for £1 million ($1,373,249) to travel the world and set up her own business but has fallen for the man who bought her for sex.

The 20-year-old from Paris, France, intended to save her first time having sex for marriage, until discovering Cinderella Escorts. Like you do.

Despite coming from a religious family, she opted to sell her first coital experience to cover family expenses, travel the world and start her own company. It sounds so simple, doesn’t it?

Her virginity was sold to a ‘smart’ and ‘successful’ older Wall Street Banker, from New York, who pipped a Los Angeles DJ who bid €900,000 (£782,000/$1,073,880) and a real estate mogul from Munich offering €600,000 (£521,000/$715,462).

It’s alright for some, we’re still struggling to find a willing participant to buy us a gin and tonic followed by cheesy chips after a night out.

The Parisian who was listed as having brown hair and eyes, natural breasts and no tattoos or piercings, has said she doesn’t regret the experience.

She even added that the pair intend to date, suggesting that their romantic spark could see them travelling the world together.

Jasmine said: “Most people would exchange a million for their first time if they could turn back time.

“I am happy that I sold my virginity and I met the client already.

“I was a bit nervous to be honest but finally I really liked him. He was a real gentleman and looked after me well.

“I don’t want to go into details but what I can say is that we are going to date each other again.

“It is too early to talk about love yet. We like each other, and we’ll see what will happen in the future.

“I am happy that I was lucky with the man who bought my virginity. He is smart, successful and I like older men. Maybe we will travel the world together.”

Jasmine has not hidden the transaction from friends or family members, who she says agree with the reasoning behind her decision.

Despite the hopes of having a fairy-tale first-time when she was younger, she is glad to have sold her virginity online.

Jasmine said: “I grew up in a very religious family. My plan was to wait until after the wedding.

“My virginity means a lot to me, but my family and I have a lot of expenses. These expenses include a house, and a car. These are all expensive.

“In addition to this, I would like to have the opportunity to travel around the world and to start my own business.

“That’s why I decided to have my virginity auctioned off through Cinderella Escorts.”

Jasmine believes people selling their virginity has become a worldwide trend and while people could consider cashing in, they shouldn’t rush into the decision.

She said: “It was a long process until Cinderella Escorts accepted me and I was waiting even longer for a buyer. But finally, it was worth it.

“I get the impression that it became a trend for women to sell their virginity.

“On the one side, I think it is a part of emancipation. It should not be a taboo that women can do what they want with their bodies.

“But on the other side, I hope that women don’t make this decision too fast.”

At least she sounds like she may have her head half screwed on.

She continued: “Most of them are right to sell their virginity. Most would otherwise just give their virginity to a man who could break up with them later on.

“But there are also women who find the right person from the beginning and one day will marry him. They should not lose their chance for that romantic love story.

“Now, I am looking forward to travelling the world after starting my own business. I want to be independent.”

Cinderella Escorts says its highest sale made so far was for American Giselle who sold her virginity to a businessman from Abu Dhabi for €2.5 million (£2.1m/$2.8m).

A spokesperson from the company said: “We made headlines worldwide as the world’s most famous escort agency for having celebrities and virgins on our website.”

It may be shocking but each to their own we say.
