Down and dirty for a Directioner dream – 15-year old Swedish girl auctions off her virginity to be able to afford going to every One Direction concert for a year
A 15-year old Swedish girl from the town of Orebro has decided to do something rather unconventional in order to fulfil her dream. On the 30th of May, she uploaded an auctioning item on the Swedish auctioning site Barnebys.se - but the highest bidder won’t be going home with a new watch or a nice new bathroom mirror – what the girl is putting up for auction is far more intangible - it so just happens be her virginity.
Like many other young girls who’ve gained worldwide attention, the Swedish girl, who we will call Hilda in this article, has realized that her maidenhood is, for better or for worse, valuable to some, and that auctioning it off to wealthy men can bring in a whole heap of greens. Hilda isn’t just on a mindless quest to become rich, no, according to an interview done in Narkes Allehanda, a local newspaper, she wants to use the money to go on a worldwide One Direction tour, attending every concert that the Irish/English teen idols will perform. We were able to translate what Hilda had to say to the Swedish paper about her decision to sell her body and what One Direction means to her: - You know obviously I know this is going to raise a lot of eyebrows, but hey, I am a feminist and this is my body, I can do whatever the hell I want with it. I have been a One Direction fan ever since I was like 10 years old and there’s nothing I love more than them. I think about One Direction all the time, I dream of One Direction and One Direction is running through my veins always. I’ve had this dream for years of going to every 1D concert in a year and now I’ve finally found a way to finance that dream. I may be labelled a slut or whatever, but seeing Harry and the boys perform outweighs any bad things that can come out of this. I love One Direction and now I’ve found a way to be with them every day for an entire day, I’m not going to let society tell me to pass up that opportunity. I am glad I live in Sweden, we have a very tolerant and accepting society and I’m willing to give away my body to achieve my goals
Before you pick up your pitchforks or give Chris Hansen a call, you should now that the age of consent in Sweden is the ripe age of 15, making having sex with the girl, perfectly legal. And despite the fact that prostitution is strictly illegal in the country, the government has issued an official permit for Hilda to do what she wants to do in this instance. Minister of Education, Gustav Fridolin had this to say about the case in a Swedish radio interview - Generally we don’t take selling of sex lightly, but in this case I believe it’s for a good cause, I mean who are we to foil this young girls dream? We see no reason to arrest her, and besides, I really like One Direction.
The top bid currently is a whopping 1 900 000 Swedish crowns (roughly 225 000 dollars) and was made by a Chinese businessman, but the bidding has only just begun. - There’s no limit to how high I imagine the price can go, says Hilda in the Swedish interview I’d really like to get to a million US dollars because I think that’d be a great milestone and that would go a long way. I have to think about flights, hotels, living expenses and of course the tickets to all the shows – that’s going to cost a whole lot and my mother is coming with me so I need twice as much. I just hope it’ll all be worth it and I really hope that I get to actually meet the guys in private – I think I will as they will recognise me from every show. There are some guys from Dubai who I know are considering placing a bid and apparently they like young blonde girls a lot so I guess I’m in luck.
Hilda’s family is very supportive of her decision. The mother, who’s also an avid One Direction fan, is very open minded about all things sex, and the father, while slightly bothered by it all, stands behind whatever his wife and daughter wants to do. Hilda’s sister, who’s currently 13, is considering doing the same thing when she turns 15.
The bidding is expected to be long and hard, but we will keep you updated on how this crazy tale ends. In the meantime, tweet under #1DVirginity to discuss the story.
