Making A Better Choice
Bids for student’s virginity hit $6.7 million. Listen Natalie, you have to sit down and think to yourself, in the long run, whether your morality and your virginity is worth more than money. Yea, your sister might have resorted to selling her body for money, but you have opportunity to go to school, to get a great education, and make something for yourself. If you can’t afford school, you can always take out loans. If you ever want kids, you don’t want to know about how you sold your body for money. In order to make a living, this sets a horrible example for your kids and every other woman who is watching. Basically, you’re saying that it is ok for a young woman to sell their body for money.

The argument that she's setting a bad example really criticizes her sister as well--if her sister hadn't raised money by being a prostitute for three weeks, would this girl be seeling her virginity? This kind of argument comes dangerously close to a "slippery slope" fallacy, but it also makes sense that we feel more freedom to act in certain ways when those close to us have already stepped over the line.
