So she's not really doing it for "research" after all.
She's just in it for the money and she's trying to do it in a way that she can convince herself that she's NOT and escort/prostitute.
I don't see anything wrong with this really, aside from her trying to delude herself.
It's better the money goes to her education than something silly like expensive shoes, recreational drugs or a Hummer.
I actually knew of a couple of girls I went to university with that paid for their education by being strippers part time.

What's really painful is that there's an idiot out there who's willing to pay over a million dollars for this woman's virginity.
I've had virgins before and I've had experienced women before. I'll take the experienced woman any day over a virgin.
But neither is worth a million dollars, let alone three million.

Makes me wish I was still a virgin!
...would sure beat the way it actually happened...
let's face it ladies, the first time is not usually the special moment we all pretend it should be.

I'm picturing orange skin and silver hair (mister j)
maybe the "grad student" isn't in it for the money, per se, but for exposing the idea that it's worth so much money to some people. But it is pretty weird that she's doing it through a man/pimp... can't you work as a prostitute in nevada without using a pimp? like a free-lance sex-worker? because part of what i hate about the concept of prostitution is that men who don't actually provide a necessary service (duh, women can own property to start a brothel, their own brothel, where they are the sole beneficiaries of their hard work) profit so much from essentially doing nothing. Especially since it's legal in NV, so you can call the police to protect you from crazy johns and stalkers.

Middle-management or retire and travel the world? Uh... that's a real hard choice.

It's like when you're caught up in a bidding war on ebay, it's never about owning the item as much as it is beating that bitch who's trying to swipe your Chie Mihara shoes at the last second, no matter if you've gone way over your budget.

But 3.8 million is a lot of money. And if she isn't really concerned with her virginity why should I be concerned for her virginity? In college my friend sold a couple of beanie babies for $300 each. Why the fuck would someone pay that much for a tiny stuffed animal?

And since I had a cast iron hymen, so the whole act hurt like hell, I think I got royally cheated. Sheesh. I should sue my sex educators for lost potential earnings.
