(Newser) – The 22-year-old woman who is auctioning her virginity says she's received some 10,000 bids topping $3.7 million, the Telegraph reports. The offers range the “graphically sexual” to “polite requests from rich businessmen,” says the girl, who goes by “Natalie Dylan” in the auction. “I am shocked by how far this has gone,” she added.

“I didn't expect so many people to bid for me, or for the amounts to be so high,” Dylan said. "It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore.”
