virginity sales:Catarina Migliorini May Not Be Able To Prove Virginity, Experts Say (NSFW)

Catarina Migliorini
Catarina Migliorini, a 20-year-old Brazilian woman, has auctioned off her virginity for more than three-quarters of a million dollars, and bidders were told her virginity can be medically verified. But experts contacted by The Huffington Post say this is not possible.
A man named "Natsu" won the online auction -- which was sponsored by an Australia-based website -- and now has exclusive rights to deflower the self-proclaimed virgin.

The bidding war that took place at VirginsWanted.com.au created an Internet hoopla, especially after Migliorini said she would give as much as 90 percent of her fee to a charity that builds homes in her native country of Brazil.
Auction organizer Justin Sisely, an Australian filmmaker, is making a documentary about the project, which also included a male self-proclaimed virgin, Alex Stepanov, whose bid to lose his virginity netted $3,000. Sisely said that Migliorini has agreed to submit to a series of tests to prove she is indeed a virgin.
As the website states:
The female virgin will undergo a medical examination by an accredited gynecologist and provide the winning bidder with medical evidence of her virginity. The virgin must provide a document from the gynecologist that certifies her claim to virginity. The accompanying medical certificate will be a statutory declaration that supports her claim to virginity.
The website states that "there can be no medical examination to prove the male's virginity."
Sisely told HuffPosts that there are tests that can prove whether a woman is a virgin. But experts say it's nearly impossible for Migliorini -- or any woman -- to prove whether or not she is actually a virgin.
Bat Sheva Marcus, a licensed master social worker with a master's in public health and a self-proclaimed "sexual dysfunction specialist" who works as clinical director of the Medical Center for Female Sexuality in New York, said there is "no way unequivocally" to conduct the type of test that Sisely suggests.
"The hymen is the usual way to determine virginity, but hymens come in all shapes and sizes," said Marcus, who also earned a doctorate of philosophy in human sexuality from the Institute of Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, with a dissertation on women and vibrator use.
Dr. Elizabeth Lyster, a board-certified gynecologist in Foster City, Calif., with 20 years clinical experience, agreed, saying that the use of an intact hymen to measure virginity is not foolproof, since it can be ruptured from activities like running or inserting a tampon.
"It causes a lot of problems in religious circles," Lyster said.
