Teenager tries to trade virginity for iPhone

Replace 'Dairylea' with 'iPhone' and the cheese-spread's slogan would be an accurate insight into the current state of youthful consumerism: kids will literally do anything for Apple kit. According to Chinese news site Biznewschina, a teenage girl has offered her virginity in exchange for an iPhone 4. The report, which we …

"It took me several years to find someone I could give mine to for free. What is the world coming to?" - Very good sir!

Teenagers eh?...

...she just couldn't wait for the iPhone 5 to come out.

[Captain TickTock]

RE: Teenagers eh?...

She should have joined the Silver Ring Tone Thing movement...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Ring_Thing

It's important to wait for the right smartphone to come along.

Now she'll be comparing her current phone, to all her previous phones, and other phones she could have. She'll never be happy with her current phone now...

oh, hang on...

Girl using sex for financial reward

Wow, like that's never happened before.

[Anonymous Coward]

Well...

As everyone will attest, your first time is always the worst ( anyone who disagrees is a complete liar! ) so you might as well come away with something worthwhile to mark the occasion!

[Anonymous Coward]

I dunno

My first time was bad, certainly, but I've had worse a few times since I got married.

AC for obvious reasons...my spouse DOES read El Reg on occasion.

Android

Well, it wouldn't be an Android phone, would it? Android users have no interest (or likelihood) in losing their virginity...

[Anonymous Coward]

How very dare you !

I'm an android owner and I've lost my viginity !!

(it isn't strictly compulsory to have someone else present is it ?)

Thank goodness for motorola defy waterproofiness !

[The Indomitable Gall]

It's not lack of interest...

It's not lack of interest, it's just that the Android GUI stops them being able to check the "man" page....

[corrodedmonkee]

i suspect

I suspect "man sex" would bring up something else entirely.

"give mine to for free"

Caleb - a male name. Might have some bearing on your experience.

I've had this converstaion with friends several times.

If a woman/girl, even one challenged in the looks department, walked into a bar and said "Take me, take me now", then people would be killed in the stampede. If a bloke did the same (unless it was in a gay bar), people might die, but only because they were laughing their heads off!

[Anonymous Coward]

Snurk

that is all.

[kissingthecarpet]

Depends on the man

I went to school with a bloke who was very very attractive to women. I'd walk through somewhere like a shopping centre with him & you could see them all drooling. He told me he found it "irritating" the cunt.

[Anonymous Coward]

That is why

there are very many 40+ year old male virgins, but you will never find a 20+ year old female virgin. The apparent discrepancy is accounted for by those guys that can get laid, get laid many times by many different women. This is true of just about any mammalian species - only the alpha bulls get to mate.

How I met your mother

A friend in Devon met their other half by her walking into a bar, stating to the room that she was horny and who wants to go outside and ... well fornicate in a more colloquial term. They are still together 3 years later and have a baby; I guess sometimes you have to try lots of versions of something until you find what you like and she was just going about it pragmatically...

[Captain TickTock]

RE: How I met your mother

I guess 3 years is a lifetime to some

[Andrew the Invertebrate]

Never mind being called Caleb

Being called Cox and not being able to give it away??

That's how I like my irony.

[theJML]

eh?

I hear the first time's not that great anyway. Might as well get that out of the way and get a new phone out of it. After all, some societies pay people to deflower their girls.

She's going to be annoyed when she realizes she also needs to pay for a data plan.

[Anonymous Coward]

I thought the first time was the absolute best

but, when you make your second call, you realise it's just a not particularly good phone?

[Anonymous Coward]

RE: eh?

"She's going to be annoyed when she realizes she also needs to pay for a data plan."

That's what the other side is for.

[Hardcastle the ancient]

Oh please!

This story is in bad enough taste.

But you go and post it in "Reg Hardware"!

well done.

[Anonymous Coward]

Not to mention...

... that normally we get pics of the hardware.

[Anonymous Coward]

reference point?

"It took me several years to find someone who I could give mine to for free"

Several years from when? Birth?

[Anonymous Coward]

Well..

She'll end up being screwed by Apple for the rest of time.

[Anonymous Coward]

And that deserves a good....

...badum-tish.

Hey

I'm a 57 year old male. You can have my virginity for a lot less than that! Honest!

[frank ly]

Sits back...

.. and watches the tumbleweed roll by.

[Anonymous Coward]

heh

I couldn't give mine away.

[Alienrat]

Factory fresh?

.. or will it need jailbreaking?

[Anonymous Coward]

What's the problem?

... Seems like a fair trade: an apple for a cherry?

[Anonymous Coward]

But I'd rather have a Cherry than an Apple

We are talking keyboards aren't we?

[Annihilator]

Truly..

.. a one time offer?

I prefer to give an iBone for an iPhone

[Mr Young]

Wrong way round?

I'd like to be a virgin again - can I swap that for an iPhone? Life was so much easier back then...

[b166er]

Android users

aren't blinded by the iFaith and wouldn't demean themselves for a fondleslab.

Anyway, pics! iWould?

[Anonymous Coward]

hmm

Well troughout time women has always been little more than a prodict to exchance for political or economic power. I guess in these modern and enlightened times its only right that women get to sell there own bodies.

[Anonymous Coward]

Inflation is out of control

When I was a teen it would have only cost a six pack :)

[Anonymous Coward]

An iPhone is far more worthwhile...

...because, unlike virginity, it's irreplaceable.

Paris, because... hell, you all know why.

No gurlz on the interwebz

Hey, I'm a teenage girl who will turn 16* next week, and I'm a virgin. Just send me a big stack of money and the place to meet.

It really shouldn't be a crime to relieve the terminally stupid of their surplus money.

*If you're American, amend that to 18. If Spanish, 13, etc.

[LaeMing]

Trouble is,

by the time most women work out this sort of thing is actually a rather good trade, it is far too late.

You gave yours for free?

I got a rash for mine.

9 months...

"She's going to be annoyed when she realizes she also needs to pay for a data plan."

She might get 9 months 'data' or a trojan installed via her backdoor if she's not careful...

Backdoor?

Go back to school, you need to redo the birds and the bees.

Plan B

I insist on COD now. AFTER the missus delivers a healthy male offspring, she gets the new washing machine. 2 washing machines so far.

Much better results than I ever got on the old pre-pay plan with girlfriends.

I was always under the impression that women withheld sex to get what they wanted...
