Of the 20 or so women who work at the Kit Kat Ranch, one of Nevada's legal brothels, Katherine Stone is the only virgin.

The 21-year-old has been living there since May, learning the ropes and entertaining “clients” — but not for sex. Instead, Stone is auctioning off her virginity to the highest bidder, and says she wants to save herself for someone special.

Bids for her virginity are reportedly at $400,000, she said.

The unusual arrangement was set up so that Stone, who grew up wanting to become a lawyer, could raise money to help her family, she said.

In December 2014, an electrical fire destroyed her family's Seattle home. They lost everything. Worse yet, the house was uninsured. Stone moved in with relatives for about eight months, but the family continued to struggle with bills.

“For a time, my parents were actually living at the burned-down house,” Stone told The Washington Post in a phone interview. “It was really hard to actually get back on your feet after everything.”

Last summer, she said, she came across the story of Natalie Dylan, a woman who reportedly tried to auction her virginity in 2008 to pay for college. Dylan had orchestrated the online auction through Dennis Hof, a Nevada businessman who owns seven brothels in the state.

So Stone looked up Hof, found his email address and sent him a note. Then she waited.

Stone first told her story to reporter Lisa Ling for a widely shared segment on CNN's “This Is Life” that aired last Sunday. “I saw an ad on Facebook and found out all about the brothels, and the money made me think, wow, it’s a chance at, like, fixing all that I really need to fix,” Stone told Ling.

Nevada is the only state in the country in which prostitution is legal, although brothels are allowed to operate only in certain counties. Nevada has 18 legal bordellos.

Hof is fond of saying he owns "40 percent” of those brothels, including Love Ranch, where former NBA player Lamar Odom was found unconscious last year. In a phone interview with The Post, Hof said that he couldn't remember exactly when Stone's email arrived, but that he frequently receives emails from women who make similar requests.

“I get three or four a month, minimum, wanting to sell their virginity,” he said. “So virginity’s a real complicated phenomenon, if you will.”

Not a virgin

[spudigitti]

She's a bit chunky !!

I'm not sure if that's 400k well spent. She looks like a bit of a rock ape. Besides, you could buy a village full of virgins for less than that in Thailand. Ok, some might have balls, but still.

From my personal experience, virgins are overrated. Just because it's tight doesn't mean the sex is good. And there isn't any sex in this world that's worth $400,000 a pop (pun intended.)

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
