Men And Women Selling Their Virginity For Documentary The virginity auction was dreamed up by filmmaker Justin Sisely for a documentary about the process of the virginity auction and the emotions experienced by the participants throughout. Sisely said that the film's objective is to, "create a discourse that questions the repressive religious, political and social mechanisms that limit the ways that we can understand and act upon our individual sexual natures." Traditionally, I've been taught that virginity is a symbol of purity, a special gift to be given to a marriage partner, and a prize that the marriage partner has a right to. It's amazing that a woman's virginity is worth $780,000.00.........I would think that it was PRICELESS!
