Rosie Reid (born 14 November 1985), was a student from the University of Bristol who sold her virginity online in 2004 to the highest bidder.

Reid has claimed that around seven bidders showed interest in her offer with highest bidder, a divorced 44-year old male telephone engineer, paying £8,400 for her 'services.'[2] Of the actual experience she related that, "I felt nervous and scared."[2] For other uses, see Telephone (disambiguation). ...


The newspaper quoted her as saying: "It didn't feel like it was happening to me. I felt like I was watching it happen to someone else. I was just so relieved when it was over... I was desperate to get back as I felt so uncomfortable." The next morning she said she joined her long-time lesbian partner and they "just cried and cried."[2]
