New Delhi: A 29-year-old New Yorker has become an Internet rage after she launched an Internet search for a man who would help her lose her virginity before her 30th birthday on November 7 this year, The Sunday Times, London, reported.
The woman, Sarah DiMuro, claims she is a virgin.
DiMuro is a slim blonde. She claimed last week to have been a 'complete and utter dork' as a teenager.
“I never thought I’d be approaching my 30th birthday as a virgin who hasn’t found a meaningful connection, but here I am,” she said.
According to the report, DiMuro's search has already been a hot topic for discussion on several television networks.
The search is being sponsored by a leading American women's magazine that has stirred both feminist and conservative rage by inviting its readers to 'help hook her up'.
Critics have dismissed DiMuro as an "attention-seeking wannabe", while others called "her antics as a dire harbinger of future entertainment trends".
"A woman turning 30, who should be entering a new stage of adulthood, is being infantilised for the entertainment of strangers," Sunday Times quoted Dawn Eden, a New York newspaper executive and author of The Thrill of the Chaste , as saying. The book advocates teenage abstinence.
Raised as a Catholic in a well-to-do New England family, DiMuro said she never kissed a boy until she was 23 because she attended an all-female university.
In Manhattan, she lives in a women-only residential hotel. "I never went all the way before because I didn’t feel right,” she said.
"So you think your sex life is frustrating?" the magazine asked readers in its current issue. "Meet Sarah, who’s asked us to help her lose her virginity. Naturally, we’d like to assist if we can."
The magazine encouraged readers to vote for potential candidates who are then selected to go out on dates with DiMuro.
