selling virginity; what is that? i don't think i'd want to that. should wait 'till they fall in love then losing their virginity will be more special than selling it to someone who only wants to enjoy.

I heard about her on the radio, and I heard that she is trying to get her master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. As a student in MFT myself, don't you think your future clients are going to know who you are? Many of them will remember this and there are many ethical issues along with this? Are you in a program that supports this act and are already in a program? I think there are just many implications that she has not thought about with her future.

I don't agree with Natalie's decision to sell her viginity. It prostitution ! At the same time I'm not judging her, I'm just disagreeing with her motives. She seems like an educated, beautiful woman. When she says that she believes that what she's doing is empowering to woman is a little lobsided. This goes to show how patriarcal our society is. Not as many men in general would think of prostituting to make money. I also think Brooke from the Bunny Ranch is hating on Natalie. No matter what anyone says, it's Natalie's decision at the end of the day.

Virginity is a God-given, priceless, sacred gift you can never get back! Natalie, if to you your virginity has no real value, then a physical, emotional, spiritual bond between you and another has no real value. Imagine finding the love of your life and the esteem he would have for you if you were... purely and wholly his alone. Make the right decision and don't go through with this.

AGHHHHH!!! shell regret it later on...

Wow Tyra,i was shocked with these girls! To still be a virgin is something sacred,why would you auction it off after all these years you've kept it?! I'm not here to judge anyone. Yes, everyone thinks differently about a certain situation. But all I want to say is for those who are still virgins,cherish it & keep it sacred. Losing your virginity should be with the one person you truly love,maybe marriage. What these girls are doing is 100% unexceptable to me,to the society itself! Don't be encouraged by these girls,it's really rediculous! But Tyra always finds ways to deal with issue like these so I give Tyra props.

I dont know this woman nor do I pretend to, but the fact is that you are judged by your actions, and this particular action is disgusting. I am an adult virgin by choice, and to know that right now she is the face of virgins in America (whether she wants to be or not, she is) is embarrasing. I dont care whether she wants to be a role modle or not, when she put herself in the public eye she became one. I shutter to think at the message that young girls took from this episode. I really hope that she changed her mind. Your virginity is too important and special to treat it as something that has price tag. This woman is beautiful and intelligent and it makes me sad that she has chosen to do this. I am not trying to tear her down, but when our mothers and grandmothers were "burning thier bras" and fighting for womens rights and equality, I am pretty sure this is not what they had in mind.

Genie, You misunderstand. I have nothing against Tyra Banks personally. I am only reacting to her behavior on this particular day. I also have the benefit of being much much older than you and remember when women had to fight for the rights they enjoy now. As I said, this wouldn't be my decision, I lost my virginity on my wedding night and that was my choice. Just as this is this woman's choice. NOBODY has the right to stand in judgement of her, That is between her and her GOD. I truly felt sorry for her and like it or not, Ms.Banks behavior was, in my opinion, without concsience today and hope she's realises that she is a roll model. Someone who should teach compassion. not ridicule. I'm glad you have somebody you look up to and I applaud you for standing up for her. That's what sisterhood is all about. We can disagree, but we should still stand together. I aplogise if my words hurt you, but is the place to post opinions.

Laurie I am so glad you feel the same way as I do! I felt Tyra was being completely biased and way immature as well as the audience. I cant believe that tyra allowed the audience to bash lee in such a way that would shows how she can treat any one guest on her show! That was completely appalling. Tyra continued to interrupt the guests when they were trying to make a valid point regarding their rationals on the topic. However when Tyra had an opinion no one interrupted her; that is completely rude. This matter is completely subjective and any one's opinion is irrelevant. It is Natalie's life and her choice; who are we to judge. I dont ridicule one for their choice in religion. We shoud not judge natalie for her choice; if we did it is termed predjudism! I am willing to bet almost all of the women in the audience has made an immoral decision in their life...with that you are all hipocrites..ALL of you for judging Natalie. She is educated, pretty, and articulate more than any of the girls opposing her. And yes I agree with you Natalie...those that are less educated are missing the political view and notion behind this case study. But then again you cant blame them for choosing not to have higher then a 12th grade education!

I THINK THAT TYRA IS OUT OF LINE. SHE IS ALL CAUGHT UP IN THE WHOLE TALK SHOW THING. CUTIN PEOPLE OFF SO THEY CANT GET THERE POINT ACCROSS, SO THAT SHE CAN LOOK GOOD. AND FOR HER TO LET PEOPLE TALK ABOUT LEE LIKE THAT, IS JUST WRONG. SHE DONT KNOW WHAT KINDA PERSON HE IS. HE COULD HAVE BEEN VERY HURT BY THE THINGS THAT WAS SAID ABOUT HIM FOR NO REASON. SHE HAS NO REGARD FOR ANYONES FEELINGS AS LONG AS SHE IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT. TYPICAL TALK SHOW HOST.

Whether you agree with it or not, what is up with the blond prostitute with the short hair? She's a TOTAL hypocrite. She thinks what shes doing is so much better. When to be honest, they both have no self worth or pride. She's so annoying with all her petty jabs at Natalie. She's so immature trying to put her down with dumb remarks under her breath. She's just jealous because this girl will get paid more than she would in a whole year. She's total competition. Not only because she much more beautiful, but because she's not stuck at the Bunny Ranch after this.

Thomas, Tyra is trying to keep this girl from making a mistake. If you don't agree with what she has to say don't watch her show. And by the way, the Rock Your Ugly campaign is trying to get girls to not only look at themselves as pretty, but to see beauty in everyone else as well, and it is a wonderful idea!!

Laurie, I don't know who you think you are to write to Tyra and say the things you said. Tyra Banks is an upstanding citizen and a great role-model to me and other girls my age. I may be only 17 but i know what you said is wrong and I pity you for not seeing the kind person that Tyra is.

Again, Tyra is being Tyra. As with the recent "Mothers in Adult Industries", she shows her one-sided and judgemental attitudes looking down her nose at Natalie for wanting to do what she wants with her own body. While I realize Tyra is attempting to empower the women of America, it's the naive, uninformed and blowhardy way she does it. Also, with the recent "Rock Your Ugly", it's easy for Tyra to tell people this for one hour when she herself doesn't have to live with it every day. Why do I watch? Why do you slow down for a fender bender...?

I have never written to anybody about anything brfore, but when I watched your show on 7/1/09 I was absolutely appaled at the behavior of Tyra Banks and her immature ausdience. Was there anybody in that audience that had more than a 12th grade education or was that just the emotionally maturity of you and your audience?. You all acted like a bunch of highschool girls that have nothing in do with your dull little lives but to attack someone you deem beneath you? Something you don't understand, so you ridicule, belittle and look down yor noses at it because it helps you sleep better at night. Isn't that the definition of prejudice??? GOD forbid we should together as sistes and support each other NOOOOOOO, it's easier to tear each other down. And did anyone ever think about how cutting your remarks were about "Lee". And how much he was hurt? Tyra, did you even BOTHER to look at the show before it aired? What kind of a person are you? I may not want to have sex with Lee, but I certainly wouldn't call him a loser! He was brave enough to submit himself to all of that ridicule and remained more civil than that gaggle of "hysterical girls". i hope someday all of YOU are pubicly judged and ridiculed for the choices you have made in your life! In case you're wondering, I am not a prostitue. I have very happily married to the same man for 30 years.And althoughI wouldn't choose to lose my virginity in that manner...What I'd like to know is "WHO ARE ANY OF YOU WHO SAT IN THAT AUDIENCE TO JUDGE ANY BODY!!! ARE YOUR LIVES SO PRISTINE THAT THEY COULD WITHSTAND PUBLIC SCRUTINY? YOU HYPOCRITES! TODAY I WAS ASHAMED TO BE CALLED
