A student who backtracked on plans to auction off her virginity has revealed why she gave up on the idea.
The girl, who gave her name only as Sandy, says a woman benefactor offered her £1,700 to keep it.
Sandy, 21, from Peru, had planned to auction off her virginity on Santiago radio station Radio W to pay for her studies in the Chilean capital.
La Cuarta online reports she rang Radio W presenter El Rumpy and told him the woman's offer was the best offer she got among "millions of emails".
Sandy said: "I got so many emails offering me marriage, houses, cars and money from many countries around the world. But many people were also offering advice and telling me not to go ahead with the plan.
"Then this woman's email came along and she was so nice, she offered me money to pay for my college fees with no strings attached. But once I have a job I will pay her back.
"I apologise to everyone who got involved in this story, but I couldn't go ahead with it. It would be a big mistake. Now I want to save myself for someone I love."
Sandy had promised to provide a doctor's certificate to prove she was a virgin. The opening bid was £350 and radio show said it received thousands of emails.
