So I just received an email from a casting agency looking for virgins for a new documentary for MTV.
At first I thought it was a scam. I mean... really? MTV is interested in the lives of virgins?
So I googled the domain of the dude's email address.
I have two thoughts in regards to this.
1) I like that virginity is being discussed more often in pop culture, especially outside of Purity Culture and outside of the "desperate to lose it" genre.
2) Do I think MTV will manage to pull off a documentary that doesn't exploit its participants?
Uhh...
Reality TV isn't real. A documentary like this will probably not be all that sensitive.
But the decision to participate or not isn't up to me.
It's up to you. You being a virgin who meets the show's requirements.
So I've copied and pasted the relevant info below, just in case you want to be the next Reality TV Star.
No judging here. I would totally win Big Brother if I got on that show.
Also let's not forget that Beau and I are already in an awesome documentary on virginity, How to Lose Your Virginity.
