A California university student who is selling her virginity online says bids have hit US$3.7 million (NZ$6.7 million), media reports say.

Natalie Dylan, a 22-year-old Masters student, said she came up with the idea after her sister paid for her own degree by working as a prostitute for three weeks, according to London's Telegraph.

She said she has had bids from 10,000 men through the website of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a legal brothel in the US state of Nevada.

"I get some men who are obviously looking for a girlfriend but I try and make it clear that this is a one-night-only offer," she told the Telegraph.

"It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore."

Natalie has a degree in Women's Studies and is studying for a masters degree in Family and Marriage Therapy.
