Capitalism does not have morals. Capitalism's ideal is to maximize profits. Losing your virginity is a moral question and this woman's plan to auction her virginity brings this situation to full light.
Most of our modern world views capitalism as the end-all-be-all of economic systems, but this woman has now shown us what happens when we base our life decisions on this system. This is but one flaw in capitalism, but one that is incredibly important.
I don't think her actions are to be celebrated as a step forward for breaking through conservative societal values regarding sex. Rather, I think she is showing us how capitalism, as a system of economy has evolved to dictate how human beings will interact with each other.
I think this is a scary prediction of what is to come.
