Catarina Migliorini Virgin Auction Morphs Into Reality TV Series

Quote:

Losing your virginity -- a once-in-a-lifetime event -- may soon become a weekly affair.

Australian filmmaker Justin Sisely became a controversial figure last year when he began filming Virgins Wanted, a documentary film project where a man and a woman auction off the rights to first access of their private parts.

It was originally supposed to be a feature-length documentary. Now, Sisely is promoting it as a reality TV series, which is set to debut at MIPCOM, an entertainment trade fair in October in Cannes, France.

"It is now a factual series," Sisely said to The Huffington Post by email. "We have signed a distribution contract with a leading global multi-national distributor of television content."
The worldwide publicity juggernaut surrounding the virgin auction has stroked Sisely's entreprenuerial spirit and he is hoping to create a franchise.

"We are looking into a 'VW 2' due to the large amounts of emails we are still recieving from virgins and potential bidders looking for virgins all over the globe. (At least 50 per week)," he told Huff Post. "We have recieved over 500 videos of men and women from all over the world outlining why they should be the next virgin to auction their virginity."

This will not end well.

Women have been told for centuries to save their "special gift" for the highest bidder - the man who gives her the biggest shiny rock, has the fanciest house, the best job, highest social status, what-have-you. Might as well be honest about it and get money you can actually use from the deal.

So it's like virgin prostitution, basically. Nothing against prostitutes, of course; I don't even think the practice should be illegal. I'm just saying we should call it like it is.

As a virgin myself, I do not approve.

Basically, you have someone else pay you to break ya in. I bet the sex would be lousy... just sayin'.

While I personally see nothing wrong with a virgin adult selling his or her virginity away, why the ******** don't they just call it prostitution?

I hate it when people do what is obviously prostitution, and insist that it's not prostitution. s**t, some housewives are practically prostitutes (not most of them, but only some of them). Gold diggers are unofficial prostitutes. Sugar Babies are basically prostitutes whether they admit it or not. If someone is giving you money or goods in exchange for sex with you, you are a prostitute.

Please keep in mind that I approve of honest prostitution.

I think prostitution needs to be legalized and regulated. Consensual virginity selling can be very very profitable. Some people just have that sort of kink. I've known quite a few men who wanted to ******** me when I was a virgin, and they willingly admitted it was because I was a virgin.

Edit: If I misread the article in some way, please let me know. Did anyone there admit it was prostitution?
