[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MUMBAI: We have had reality shows about weight loss, about people making candid confessions on camera, about girlfriends and boyfriends trying to test their partners fidelity when tempted, and what have you. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All that seems tame compared to what Justin Sisely, a documentary producer from Melbourne in Australia, is attempting to do. Sisely is gearing up to start filming a reality show in the American state of Nevada in which participants - both female and male - will auction their virginity to the highest bidder. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And nothing seems to be deterring him. A first batch of recruits to the show deserted him midway. He plodded on and has spent the past year hiring new participants. Additionally, when the Australian state of Victoria caned him for proposing to film it there, saying he was encouraging prostitution, he moved the show to Nevada.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sisely says he has got confirmation from at least three young people that they would participate in his programme. A report in the local Australian media said that virgin participants will be paid about 12,000 pounds (Rs 800,000) each, and will also receive 90 per cent of their "sale price", with 10 per cent going to the brothel, which is hosting the event.
The website for show (Fame and Fortune) calls the project an "observational documentary that follows one man and one woman as they seek to auction their first sexual experience. Our camera follows the principle cast of Ben Smith and Veronica Peach as they shed their virginity to a complete stranger in front of a worldwide audience."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sisely's concept combines online bidding followed by an offline auction. Initially, the bids for the participants will be placed online followed by a live auction in which bidders will be able to personally examine the goods for which they are pitching. The offline auction will be filmed. Sisely admitted that parents of the participants had frowned upon his proposal. And he has also received death threats.
One of the participants told a local newspaper that she did think that while technically it was true that she was resorting to prostitution by selling her virginity, in her mind the fact that she would not be doing it regularly, convinced her that she was not being a prostitute. She also said that she wanted to challenge common perceptions related to sex. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It was not clear which channel would be airing the show, at the time of writing, or, if Sisely had got a telecast partner. [/FONT]
