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 entrepreneurial 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 receiving
from virgins and potential bidders looking for virgins all over the globe. (At
least 50 per week),” he told Huff Post. “We have received over 500 videos of
men and women from all over the world outlining why they should be the next
virgin to auction their virginity.”
The
“Virgins Wanted” project has been arousing controversy and skepticism since it
was first announced in May, 2010, but things climaxed in October after it was
revealed that Catarina Migliorini, the female virgin, reportedly received a
winning bid of $780,000 for her virginity from a Japanese man known as “Natsu.”
Migliorini’s
male counterpart, Alex Stepanov, only received a top bid of $3,000. The bid
came from an Australian woman identifying herself as “Kasandra Darlinghurst.”
Since
then, Sisely has kept information about the two close to the vest, but at a
spot on the website marking the days Migliorini remains a virgin, there is now
only this symbol: “—.” No such marker exists for Stepanov.
Medical
experts raised their eyebrows at Sisely’s claim that there were tests that
could prove whether someone is a virgin.
