A SYDNEY waitress is selling her virginity, with final bidders facing off in a live auction.
In a new low in reality-TV, the debauched deal is the brainchild of a filmmaker who plans to turn it into a documentary.
Justin Sisely has spent more than a year recruiting male and female virgins willing to auction themselves on camera. However, Sisely faces being charged with prostitution if he goes ahead with the deal on Australian soil.
Speaking for the first time since selecting his subjects, Sisely yesterday said he now planned a face-to-face auction in the US state of Nevada - home to "sin city" Las Vegas - with bidders in the same room as those auctioning off their virginity.
Sisely will pay each virgin $20,000 and they will also receive 90 per cent of the sale price, with the remaining 10 per cent going to the Nevada brothel where the auction will be held. Bids will be placed online before the final auction.
The Melbourne filmmaker said virgins previously selected had left the project and he was forced to find others willing to sell themselves. He was in Sydney last year holding "auditions" with posters calling for "Virgins Wanted" over an image of the Virgin Mary.
"The hardest part is telling the parents, they hate me," said Sisely, who confirmed he had moved the sale to the US after receiving a warning letter from the Victorian Government.
The Sydney 21-year-old, who uses the pseudonym Veronica, told of her parents' fury when she revealed her plan to sell herself. She said she signed up to the controversial project to earn money and to change perceptions about sex.
"Technically I'm selling my virginity for money, technically that would be classified as prostitution, but it's not going to be a regular thing, so in my head I can justify that I'm not going to be a prostitute," she said.
One of the male virgins, known as Alex, 20, said he had applied as a way of meeting someone. Another candidate, known as Ronan, said he was sick of waiting for the right girl and would consider any offers.
A third candidate, known as John, said he was willing to have sex with a male or female bidder.
"Money is a good incentive but I'm really more excited about the journey I'm about to go on," he said.
The project has infuriated family advocates, with Family First Senator Steve Fielding branding it "absurd, ridiculous and disgusting".
And if someone “wins” the bid, utilizes the services of the one time prostitute and then claims she wasn’t a virgin I wonder how ugly the law suit is going to be.
Even if this Australian auctions virginity in person in Nevada, isn’t that “sex tourism” for which he could or should still be prosecuted in Australia or beheaded in Iran?
Or is there any reason that “sex tourism” only applies to children or that you have to be a national citizen in order to be subject to a global philosophy?
Or should you be uncomfortable that every jurisdiction becomes a universal jurisdiction and what is illegal anywhere is illegal everywhere unless you never come back to be prosecuted?

What about the Mann act?
Gag me. This is stupid.
The Hu-man act?
Can I screw you for 20,000 large?"
"Allright!"
"How about for 50 bucks?"
"No way, who do you think I am?"
We already established that. We're just haggling the price now."
Fast and fun at the start but doesn't end well, so I'm told.
What can I get for 20 bux?
Liberalism defined by a liberal.
“One of the male virgins, known as Alex, 20, said he had applied as a way of meeting someone.”
I can see an opening bid in the negative numbers coming.
Moooooooo.
Great. Lose your virginity and get a case of the clap, all in one 10 minute lurid episode.
Some experiences are just unforgettable.
From the article:
A third candidate, known as John, said he was willing to have sex with a male or female bidder.
“Money is a good incentive but I’m really more excited about the journey I’m about to go on,” he said.
Since when did sex (or perv sex) become a journey?
The best spin that could be put on this is a nice vacation funded with a little side business.
These young people are just that young and dumb about the gift they have.
I know about being a dummy.
I left the Cathlic faith in my teens and it took years to come home.
I did allot of Dumb things as a Cosmopolitan Player Player.
And how can the verify a mans virginity?
Does he get auctioned to the highest bidder regardless of the bidders sex (male or female)?
Stupid kids think they are doing something sexually liberating?
Ho Boy are they going screw up big time.
I went to the link.
Nice Blasphemy there as the Creep producing this is using the Virgin Marys’ pic as part of his advertizing.
I wonder what other “projects” he has done.
This Sisely guy claims to be an Atheist and so puting a penis on the forhead of the Virgen Mary is fictionl to him just as God is.
He is called a producer but a quick google on him and I could not find any other project he has produced.
