An Australian filmmaker wanted to challenge how we view sexuality in our society by auctioning off the virginity of two young adults. Aja Romano reported on the initiative:

• The bid for the virginity of the 20 year old female was old for almost a million dollars.
• In contrast the 21 year old male had a bid price of just $3,000. (Don’t feel too bad for him – he’s guaranteed at least $20,000, just for participating).
• To certify his virginity all the male had to do was have two family members state that they believed he had yet to have sex with anybody.
• The female, on the other hand, will have her body exhaustively examined by doctors to guarantee that she is a virgin.
• Sex, for the winning bidder, is defined as the penis entering the vagina. No kissing is allowed.
• To evade anti-prostitution laws, the actual sex act itself will take place on an aircraft.
