Sex Doll’s Virginity Sparks Online Bidding War
YNOT – The dating scene in Brazil must be tough.
As promotion for the first international convention of inflatable dolls, which took place March 9-13 in São Paulo, sex shop Sexônico mounted an online auction of Brazil’s first lifelike sex doll. The winning bid at midnight March 31 will have the honor of deflowering Valentina, created by U.S. company RealDoll.
Bidding opened at $5,000. At noon March 14, the high bid stood at $105,100.
Sexônico claims Valentina has state-of-the-art skin that mimics a real woman’s down to the wrinkles when she’s soaking wet.
“She has green eyes, fleshy lips, full breasts and a body that inspires envy in all women,” according to the description on Sexônico’s website.
Because no woman — real or otherwise — should be expected to provide something for nothing, the auction winner also will receive a prize package designed to help him wine and dine the object of his affection before the ultimate conquest. The package includes an all-expenses-paid trip to and from the Brazilian capital, a night in the presidential suite at Hotel Swing, a candlelit dinner with French champagne, a rose-petal-scented bath for two, lingerie for Valentina and a digital camera for capturing the romantic getaway.
Valentina is not the first Brazilian to seek fame and fortune by placing her pristine lady bits on the auction block. In October 2012, an online auction for 20-year-old Catarina Migliorini’s alleged virginity drew a winning bid of $780,000 and sparked international controversy. Migliorini insisted she intended to donate as much as 90 percent of the proceeds to charity, but the auction’s organizer — a first-time Australian filmmaker who engaged in a public spat with at least one of the medical professionals he said were backers of the project — claimed no knowledge of such a plan. Questions remain about whether Migliorini and the auction winner consummated their deal.
Migliorini later parlayed her notoriety into an appearance in Brazilian Playboy.
