This young Russian woman has tried to auction her virginity for a starting bid of 45,000 GBP before later admitting that she first had sex a long time ago and now cannot get her post deleted.
Victoria, 21, from the city of Magnitogorsk in the western Russian region of Chelyabinsk Oblast, told local newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda that she posted the advert on the ‘Cinderella Escorts’ website several months ago.
In the video-ad, the pretty netizen said: “My name is Victoria, I’m 21 years old. I want to sell my virginity to live the way I want, to be happy, to travel, develop and open my own business, and of course help my family.”

Local newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda said the woman set a starting price of 50,000 EUR (45,500 GBP) and was willing to stop when she received an offer that suited her needs.
After accepting the offer, Victoria planned to meet the bidder in Germany to sign the necessary papers ahead of spending the night in a local hotel.
In addition, Victoria was also reportedly looking for a sponsor to pay her 10,000 EUR (9,090 GBP) a month.

Victoria told Komsomolskaya Pravda that she posted the video advert as a prank and never expected it to go viral.
She said: “Unfortunately, it all happened and got out of hand. I tried to delete my profile a long time ago. I wrote to the agency, I have screenshots of all the messages, but my profile has still not been deleted.
“In fact, this information is incorrect and I don’t want anything like that. I have suffered so much because of this joke, but all my relatives know what it was for.”

Central European News (CEN) contacted Victoria for comment, but she said that she did not want to talk about it. However, she confirmed that she actually lost her virginity “a long time ago”.
Victoria’s ex-classmate Alexey told Komsomolskaya Pravda: “She always wanted to be a Russian teacher and she started studying at a local university, but switched to remote learning.
“I was shocked when I heard that she was trying to sell her virginity, but it is her life and she gets to choose what to do with it.”

Victoria’s video advert still appears on the Cinderella Escorts website in the ‘virginity for sale’ section giving the impression she is still available for bids.
