Free Offline Services = Graphic Reality Shows Online
Adding fuel to the estimated 97.06 billion porn industry (of which 2.84 billion is estimated to be online), is Big Sister with a fascinating revenue model that merges online and offline. This Prague brothel is providing, what can be considered the last word in graphic reality television - customers at the Prague brother have the option to indulge in the services for free, provided they let their exploits be filmed and shown online for a fee.
Reportedly, since 2005, more than 15,000 men have taken up the offer of free sex in return for 15 minutes, or less, of fame, according to the brothel.
Visitors to the virtual brothel pay 29.95 euros ($43.88) for a one-month subscription and get access to a menu listed by position, preference and number of people. Big Sister also produces cable TV shows that air on Sky Italia and the U.K.’s Television X, as well as DVDs.
“Our goal is to attract as many people as possible to catch the first reality sex TV,” marketing manager Carl Borowitz (Carlos), told Bloomberg. “This is National Geographic for adults. Everyone’s curious to watch their neighbor.”
The model is so successful that Big Sister is now planning a foray into the United States
