    She sold it online for $20,000

    A teenager who sold her virginity online for $20,000 has revealed the details of her tryst with the winning bidder.

    Alina Percea, 18, auctioned her virginity on a website so that she could afford to pay for her computing degree. The winner of the auction was a 45-year-old Italian businessman but she had no qualms about going through with the deal.

    The businessman from Bologna paid for her to fly to Venice where the couple toured the sights before spending a night in a luxury hotel.

    Alina, who underwent two medical examinations to prove her virginity, said: ‘I liked the man and got on with him well. He didn't look 45, and he seemed much younger. We spoke in English as I can't speak Italian and he can't speak Romanian.

    He paid me a lot of compliments throughout the day, and he was very funny and charming. We got on very well, and I was pleased he'd won. He told me he had a good job, but he didn't say if he was married or had a family, and I didn't ask him.’

    She was inspired to auction herself on a German erotic website after reading how American woman Natalie Dylan, 22, from San Diego, had put her virginity up for sale for $5million.

    ‘At the arrivals lounge, a man came over, smiled, handed me a box of chocolates and said: 'Welcome to Venice.' He looked much younger than 45, short, but nicely dressed, with dark hair, green eyes and a kind smile’, Alina revealed.

    The two went sightseeing, then to a five-star hotel where they had unprotected sex. ‘We kissed, then undressed each other,' she said. ‘I'd never done that before, so I was nervous. He laid me on the bed and started kissing my body, then we had sex. I was attracted to him, so I enjoyed it, even though it was quite painful.

    ‘We only had sex once, then fell asleep. Next morning, we had breakfast together like any other couple, and I took the morning-after pill. He told me he'd like to see me again, and I agreed.’
