Student Alina Percea auctioned off her virginity to the highest bidder on a German website

A teenager who sold her virginity online for £8,800 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.'

Alina left her home town of Caracal, Romania, in January with two cousins, to find work in Mannheim, Germany, but lost her job in a restaurant because her German was too poor.

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 £2.5million.

The Romanian had hoped to raise as much as £50,000 through the controversial sale but still plans to go to university.

'The bidding lasted two weeks,' she told Closer magazine.

'It started off at 90p but within a couple of days it was almost at £4,400.' 

'The winner was a new bidder, who appeared right at the end of the auction. 

'He said he would fly me to Venice to meet him.'

The auction ended at £8,800 (10,000 euros).

'When the auction ended, I emailed the winner, a 45-year-old Italian business man, to congratulate him.'

'I hoped I'd meet a nice man, like in the film Pretty Woman,' Alina says.

'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.'

The two went sightseeing, then to a five-star hotel where they had unprotected sex.

'We kissed, then undressed each other,' Alina says. '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.'

But the money raised from the auction was far less than the amount Alina had hoped to make.

'Ten thousand euros is not so much money, even in Romania,' admitted Alina. 'But it will be enough.

'I hoped I'd be able to have an apartment in town. But now I will live with my parents while I go to university.

The auction was hit by controversy three weeks before its culmination when a teacher at Alina's former school claimed she was not a virgin.

But Alina, who had already undergone a medical examination, was seen by a second doctor, who confirmed at a press conference she'd never had sex.

'I hoped I'd meet a nice man, like in the film Pretty Woman,' Alina said. The final bid of £8,800 was short of the £50,000 she needs to pay for her education, but Alina said the experience was not unpleasant

Alina promised in her auction pitch that she would bring documentation proving she was a virgin, and said she would agree to forgo the use of condoms on the condition the winning bidder provided her with certificates proving he was free from STIs.

The teenager, from Caracal in Olt country, posted an advert on German dating website www.gesext.de, saying: 'I am a 108lbs, 5ft 6in tall, brown-eyed Romanian girl.

'I don't smoke and own a certificate from a gynaecologist which says I'm a virgin. I want my first time to be special and not very abrupt. 

'I want to meet a gentle, respectful and generous man.'

It wasn't just sex that Alina was after either. Although her first concern was to raise money for her education, Alina was open to finding more from the transaction, saying that if she should meet her 'happiness and future, then that would be great too'.

And could it be that Alina has found love after all? 

'I hope to see the man again,' she says. 'And next time I won't make him pay!'
