Maitresse Madeline, Dominatrix, Auctions One-On-One Webcam Session For $42,000

That's one way to blow a wad... of cash.

An Australian man will pay $42,000 for an exclusive, one-hour webcam session with Maitresse Madeline, fetish model, performer and porn director at Kink.com. That's the highest amount ever paid for a webcam show, according to the company's publicist.

According to Gawker, the dominatrix isn't sharing details about what kind of show a chunk of change like that can buy, but she did vow to give him "the best, most high-end cam experience of his life."

The two-week auction of the hourlong session sought to promote her new femdom site, Divine Bitches, in which "submissive male slaves submit to female domination at the hands of legendary domme Maitresse Madeline and her gang of skilled and ruthless dominatrices," endure the "ultimate humiliation of becoming a panty-boy, pony boy or dog boy," and "do not cum without permission."

Perhaps that sounds like great fun. Perhaps not. Either way, it appears that whatever floats your boat, you'll soon be able to get exactly the kind of porn you want on the Internet. Live and interactive porn are the wave of the future -- but be prepared to pay for it.

“Customers’ connections to the Internet are improving and many want a closer connection to the performer,” Peter Acworth, Kink's founder and CEO, told Salon. “One-to-one shows are very expensive, but some are willing to pay surprisingly large sums of money to get exactly what they want.”

The webcam industry is said to be worth between $1.5 and $2.5 billion per year.
