A Swedish porn king has said he wants to open a string of swinger hotels where guests can stay for free if they allow their bedroom exploits to be filmed and broadcast on the Internet. Adult entertainment mogul Berth Milton wants to finance at least 100 hotels, each equipped with a resident film crew from his Private Media adult entertainment company.
“The important thing is to go all the way – not halfway or a third of the way,” Milton said in an interview with the New York Post. “Imagine how they were laughing at Steve Jobs and Bill Gates when they came up with their own ideas,” he added.
According to Mr Milton, a single hotel could generate as much as $43.8 million a year from subscribers who would sign up to watch the real-life sex shows from home. After conducting his own “field research” at swingers’ clubs in Barcelona, he is also convinced that the entertainment would appeal to a wide audience.
“It has to be a hotel for non-swingers as well – not super-explicit where everybody’s running around naked. That takes the style and class out of it,” he said.
Also known as Berth Milton Jr, Mr Milton’s father founded Private, the first full-colour hardcore porn magazine, in 1965. Despite vowing never to follow in his dad’s footsteps, Milton Jr took over the family business in 1991 and invested millions in adult movies before losing ground to free Internet porn.
He is currently fighting a legal battle in the U.S. against a creditor which is trying to oust him from the board of the company. He is also standing against allegations that he borrowed more than $10 million from Private Media and has not repaid the funds.
