How holiday hotspot became ‘Silicon Valley of porn’…where your rental ‘may well’ have been used in a sex shoot

BREAKING the silence in an innocuous-looking city apartment is the sound of a hard-working couple in the throes of passion. A loud “cut” is shouted and everything stops as camera equipment is pulled away, and the actors separate from each other. The man lying on the bed is allowed to breathe loudly for a bit while the virtual reality camera positioned in front of his face is switched off.

Welcome to the hidden, booming sex industry in Prague, Czech Republic - which is best known for its stag do visitors but is fast becoming known as the Silicon Valley of the pornography industry. The European hotspot has long been a favourite for Brits enjoying boozy weekend breaks, but in the very same holiday rentals booked out by tourists, a very different scene is playing out behind closed doors.

British porn actor Jonny Oblong, 38, jokes: "People may well find they've rented a flat where porn has been filmed. "It's not a case of if someone will meet a porn actor here, it's when.". The former English and PE teacher has moved to the city for a job in the adult entertainment industry - and he's not the only one.

Americans, Italians and even Budapest actors are jetting in to film with Czech stars, who are the most searched for on tube sites. For while Prague has led the way in the industry since 1993, entrepreneurial directors are increasingly turning to new styles of filming to stay at the cutting-edge forefront.
