In metro Atlanta, sex sells.

Last week, a local woman, Cidney Green, raked in several thousand dollars when she billed her 27th birthday celebration as a private party for adult swingers.

The event, which takes place this weekend, quickly earned the hashtag #ATLOrgy on social media. It promises an overnight overload of food and sex at a lakefront mansion on four acres with private parking for guests and on-site security.

The cost to join is a pre-paid $99 for single women or $175 for couples and men. The event sold out to a reported 35 guests before Green opened up additional spaces and hinted that prices would increase.

Green, of Marietta, is a phone sex operator and the woman behind the "Total Liberation" blog in which she discussed having multiple boyfriends who all knew about each other. She had initially planned to have the party at a local swingers club, but because of certain restrictions she decided to move it to a private location.

Interest in her event has exceeded her expectations, she said. She is hoping to attract women who resent being sexually repressed or anyone who wants to shed the shame and taboo of sex.

But social media had a different reaction to the event with most people commenting on how the event is likely to contribute to Atlanta's already skyrocketing rates of STD infections and its reputation as a hotbed of the sex economy.
