Quote:
Young, ambitious Seth Warshavsky is the Bob Guccione of the 1990s.
Seth Warshavsky has seen the future, and it works. Especially for him: at 24, the fresh-faced entrepreneur with the Beaver Cleaver grin heads an online empire that he expects will gross US$20 million in 1997 - its second year of existence. Despite its innocuous-sounding name, his Internet Entertainment Group Inc. is an empire of sex - of virtual vulvas and clickable dildos and strippers on live video, all directed from a steel-and-glass office tower high above the downtown Seattle waterfront. "Sex sells," he confided recently in a husky, world-weary voice that could have come from a man three times his age. "If widgets sold as good as sex, I'd be selling widgets - but, unfortunately, they don't."
