The developer of ourfirsttime.com, the controversial Web site that intends to Webcast a couple purportedly losing its virginity, says the show must go on.

This past weekend, ourfirsttime.com's Web hosting service, Internet Entertainment Group, pulled the site off its service, saying that the site's developers were planning to perpetrate a hoax on the Internet. The man who says he's responsible for Our First Time, Ken Tipton, told ZDTV Monday that the site is not a hoax, and it will be back online as early as Tuesday.

As for the controversy over the site, Tipton called the situation "out of control."

"A movie script couldn't have been written any better," he said. "This is a cyberwar, including cyber jacking and defamation."

Tipton said Our First Time will now be hosted by www.condomania.com, a site run by a chain of condom stores. He said a press conference will be held Tuesday to announce this.

Tipton also said IEG was lying about the event being a hoax. In fact, he said that IEG had not dismissed Our First Time, but that he had dumped IEG after it reneged on the contract by changing where it planned to put an ad to its adult sites.

The date of the event will no longer be Aug. 4, though Tipton declined to give a new Webcast date. He maintained that it will be a free event -- earlier reports said the organizers were going to charge a fee for viewing the site as part of the hoax -- and will promote the idea of so-called "safe" sex.
