A young couple faced with potential danger of divorce after being hit by the economic meltdown, have come up with a rather weird way of helping themselves survive.
Dmitry and Alexandra
A couple have revealed their answer to their country's economic crisis - and it involves them having s*x for up to four hours a day.
Mirror Online reports that Dmitry and Alexandra were unemployed and desperate when they first hit upon the idea of sharing sex tapes for money, but they've found out it's a lucrative business.
And now the Russian couple are advising their fellow countrymen that it's key to surviving the country's financial meltdown.
The pair had only just married when the economic crisis struck, and while Dmitry who is a tattooist struggled to find customers, Alexandra lost her job.
The financial stress meant the pair almost broke up, and while struggling to find work for her, they noted that they could earn good money selling sex tapes.
They now spend three to four hours a day having sex , and uploading the videos online pocketing several thousand a month for their efforts.
And the pair also reckon that the regular s*x has saved their relationship, and they are now closer than ever before.
It seems also that some of the pair's friends in their home in Krasnodar, Russia, are now regular customers, after getting comments from friends that they have spotted their videos on adult websites.
Dmitry apologised to his friends who did not want to come across their video. But he also admitted that both he and his wife saw nothing wrong with what they were doing in the video.
He said: "I am not ashamed of what I am doing. All my friends know about it, so do my colleagues and my parents.
"We are a married couple, so there is nothing special about two married people having s*x."
