Sextronauts Want Your Help Funding The First Porno Shot In Space
Another day, another attempt to shoot a crowdfunded pornographic film in space for three million dollars. PornHub [NSFW] has created an Indiegogo page to help support their effort to film the first porn in space, the aptly titled SEXPLORATION. The plan is to send actors and, presumably, a camera crew into space where they will film the procreative act.
The plan is a perfect storm of modern tropes: Porn! Space! Crowdfunding! Porn! But it also sounds pretty cool and if they do end up raising over three million dollars I suspect it will be one of the biggest-budget porn shoots in history. Write the creators:
Without great explorers and adventurers, the world as we know it would be a completely different place. Be it by the discovery of new lands or even by way of industrial and cultural innovation, great minds and brave souls have forever changed the way that we see and experience the world. Columbus, Gallileo, Da Vinci, Edison and Ford, among others, have all physically and culturally helped shape the planet that we currently call home. Recently, however, the focus has been shifting over and out to what lies beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Some are contemplating colonizing Mars while others are promising elevators into space by 2050. One way or another, there are many elements about life in space that need careful consideration and research…especially sex. As such, Pornhub is teaming up with top ranking adult studio Digital Playground in joining the ranks of Armstrong and Gagarin by pioneering a one of a kind mission to defy gravity, make history, and push the boundaries of intergalactic “Sexploration” by filming the first ever sextape in space. In doing so, we will not only be changing the face of the adult industry, we will also be chronicling how a core component of human life operates while in orbit.
If the movie doesn’t get funded you’ll get your cash back and, according to PornHub’s researchers, sex in space is possible so the mission won’t be a dud.
The campaign seems to be moving along at quite a clip but I suspect that it might be a tough job trying to get folks to grab a $1 “Certificate of Endorsement” let alone $150,000 pledge that gets you a sextronaut spacesuit complete with used underwear. Furthermore if I worked at NASA I’d be slightly concerned. As Elon Musk knows, the future of space exploration now seems to be in the hands of the private sector – in some cases quite literally.
