Pornhub launches campaign to fund first sex tape in space

Pornhub, an online destination for adult entertainment, announced Wednesday it has officially launched an Indiegogo campaign to crowdfund the first ever sex tape in space. The "Sexploration" campaign, which will run through the next 30 days, is looking to raise $3.4 million to fund the maiden voyage set for takeoff in late 2016.

Pornhub is giving its loyal fans the opportunity to be a part of this historic undertaking by providing a way for them to have their own say in how the entire film is put together via campaign contributions. Each donation will in turn be rewarded on a tiered prize level basis depending on the amount of each offering, with the higher tiers reflecting a greater amount of contributor control over production. The campaign's proceeds will go directly towards securing key components, such as the cost of shuttle seating for the crew and performers, as well as state-of-the-art video equipment to broadcast the iconic moment. Conversely, Pornhub will absorb all of the pre- and post-production costs, as well as expenses for promoting, releasing and celebrating the launch of the film.

"This will be a grand experiment in learning how intercourse works after penetrating the Earth's atmosphere," said Corey Price, vice president, Pornhub.

Additional information on the campaign, including the full list of prizes, can be found on the Indiegogo landing page.
