Pornhub is crowdfunding its bid to shoot a space porno

As the Wikipedia page on the topic notes, sex in space would be difficult at best and incredibly dangerous at worst. None of that however was enough of a deterrent to stop Pornhub, one of the internet’s largest adult content sites, from setting up a crowdfunding campaign to shoot a porno in space.

The Indiegogo campaign, which aims to send actors Eva Lovia and Johnny Sins to space, is looking to raise US$3.4-million.

The campaign doesn’t provide much in the way of details when it comes to logistics (we’re guessing the company knows its audience better than that), although by its own admission, there’s a lot of prep work to be done:

We need to train and outfit our crew, consult with a dedicated team of specialists, purchase custom modified film equipment, and completely fund the use of the shuttle that’ll take us on our journey to space.

What it has done is provide a breakdown of how the money will be spent:

The vast majority, of 60%, of our costs will be absorbed by what goes in to making the flight happen. This includes training and space suits for our crew as well as general space travel. 21% of the funds needed is mostly related to the actual production of the film for things like specially adapted gear as well as the overall general costs affliated with the creation of a high quality sex tape. Because space travel of any kinds comes with its unique risks despite careful planning and every precaution being taken, we also want to pay our talent fairly. The rest will help take care of getting the perks out to our funders, covering our insurance costs and paying Indiegogo their standard 4% fee.

The campaign has so far raised just over US$13 500 in the two days it’s been live. If we were backers, we’d certainly hope the production value on the final product is better than on the promo video:
