Ever watched your fave episodes of Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica and been like, "Hmmm, great hustle, guys, but def needs more porn"? Now that PornHub is crowdfunding the first porn in space, you don't have to dig through the abyss of the internet to find questionable amateur tentacle fan fiction anymore! You can get your intergalactic freak on with the click of a button. But if this is going to happen, guys, it all depends on us. The fate of space porn rests on our earthly shoulders. Are you willing to do what it takes?
Pornhub says that they can make this happen, if they raise a a cool $3.4 million dollars. So the next time you're standing in line at Starbucks, just think to yourself: Is it really worth spending my last $5 here? Or should I really be contributing this to some hot mess alien sex for the better of mankind (sort of)? Because if we all band together and senselessly spend our hard-earned money on this, we can get E.T. doing a lot more than phoning home, if you know what I mean. (Burn my brain. I'm done. Help.)
Here is what Pornhub wrote about their plans on their Indiegogo page:
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.
With some help from our generous fan base and extended community, we can all make this happen. Our work is definitely cut out for us. 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.
They're NOT KIDDING, guys. They've even made a whole video about it.
They've even got the performers picked out, if this whole thing comes to fruition. Eva Lovia and Johnny Sins are all decked out in their space stuff and ready to go. I'm sure NASA would approve.
So yeah, guys, there's that. We may have cut off funding for space exploration in a big way, but space sexploration? Apparently doesn't count.
One small step for porn. One giant facepalm for the human race.
