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.

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. We’ve projected that the overall cost of this pioneering endeavor will run us about $3.4 million. By supporting us through the purchase of one (or several!) of our amazing perks, you have the opportunity to be a part of the most epic sex adventure ever caught on tape, causing lives to change, mouths to drop, and boundaries to be broken.

Dear Pornhub supporters,

I want to offer my heartfelt gratitude to every one of you for your help – whether it was via the many generous donations, or simply spreading the word – during our ‘Sexploration’ campaign. From the beginning of this initiative we set out to pioneer a one-of-a-kind mission to defy gravity, make history, and push the boundaries of intergalactic sexuality. Over the course of the campaign we received thousands of contributions from fans and supporters across the world, a testament to the close-knit Pornhub community. We wouldn’t have been able to get as far as we did without the fans.

In an industry dominated by billionaires, supporters of the adult industry came together to show its collective strength and help propel the campaign toward making global headlines and sparking a multi-national debate about the scientific and technological variables associated with our endeavor. We feel that the campaign’s overall exposure and presence across online conversations showed a general desire to see us succeed. If this was a campaign of public approval – then I’d say we indeed came out on top.

I’d also like to give a special thanks to Porndoe and Models.xxx for their significant donations, which helped us reach the $50K, $100K, and $200K milestones respectively. All donations, regardless of amount, will be fully refunded. While this phase of our effort concludes today, August 9, we remain steadfast in our quest to film the first sex tape in space. As technology continues to evolve, so too will our resourcefulness to continue to push the boundaries of sexual exploration.

Sincerely,

Corey Price

Vice President, Pornhub

Eva Lovia is the name on the tip of everyone's tongue these days. Not only is she a total knockout, but Eva's also been making big waves in the industry lately, after being crowned the winner of DP Star 2015 Competition, and signing to Digital Playground. With the perfect balance of enthusiasm, curiosity, and star power, we couldn't be more stoked to be taking off with the one and only, Eva Lovia. 

Johnny Sins has over 8 years of adult industry experience as well as a very impressive appendage under his belt. One look at his exclusive website (johnnyandkissa.com) shows that if there’s anyone who can perfectly blend a love for porn, a lust for adventure and strong sense of professionalism, it’s Johnny. We’re incredibly lucky to have this industry legend on board with us!

Where is the $3.4 million dollars going? 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. 

Can’t afford to pitch in right now? We get it; we run a free porn site, after all. If you still feel strongly about helping our Sexploration happen, there are a bunch of different ways that you can help us out without making a dent in your wallet.

Spread the Word

Talk is cheap! Actually, it’s free. Share links to our campaign page on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or even bring up our project next time that you’re among friends. There is no better first date ice breaker or family dinner talking point than the Pornhub Space Program.

Stalk us on Social Media

Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for regular status reports! We’ll also be posting updates on our progress right here on our campaign page so be sure to check back regularly.

Watch Free Porn

When you spend some time on the greatest site in the world (the one and only Pornhub.com) it helps us make money to better fund other aspects of the project like promoting and marketing the film. Encourage your friends to do the same!

Why is Pornhub crowdsourcing to make this happen? Can’t you just make the video yourselves?

With a project of these intergalactic proportions it is important to us that our members have a say in how it all goes down. Pornhub is all about community, which our huge and dedicated fan base knows to be true. For this same reason, it only makes sense that we involve our members on this journey of Sexploration.

Are minors allowed to participate in any way?

No. Pornhub is a product intended for adults only, same goes for our Indiegogo campaign. We do not authorize the purchasing of perks by anyone under the age of 18.

Who is going to be filming the video?

We have contracted top adult video studio Digital Playground to shoot and produce the video for us. You may know them from their hit films Pirates and Apocalypse X.

When will perks be delivered?

The perks will be shipped during the 2 weeks following the release of the Sexploration. Delivery time will vary according to location and packages will be fully trackable. 

When will the perks that include a sneak peek be delivered?

An access code will be emailed to the address provided 48 hours prior to the official release

Is shipping included in the price of the perk?

Yes.

How will funders be kept informed during and after the campaign?

Regular updates will be made both on our IndieGoGo page as well as on the Pornhub Twitter feed.

When will the movie be made?

That depends on your generosity! Following the end of our campaign, our crew will receive 6 months of rigorous training before they’re able to be launched into space. Once trained and certified, our team members will be entering space via a consumer space shuttle.

When will it be released?

We expect Sexplorations to launch late 2016.

If the project doesn’t reach its funding goal, do I get my money back?

Yes! We opted for fixed funding for this exact reason.

How does one have sex in anti-gravity?

That's what we're hoping to find out, but yes, it is physically possible according to our research.

Why are you doing this? 

For the love of science and sex.

Has this ever been attempted before? 

No! Please help us make history.

How did you choose the sextronauts? Will they be trained?

We chose Eva Lovia and Johnny Sins because they are professional, fun to work with and up for the challenge. They will be thoroughly trained before the mission is executed.

Have another question? Post on the Indiegogo comment thread above. For media inquiries please e-mail us at media@pornhub.com – we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
