Far be if from me to deny my use of PornHub. But I can’t say that I have ever uploaded a video. I mean, I don’t even want to see myself naked in the shower.
Then you have people in the public eye. Most of them run away from any affiliation with a sex tapes, including the famous Tommy Lee and Pamela Lee video. (well, Pamela ran away from it, Tommy just didn’t want to talk…until they got lots of $$$ to make a mini-series about it).
Before I go any farther, this is NOT a political rant for or against a person or an issue. This is just the facts, ma’am. (I will make one comment about politics in general at the end)
Politicians are especially sensitive to these things. If you go back a few decades, even, former POTUS candidate, Gary Hart was caught on a boat, owned by Don Henley (he later responded with the song “Dirty Laundry”), with a woman who wasn’t his wife. Even though there wasn’t any sex (that we saw), there was some romantic stuff happening. That event sunk his candidacy.
So, let’s fast forward to 2022. WOW have things changed! New York has a candidate for the Senate, Mike Itkis who intentionally released a sex tape on PornHub TO PROMOTE HIS CAMPAIGN. He says it is to promote sex-positivity. Talk about embracing the issues.
I think this may be the first time a candidate has leaked a sex tape with the hope of it helping his campaign. https://t.co/tZYy35LOvI

I think we both know it was for free publicity. Well, it has worked…though, I will say that I have no intention of watching this thing….not because the porn star, Nichole Sage, isn’t hot, you know that the video has to focus on him and his manhood and less on her for 13 minutes.
If this guy is looking for Top of Mind Awareness, he got it. He gets an A+ for originality, a A+ for publicity, but a D…well, because Nichole Sage isn’t the focus.
I won’t hate on this guy, not that his candidacy has anything to do with me or Nebraska, it does make me praise him for laying it all out there (no pun intended, though, that was funny IMHO). If more politicians told us about how flawed they were, maybe we could trust them more.
