Some people will do anything to win. In order to advance his 'sex positive' policy, which calls for legalizing prostitution, third-party liberal candidate Mike Itkis—a current major in the US Army Reserve—teamed up with Pornhub and published a video of himself having sex.
Itkis and Nicole Sage, a adult film star, are featured in the 13-minute video. Sage affirms on the video that she gave consent, wasn't under the influence of drugs, and that they had had two STD tests.
Itkis made a statement to City & State, “I’m kind of a nerd who doesn’t like to be the center of attention if I can avoid it. But, I thought the issues I’m trying to address are so important… I wanted to have my issues talked about in some way. If I would just talk about it, it wouldn’t demonstrate my commitment to the issue. And, the fact I actually did it was a huge learning experience, and it actually influenced items on my platform.”
