Adult performer Nicole Sage is featured in a "sex tape"-style video posted on Pornhub by third-party New York congressional candidate Mike Itkis. The 13-minute video, described as a "hotel encounter"-style clip, was posted today and has been called "a grunt for attention" by local politics news source City & State New York.

Congressional Candidate's "Sex Positive" Platform

Mike Itkis, a 53-year-old aspiring politician, is a third-party New York congressional candidate for Manhattan’s 12th Congressional District. According to all polls and observers, Itkis has no real chance to unseat Democratic incumbent Rep. Jerry Nadler. His public resume indicates a background in "Army cyber operations."

Itkis stated to City & State New York that he intended the video as a "conversation piece" or "novelty" to highlight his commitment to "sex positivity, legalizing sex work and making sexual rights explicit." He aims to address these issues without solely relying on privacy or free speech rights. Itkis's campaign website indicates he is running on a platform that supports abortion rights, gun control, strong social safety nets, and legalizing sex work, making America more "sex positive." His "Sex Positive Approach" to domestic policy involves actively opposing "the conservative idea that sex should only happen between a man and a woman who are married to each other."

Itkis claimed the Pornhub video marked his "first time having sex on camera" and insisted he is "not an exhibitionist." He described himself as "very much an introvert" and "kind of a nerd who doesn’t like to be the center of attention if I can avoid it." He added that he believed the issues he is trying to address are "so important" and that he "wanted to have my issues talked about in some way." He also told City & State that if he "would just talk about it, it wouldn’t demonstrate my commitment to the issue," and that he "actually did it." The video is titled "Bucket List Bonanza."
