Mike Itkis, an independent running for Congress in New York's 12th district, generated buzz after posting a censored sex tape in an effort to show his "sex-positive approach."
His campaign platform includes a call to "Make sexual rights explicit -– do NOT rely on privacy or free speech rights."
The US army reserve officer stars alongside adult video star Nicole Sage in a 13-minute video called "Bucket List Bonanza," published to a popular pornography site.
Itkis' website also proclaims he is "Not married. No kids. Not celibate. Atheist." and lists his campaign platforms on sexuality in a less graphic manner, including the legalization of sex work and "to redefine abortion debate as a right to unplanned sex."
