Here’s A Trailer For ‘The Sex Factor’, The Reality TV/Porn Hybrid We’ve All Been Waiting For
In other news, the apocalypse is scheduled for next Friday.
The Mayans had their calendars. The Egyptians had their pyramids. The Romans had their aqueducts. Our civilisation, though, had no lasting legacy, no defining achievement that would echo through the ages…until now.
We’ve all thought about it at some point — on the train, on the treadmill, in the middle of a particularly boring dinner party. You ask yourself: why haven’t they figured out a way to combine porn and reality tv?
Well, The Sex Factor has finally solved that conundrum. Yesterday Uproxx shared a trailer for the new show, and it’s pretty much what you’d imagine, although maybe a little more wholesome than you might expect. Eight men and eight women compete for $1 million, a career in the porn industry, and a chance to do a scene with Belle Knox, who is pretty much the female Liam Neeson of porn, apparently.
It’ll be interesting to see how they handle the ‘talent showcase’ aspect of the show. On The X Factor, people sing and such, which is obviously something that you can do on television. Will Sex Factor contestants get freaky? Will they simulate getting freaky? Will they get freaky off camera? How will any of this actually function in a televisual sense? Why are you all still reading?
Dig the wacky antics below.
