OffBeatr functions like most crowdfunding sites -- creatives pitch their ideas, those interest pitch in a couple bucks with gift-based incentives, and the project is successfully funded when the money raised reaches the idea's goal amount.

But instead of funding an ice cream shop, an artist project, or the production of a record by a local band, all money raised on Offbeatr goes toward "sexier" projects.

Tao told TechCrunch the project was born out of a serious lack of porn-funding resources/ Kickstarter and IndieGoGo don't support "adult" projects -- that, and it's probably harder to make eye contact while passing around a cash basket to fund your sleazy ideas.
