With the presidential campaign nearing, more endorsements have begun to roll in. 

For President Obama, one endorsement has taken on a whole new tone… and explored some unchartered territory with the younger demographic.

Girls creator and star Lena Dunham is the face of the "Your First Time" video, launched by the Obama campaign, in which she talks about losing her voting virginity using a slew of innuendos.

"Your first time shouldn't be with just anybody," Dunham instructs. "You want to do it with a great guy."

"My first time voting was amazing," she continues. "Before, I was a girl. Now, I'm a woman."

Conservative bloggers have called the film "disgusting" and that the Obama campaign has "sunken to a new low trying to get the youth vote," reported The Atlantic.
