New York, NY–Frequent visitors to the adult entertainment website Pornhub may be surprised to find bee porn as they launch the “Beesexual” campaign to help save the dwindling bee population. Under the newly launched “Beesexual” channel, users can peruse “bee porn” or short videos of foraging bees featuring voiceover cameos by well-known adult entertainment stars. As part of the campaign, Pornhub will be donating to notable bee-saving organizations Operation Honey Bee and The Center for Honeybee Research.
It was recently reported that more than 700 North American beespecies are headed toward extinction. This alarming trend has only increased at breakneck speed over the past couple of years as species are precipitously declining due to habitat loss and increased pesticide use. This poses a serious threat to global agriculture as pollinators help sustain agricultural production. In fact, it has been estimated that over $235 billion worth of annual food production relies heavily on the contribution of bees.
“Bees play amajor part in making our food. The most important thing that bees do is pollinate. Pollination is needed for plants to reproduce, and so many plants depend on bees as pollinators.Unfortunatelyhowever, bees are facing a precarious situation and struggling for survival,” said Corey Price, VP, Pornhub. “With over 110 million daily visitors, we thought our users could come together to lend a helping hand and help conserve this precious species. It’s our duty to ensure bees continue to fornicate and pollinate.”
Videos in Pornhub’s “Beesexual” channel will feature voiceover cameos by famous adult entertainment stars, including Julia Ann, Daya Knight, Olivia Austin, Joanna Angel, Dante Colle, Domino Presley, Will Pounder, Avery Black and Charlotte Stokely. The campaign is led by an informational video featuring Abella Danger and Kira Noir, who help deepen our understanding of the current bee crisis and share key tips on how to help.
Pornhub has partnered with French advertising agency BETCon the creation of the Beesexual campaign. Creative Director David Martin Angelus said, “Without bees helping plants get it on, the world as we know it wouldn’t exist. Their sex LITERALLY saves humanity. If you ask me that makes for porn worth watching.”
“It means the world to us to be able to work with BETC and Pornhub to help spread bee awareness and share common goals in this effort. This aligns with our ultimate desire to help be a part of something truly amazing,” said John Baxter, Founder of Operation Honey Bee. “We understand something of this magnitude doesn’t come often, and we realize how important it is for everyone involved. We will do our part to the best of our ability to work together with many institutions to make this as big and as great as we all think it will be.”
