Of the harrowing environmental crises we currently face, very few are obvious fodder for pornography (not to discount anyone’s rising-sea-level fetish). The recent dramatic increase in honeybee deaths, however, means fewer of the winged insects are flying around porking plants, and that gave Pornhub an idea for a new genre of fetish content with a conscience.
Last week, the Canadian-headquartered pornography platform launched its BeeSexual channel, which is dedicated to hardcore plant pollination vids set to sexy voiceovers by actual porn stars including Abella Danger, Will Pounder, and Joanna Angel. The 14 videos currently featured on the site—among them “Interracial Gay Pollen Heist Gets Rough” and “Mature Natural Gets Plowed by Worker Bee”—have been viewed more than 886,000 times. And Pornhub is reportedly making a donation to a bee-saving charity each time a video is viewed.
It’s not Pornhub’s first foray into environmental causes. In 2017, the website’s charitable branch, Pornhub Cares, launched an effort to raise awareness for the Giant Panda, a low-libido species that has a decidedly difficult time reproducing. During that month-long “Panda Style” campaign, they donated a penny per video view and $100 per video upload to Panda conservation charities.
Of the most recent effort, VP Corey Price said in a statement published by Adweek, “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 that bees continue to fornicate and pollinate.”
