Porn advertising (photos)

Pornhub has already picked 10 businesses that don’t deal in sex, including Bed-Stuy tea shop Brooklyn Tea and El Florista, a flower seller in Madrid, according to the contest’s website. While other porn companies are eligible to apply, Price said an internal panel of Pornhub marketing, sales and advertising executives will choose the other winners with an eye toward “originality and diversity of business and location.”

With references to the length of time the images are shown for, the effects “lighting” and “framing” have on the ad, statements about featured body parts being relevant to the product being advertised, and an announcement that “most members of the community would not find the level of nudity in the advertisement confronting or inappropriate in the context of advertising a mesh bodysuit”, the Community Panel gave the green light to this public display of porn-themed imagery to an all-age, non-consenting audience.

The idea of sex sells has been embraced by marketers and advertisers a long time ago. Porn sites actually don’t need advertising, yet, Pornhub tries to sell porn to the public discourse.

Following the criticism, Unilever and Kraft representative both responded to media inquities with promises to cut out ads on adult sites. According to , Kraft Heinz has pledged not to advertise or promote any of its brands on this site or other similar sites. A Unilever spokesperson told that the company does not support advertising on porn websites and is “extremely concerned” about the reported ads from Dollar Shave Club.

An advertising placement company has apologised to the Queensland government for running taxpayer-funded ads on a porn website featuring nude images of male models and prominent Australian actors.
