Can the ‘Dirtiest Porn Ever’ help clean up our filthy beaches?

It’s an interesting mix. Porn and pollution. But this raunchy new campaign could be the answer to what’s killing some of our best beaches.

Can the ‘Dirtiest Porn Ever’ help clean up our filthy beaches?

Consider the newest offering from Pornhub to be triple-A dirty.

The site is offering a flick featuring hot amateur couple Leolulu getting frisky on a beach that is loaded with plastic trash. Jumping on the eco bandwagon, Pornhub will mark each viewing with a donation to Ocean Polymers — a non-profit organisation working on sending a ship to sea that will pick up and recycle plastic from the world’s waters — and spread awareness about a pressing environmental issue.

While flicks in the site’s “Dirtiest Porn Ever” campaign might appeal to a narrow slice of fetishists, the larger point being made is that a trashy background can put a damper on our trashiest (in a good way) viewing. On screen, the couple’s pornographic acting gets obscured by detritus until a clean-up crew — dressed in hazmat-style suits adorned with Pornhub Cares logos — tidies the beach.

‘We’re dirty here at Pornhub but that doesn’t mean our beaches need to be.’
‘We’re dirty here at Pornhub but that doesn’t mean our beaches need to be.’

Then, of course, we get to watch the pair in all of their naked, lascivious glory.

Corey Price, vice-president of Pornhub, tells LADbible, “We’re dirty here at Pornhub but that doesn’t mean our beaches need to be.” Mr Price cited some 11.5 million tonnes of plastic in the ocean’s depths and a situation that may eventually result in garbage outnumbering fish in the deep blue.

Although the campaign is a little offbeat for an organisation that leans toward the serious, Heather Wigglesworth, executive director of Ocean Polymers, sounds happy to be in bed with the porn peddlers.

“It is a very effective platform to raise awareness and support for the crisis we face in our oceans today,” she says.

The timing certainly seems right, with multi-coloured plastic raining down like “confetti” on the pristine Rocky Mountains, suggesting human-generated trash has made its way to our country’s remotest corners.

Tiny plastic shards, beads and fibres were found in about 90 per cent of rainwater collected at various locations in Colorado, including the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park, according to a new study from the US Geological Survey.

Pornhub is fighting the proliferation of plastic.

And if Pornhub can help fight the proliferation of plastic, Ms Wigglesworth is all for it.

“This a brand with significant global reach, spanning all demographics,” she says, not getting into the fact that 75 per cent of Pornhub viewers are male and 30 per cent are between the ages of 18 and 24. Psychology Today, however, speculates the number might include minors who visit Pornhub and claim to be 18 or older.
