Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, will be attending EXXXOTICA, North America’s largest adult event series, with the support of sponsor Fansly. Pineapple Support will have a presence at all EXXXOTICA shows each year, offering vital on-site mental health support and a welcoming space for adult creators and exhibitors.
At each event, Pineapple Support will host a signing booth on the show floor, where attendees can meet creators, learn more about the organization’s services, and access immediate emotional support. Licensed therapist Dr. Tess Kilwein will be available throughout the events to provide on-site mental health support to performers, creators, and exhibitors. Anyone seeking assistance during the show is encouraged to speak with a member of the EXXXOTICA team or visit the Pineapple Support booth directly.
“We’re so excited to continue to support the sex work community with our new partnership with Pineapple Support!” says Leah Koons, Director of Marketing at Fansly. “Fansly prides itself on being creator-focused, so a sponsorship of key support for the creators from Pineapple makes perfect sense.”
Pineapple Support was founded by British performer Leya Tanit in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has connected over 16,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support.
“These shows can be emotionally intense for many performers,” says Tanit. “Thanks to Fansly, we’re able to provide a space where people can pause, be heard, and get access to professional mental health care. This partnership is an example of what happens when platforms truly put creators first.”
