Is it just me or does this not seem a natural movement in advertising? And, why has it taken this long?
That’s the power of stigma and misunderstanding. I bet many businesses would greatly benefit from promotion on porn sites. And in a backhanded sort of way, those porn sites would benefit as well.
Why is the idea backhanded? Well, I’m never comfortable with the mainstream legitimizing an already legitimate-but-stigmatized business. Porn should have, long ago, been recognized as a the valuable entertainment that it is. But…if getting mainstream advertisers on reputable porn sites helps the porn cause, well…I’ll take it.
Love the contributions to the article from Cindy Gallop of MakeLoveNotPorn—which recently celebrated it’s first birthday!
