Pineapple Support: A Lifeline for Cam Models and Sex Workers
The world of adult entertainment is an exciting and fast-paced industry, full of creative and hardworking individuals. Whether you’re a cam model, content creator, or performer, you’re not just running a business—you’re managing a brand, engaging with an audience, and often, navigating a world that doesn’t always understand or respect the work you do.
At CamBunny, we know this all too well. We’re a platform that connects models with audiences worldwide, providing opportunities for performers to thrive in a digital space. But we also understand the challenges that come with it—stigma, mental health struggles, and the pressures of the job. That’s why we want to take a moment to shine a light on a truly incredible organization: Pineapple Support.
What is Pineapple Support?
Pineapple Support is a nonprofit that offers free and low-cost mental health services to adult industry professionals. Founded in 2018 by Leya Tanit, the organization was born out of a desperate need for accessible mental health resources for sex workers and performers. In an industry where stigma often prevents people from seeking help, Pineapple Support has stepped up to provide professional, understanding, and judgment-free therapy and support groups.
The name “Pineapple” was chosen because it is commonly used as a safeword in the BDSM community, symbolizing the organization’s role as a safeguard for performers. Since its launch, Pineapple Support has grown into an essential mental health resource, working with over 100 licensed therapists across the globe, all of whom are sex-positive and kink-aware. Their services range from one-on-one counseling to support groups addressing everything from anxiety and depression to substance abuse and PTSD.
Why Mental Health Support is Essential for Cam Models & Sex Workers
The adult industry is rewarding, but it also comes with unique challenges that can impact mental well-being:
- Stigma & Judgment – Society often looks down on sex workers, leading to feelings of isolation.
- Online Harassment & Trolling – Many cam models face online bullying and doxxing.
- Work-Life Balance – The pressure to always be available and maintain an audience can be exhausting.
- Financial Instability – Fluctuations in income can create stress and anxiety.
- Burnout & Emotional Labor – Constantly entertaining and engaging with fans can take a toll.
Having a support system like Pineapple Support in place ensures that models and performers have a safe space to turn to when they need help coping with these challenges.
CamBunny’s Commitment to Pineapple Support
At CamBunny, we are passionate about ensuring the well-being of the models who make this industry what it is. While we currently operate on margins that don’t yet allow for financial contributions, we recognize the incredible work Pineapple Support does. That’s why we want to make a pledge:
As soon as we reach a financial threshold where contributing is viable, we will donate to Pineapple Support to help ensure their services remain available for cam models and sex workers in need.
We believe that mental health support should never be a privilege—it should be a basic right. We want to be part of the change that ensures performers have access to the care and help they need, free from stigma or shame.
