NEW YORK CITY—Top clip store/adult marketplace ManyVids has announced its latest campaign aimed at challenging the stereotypes surrounding body image, age, sexual identification and orientation that have been perpetuated within the adult industry. #MVFreeTheBody is a body positive underwear campaign that denounces outdated ideals propagated by pornography, by depicting six real sex workers in the campaign. The underwear in the campaign is the brainchild of cam girl turned ManyVids CEO Bella French, who designed the pieces selected for the campaign.
"In 2019, the adult industry landscape is widely different to what it was in 2014 when we launched ManyVids. However, our commitment to redefining beauty, promote sex-positivity, and raise awareness on gender equality in the adult industry hasn't changed," said French. "The women photographed in our campaign celebrate inclusion and diversity. Each has her own unique, brave story and is a true inspiration for women everywhere. These are the true faces and bodies of our erotic fantasies."
Since 2014, ManyVids has made it its mission to promote sex positivity and the fair treatment of sex workers. Today, we are recommitting to sex workers with the #MVFreeTheBody campaign and vow to remain the most inclusive and sex-positive online adult community where sex workers are celebrated for their unique diversity.
"We want to show the world the real beauties that millions of our members truly desire and not the unidimensional beauty standard that has permeated every facet of our media, including pornography, the ultimate platform for the definition of what is appealing," added French. "ManyVids exists as validation that women of every shape, age, sexual identification and size are beautiful. Our platform serves to provide them with a means to shine proudly and embrace who they are—who they really are—without any shame, and the sex workers featured in this campaign are a testament to that fact."
Featured in the #MVFreeTheBody are all real women, real sex workers who agree that there is room for growth in the portrayal of women in porn. Together, those in the #MVFreeTheBody campaign will rise to the occasion and help change the narrative.
The women include Sally D'Angelo, a sexagenarian who hails from the hills of Tennessee and learned early in life how to win people over with what she calls her "Dolly Parton personality"; Gwen Adora, a fiery Canadian plus-size sex blogger and model; Sure Cakes, a sunny webcam model; Goddess Haven, a luxury financial dominatrix and fetish artist; TsBlondieNYC, former phone sex operator and transgender webcam model; and Kay Ottie, a tattooed model from Florida whose athletic interests include scuba diving, playing soccer and practicing Jiu Jitsu.
Those interested may get the MV lingerie/underwear featured in the campaign now in the MV Store.
