Pornhub has a new line of socks with porn stars on them, so you don't ruin your actual socks
Everyone has their own methods of self-care and self-love, and Pornhub has decided to kill two birds with one stone with their latest offering: athletic socks.
Featuring adult film stars Asa Akira, Madison Ivy, and Jonny Sinns, the new socks come with a campaign that's positively erupting with double-entendres, like the hashtag "#beatyourself" and their suggestions for multiple uses.
Corey Price, VP of Pornhub, explains the reasoning behind the product: “For as long as I can remember, socks have served a dual purpose. Not only are they a staple of our everyday attire, but some people have MacGyvered them to serve as a tool for self-love and…clean up. Following our foray into the fitness and fashion industries, it made sense for us to release a sock line that appeals to both athletes and fashionistas, as well as self-love enthusiasts.”
AdultFriendFinder — readers’ pick for casual connections
Hinge — popular choice for regular meetups
Of course, Pornhub would never launch a new product without a tongue-in-cheek (or something-in-something, anyway) ad to go along with it, and the same can be said for this roll out, with an ad that takes on your favorite athletic gear provider.
Just do it, indeed!
Maybe you can pick up a pair to wear while working out with your BangFit after a fun night out. Or you can keep them on your bedroom floor for easy-to-reach clean-up.
Or you could... wear them as socks. But we've all seen that clip from American Pie.
At $18 for two pairs, it's on the pricier end for sock options, but it's unlikely you'll find socks screen-printed with porn stars on the rack at Target.
Here's hoping this new line of merch is a success and that, by winter, we'll get a wool version.
