Yoga with Streamate | 8:00AM – 9:00AM Each morning, Pineapple Support will partner with Streamate to offer a gentle yoga session led by instructor Ashe Frances. Open to all experience levels, the session will focus on movement, breathwork, and relaxation, a calm counterpoint to the energy of the conference floor. 

Breakfast of Champions | 9:00AM – 10:00AM Sponsored by Ceartas.io, Breakfast of Champions is an intimate morning gathering where attendees can connect informally with experts from Pineapple Support’s trusted professional network. Guidance will be available across financial planning, legal support, sexual health, platform navigation, and more. Licensed Pineapple Support therapists will also be on hand for informal conversations in a welcoming, pressure-free setting. Light snacks and juice will be provided. 

“Events like XBIZ Miami can be high-energy and demanding,” says Pineapple Support Founder Leya Tanit. “By creating space for both professional guidance and personal wellbeing, we’re helping ensure that creators have access to the support they need, whether that’s expert advice, mental health resources, or simply a moment to breathe.” 

Founded in 2018 by British performer Leya Tanit following a wave of losses in the adult industry to depression and other mental illnesses, Pineapple Support is a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has connected over 19,000 adult performers to free and low-cost mental health services. 

Attendees are encouraged to join either or both sessions throughout the conference.

We are thrilled to share that our charity auction at The GRABBYS in Torremolinos raised $13,406 for Pineapple Support’s mental health services. 

The evening at Hotel Ritual on April 23rd was electric from start to finish. DJ Bonnie Locket set the tone with an incredible set, and hosts Sister Roma and Austin Ponce drove competitive bidding all the way to the final seconds. This evening was a powerful demonstration of what this community can do when it comes together for a cause that matters. 

Our thanks go to every single person who bid, donated, and showed up — and to the generous donors who made the auction possible: Falcon Studios/NakedSword, GRABBYS Europe, KINK.com, The Handy, SayUncle, CreatorHelper, F2F.com, MojoHost, Craig Lomas, and Pineapple Support. 

Every dollar raised goes directly towards ensuring that adult industry professionals have access to the mental health care they deserve. To see our community come together in this way means everything to us and to the thousands of people we serve.

Pineapple Support and Falcon/NakedSword Raise $50,000 for Men’s Mental Health with Star-Studded Event and Campaign

/in , , /by

Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health non-profit, partnered with Falcon/NakedSword in November for a powerful initiative in support of Men’s Mental Health Month. The collaboration raised an incredible $52,000 through a social media awareness campaign and the glamorous Ms. Pineapple Cabaret, held in Palm Springs.

The event, which featured leading adult creators and world-class cabaret performers, was a celebration of resilience, vulnerability, and community. All proceeds from the Ms. Pineapple Cabaret went directly to Pineapple Support, helping to fund free and low-cost mental health services for adult industry professionals.

“Our fifth annual Mx. Pineapple event was our most meaningful and successful yet, raising more than $50,000 to support mental health services for adult performers and industry professionals,” said Falcon | NakedSword President and CEO Tim Valenti. “What made the evening particularly special was the overwhelming sense of community: Celebrity hosts, A-list entertainers, and beloved performers coming together in Palm Springs, surrounded by a sold-out, standing-room-only crowd, all united by a shared commitment to care for each other. 

Throughout the month, Falcon/NakedSword and Pineapple Support shared heartfelt messages, stories of strength, and honest conversations across their platforms. The campaign aimed to raise awareness of the unique challenges men face regarding mental health, particularly in adult entertainment, while encouraging open dialogue and reminding performers that support is available.

“Men’s mental health is a crucial issue that too often goes unaddressed, especially in the adult entertainment industry,” says Leya Tanit, founder and CEO of Pineapple Support. “Through our partnership with Falcon/NakedSword, we’ve been able to use our platform to foster open dialogue, provide resources, and remind men that they are not alone in their struggles.”

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 18,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support.

“This outpouring of generosity will directly help PineappleSupport.org to continue its essential work providing life-changing mental health resources to those who need them most,” said Valenti. “We are deeply grateful to our co-presenting sponsor, Mr. Man; our platinum sponsors Flirt4Free, Streamate, and Fleshjack; our gold sponsors ASGmax, No Monkeys, Chaturbate, MENatPLAY, GayVN, Erotik, Clips4Sale, Say Uncle, and Grooby; and our community partners, including Eight4Nine Restaurant & Lounge, Desert AIDS Project, CCBC Resort Hotel, Fort Troff, and Swiss Navy. Their support and belief in this mission make this work possible.”

Pineapple Support and Falcon | NakedSword are already planning a bigger and expanded Mx. Pineapple event in 2026. Those interested in getting involved or learning more should contact Toby J Morris, Falcon | NakedSword VP Business Development & Marketing.
