Pineapple Support at Adult Industry Forum
Type of Event: Panel on Physical and Mental health in the Adult Industry
Date: 20th October 2026 at 16:30 – 17:30pm
Hosted by: Paulita Pappel
With Panelists: Chiara Riolfi, Leya Tanit (Pineapple Support), Maria Riot and Todd Verow
Location: Berlin
Join us at the Adult Industry Forum, a conference and networking platform presented by the Pornfilmfestival Berlin. Our CEO Leya features on a panel on the physical and mental health in the adult indutry:
“It’s not like any other job.” Sex workers hear this all the time, and there’s truth in it, though not for the reasons people assume. Working with sex means working with your body and mind in ways that can be stressful and draining. It also happens under stigma and limited labour protections, and those shape our health as much as the work does.
This panel asks what the real stakes are. What’s expected of performers on set, and who decides? What mental health challenges do we face, and where can we find support without being judged for the job? And what does a safer working environment look like, one where adults have sovereignty over their bodies and decisions, and the resources to act on them freely and safely?

Effective parenting helps balance discipline with understanding, encourages independence, and models positive behavior. Parenting requires active listening, empathy, and open communication to foster trust and connection. Parents help children develop life skills, self-confidence, and resilience by setting consistent boundaries, offering encouragement, and providing opportunities for learning and exploration.
