Pornhub's First Store has a Livestreaming Bed Camera, of Course

from the Pop-Up...-Store dept.

Pop-up stores are all the rage, but Pornhub's shop in New York City is offering something... unique. If you visit its just-opened location on 70 Wooster Street, you'll see a bed with a camera that livestreams directly to the porn giant's website. No, you can't get away with what normally happens on a bed at Pornhub, but you are encouraged to "interact" with the camera. And let's be honest: this is probably your best shot at appearing live on a porn site without having to explain a surprise career move.

The store itself (which, unsurprisingly, is adults-only) is also notable as Pornhub's retail debut. And it's mostly about fashion. You'll see some sex toys and "aphrodisiac herbs," but most of the wares are either self-branded clothing or apparel from Pornhub's partners. The company knowingly set up shop next to high fashion brands, in fact. While no one would confuse the porn purveyor with its haute couture neighbors, the company clearly wants to be taken seriously.

If you're curious enough to step inside, the New York pop-up will be open until December 20th. There will also be a "holiday-themed" store in Milan, Italy before long.

    The same way they shut down G.G. Allin shows -- health-code violations (in his case, flinging feces and other bodily fluids all over the place). It's probably a zoning issue more than anything else. If they wanted to go that route then they'd probably have to get a lawyer to investigate a dedicated private residence or willing hotel.

    It is obvious that a lot of porn shoots take place in hotel rooms, but did the crew receive the hotel's permission? If so, was it a full-on NDA or nudge-nudge wink-wink from a sympathetic insider?

    Well now, don't know too many people that know who GG Allin is. I'm not surprised it would be you ;)

      I knew who he was--I once unsuccessfully tried to find a 10-second radio-safe clip on the two promo albums in the collection of the college radio station at which I was DJing.

      I have no idea why his people bothered sending them to the stations--they were unplayable, even after watershed...
