Pornhub Awards Go Wild West for 7th Annual Ceremony Hosted by Jordan Firstman

The seventh annual Pornhub Awards adopted a Wild West theme, moving from a rock 'n' roll celebration to a "horny hoedown" at the historic Saddle Ranch Chop House on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. The event, held on May 8, 2025, honored adult industry performers and content creators, with comedian Jordan Firstman hosting.

Event Details and Atmosphere

The 7th annual Pornhub Awards took place on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at the Saddle Ranch Chop House in West Hollywood, California. This year's event departed from the previous year's rock 'n' roll theme at the Whisky a Go Go, opting instead for a Wild West motif. Attendees, described as the industry’s top cowboys and cowgirls, arrived in Western apparel.

Guests at the invite-only event enjoyed an open bar, sponsored by Vixen Media Group's WIFEY label, and operated by Saddle Ranch staff. Food options included chicken tenders, burgers, and fries. Attendees received white cowboy hats, some featuring Pornhub branding, courtesy of Fansly. Gift bags from the marijuana brand Stiiizy were also distributed. Some guests consumed their Stiiizy items while seated on bales of hay. A photo booth was available where starlets posed on saddles. Line dancing was also part of the pre-show activities.

The evening was characterized as an informal affair. Only six awards were presented onstage, with the remaining winners announced during an eight-minute video segment. Pornhub's approach to the awards presentation was direct, with minimal opening remarks and no lifetime achievement speeches or hall of fame inductions.

Hosting and Special Guests

The event was hosted by Jordan Firstman, identified as a comedian, influencer, and rising musical artist. Firstman, whose album Secrets was reviewed by a Grindr anon for Interview last month, described the hosting role as "the role I was born for." He aimed to manage the "intoxicating — and increasingly intoxicated — crowd." Firstman reflected on the audience, stating, "Was it the most captive audience I’ve ever had? No. But was it fun? Yes, it was fun." He also mentioned savoring interactions with female performers, while noting, "The guys were a little shady, though."

A cast of VIPs and industry icons attended the awards. These included Kim Petras, Chris Hanley, Asa Akira, Angela White, Queenie Sateen, and Girthmasterr. Some attendees were observed wearing assless chaps and cowboy hats.

Awards and Recognition

The 7th annual Pornhub Awards recognized winners in various categories, which were determined by a combination of data analysis and fan voting. Nominees for data-driven categories were selected based on video performance, rank, searches, views, and other user engagement metrics from the previous year. To be eligible, models needed to be active performers in the adult industry and either upload content to Pornhub or be tagged in videos uploaded in 2024.

Fan voting categories allowed fans to select winners by casting votes on the Awards site. Fan voting commenced on an unspecified date and concluded on April 30 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Signed-in fans could vote once daily per category.
