Even Pornhub wants you to stay inside to help stop the coronavirus from spreading. So to encourage you to do so, the adult website is offering free access to Pornhub Premium to all users for the next month. 

The site has already been offering free access to Pornhub Premium in Italy, France and Spain, which have all ordered lockdowns in response to the pandemic. But with other countries including the US enacting lockdowns, now users everywhere can enjoy the same deal. 

“Since this is a situation that continues to impact us all, we've decided to play our part in encouraging everyone to stay home and are launching Free Premium worldwide until April 23,” Pornhub said in a blog post on Tuesday.  

Pornhub Premium normally costs $9.99 a month ($95.88 a year), and mainly offers you access to adult videos in HD quality without ads. Now you can use it for free by visiting Pornhub’s new “StayHomehub” website.

Pornhub only asks that you either commit to isolating yourself at home, or agree to regularly wash your hands and practice social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic. You’ll also have to sign up with a username, password and email address. 

As part of today’s announcement, the website is also giving all its models a 100 percent payout from both Pornhub and Modelhub during the month of April, citing the financial impact from the pandemic. “We have always been a global community, hosting Models from every corner of the world. So when a global human crisis happens, it is up to everyone to work together to help support the community, and that includes us, too,” Pornhub wrote in the blog post.

My Experience

I've been a journalist for over 15 years. I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I'm currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country's technology sector.

Since 2020, I've covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I've combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink's cellular service.

I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. In 2024 and 2025, the FTC forced Avast to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation with Motherboard.

I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I'm now following how the AI-driven memory shortage is impacting the entire consumer electronics market. I'm always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.

The Best Tech I've Had:

  • My first video game console: a Nintendo Famicom
  • I loved my Sega Saturn despite PlayStation's popularity.
  • The iPod Video I received as a gift in college
  • Xbox 360 FTW
  • The Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone I was proud to own.
  • The PC desktop I built in 2013, which still works to this day.
