Italy won’t be the only country to get free access to Pornhub’s premium service in the wake of the coronavirus.
The adult website is now expanding the same offer to users in France and Spain, which have also been experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases. Residents in both countries are now facing lockdowns, forcing them to stay at home. In response, Pornhub will give the country’s users free access to the premium service for the next month. The service is normally $9.99 a month (or $95.88 a year) and primarily lets you view adult videos in HD quality with no ads.
“In addition, Pornhub will donate this month's sales from Modelhub (the site’s creator’s hub) to help these countries facing this emergency,” it said in a blog post on Tuesday. Donations will also be sent to a GoFundMe campaign in Italy to raise money for a new intensive therapy center in a Milan hospital. “This is coming straight from Pornhub’s share — Model earnings will remain untouched,” the post added.
We’ve asked the adult website whether it’ll extend the same free option to the US, which has also begun instituting lockdowns in certain cities to stop the coronavirus’s spread.
“We are assessing the COVID-19 pandemic daily to determine how else we can support our vast global community, including expanding free access to Pornhub Premium,” a spokesperson told PCMag. “We will keep our community informed of news and changes via Pornhub.com/blog and on social media.”
Although many other businesses, such as movie theaters and restaurants, have shut down in response to the outbreak, expect no such disruption at Pornhub. The popular website is also telling users it’s not going anywhere. “We want to let our Models know that payments will continue as usual and be on time, and our Support Team is still here to help you in any way they can,” the site said in a separate blog post yesterday.
