Pornhub launches a Netflix-style subscription service
If you've ever googled the phrase "Netflix for Porn," you'll find more than a few people wishing for a one-stop shop to satisfy their sexual peccadilloes. Pornhub is hoping to fill that hole by relaunching its premium offering as a $9.99 monthly subscription service that boasts a wide range of HD content. The business contains all of the usual features you'd expect including 1080p video, high-speed servers and exclusive content that, we're told, you won't find anywhere else.
Pornhub built a $1,000 twerking, robot butt
If there's one website that knows how to combine technology and savvy public relations stunts, it's Pornhub. The company behind the WankBand is gearing up to launch another piece of hardware in the form of TwerkingButt, an adult toy that promises to set a "new benchmark in sexual stimulation." Which is a ten-dollar way of saying that it's a robotic butt that vibrates when it's plugged in. Thanks to CyberSkin technology, the unit will even warm itself to a temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to match that of a human body.
Space Sex: PornHub wants $3.4 million to make orbital whoopie
Despite the associated physical difficulties of boinking in orbit, PornHub recently started an IndieGoGo campaign raising funds for the world's first space-based sex scene. The online pornography clearinghouse is seeking to raise $3.4 million over the next 60 days in order to send up AV stars Eva Lovia and Johnny Sins. The crowdfunding campaign's funds will go towards shuttle transportation and video equipment with the company reportedly footing the rest of the bill. "This will be a grand experiment in learning how intercourse works after penetrating the Earth's atmosphere," Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub, said in a statement.
Wankband charges gizmos with a flick of the wrist
Pornhub thinks it has a sexier solution for the age old problem of a gadget running out of juice prematurely, and the secret is in the (hairy) palm of your hand. Say hello to the Wankband: a wearable that straps on to your forearm, capturing the energy from a spot of self-love and using it to charge basically anything via USB. You see, inside the band resides a weighted ball that travels up and down in a tube with a flick of the wrist, and from there the kinetic energy's stored until your gizmo -- or sex toy -- of choice needs a charge.
iOS users are still huge porn lovers
A new end-of-the-year report by one of the web's most popular adult sites shows that iOS users are still totally in love with watching porn on the go. According to Pornhub's traffic data (SFW, I promise), over 40% of the visits coming from a mobile operating system come from Apple's iOS, putting it in second place behind Android (49%) and ahead of Windows (2%) and BlackBerry (1%). Second place might not seem like an indicator that iOS devotees are especially porn hungry, but when you consider that recent market share measurements put iOS at somewhere near 11% -- compared to Android's 84% -- it's clear that on a per-device basis, Apple's platform sees a lot more NSFW action. Pornhub's report doesn't separate tablet traffic from smartphone traffic on the OS level, but does note that just 11% of the site's visits come from tablets, while 45% come from smartphones, so Apple's iPad dominance certainly can't be used to fully explain the ratio of porn viewing on iOS. Perhaps the iPhone 6 Plus lends itself well to big screen viewing... You're a depraved bunch, and that's just fine.
iOS users are the biggest porn hounds
Which smartphone users partake in mobile pornography the most? According to Pornhub's data, the majority of the site's smartphone traffic comes from Android users, who make up just over 48%. iOS, trails behind with a little over 40%, while the remainder is made up of Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and other platforms. But while Android has the biggest slice of the porn pie, it doesn't tell the whole story. If you take into account smartphone market share -- where Android thoroughly dominates iOS thanks to countless budget handsets a plethora of manufacturers -- Android users actually don't watch all that much porn. On the other hand, while iOS makes up less than 12% of worldwide smartphone market share, it accounts for 40% of Pornhub's traffic. iOS users are indeed the most porn-hungry. This trend is further amplified when tablets are analyzed, as the iPad's domination of the market results in over 77% of Pornhub's tablet traffic coming from an Apple device. Android makes up just 21%, and Windows tablets account for less than half of a percent. In short, you're a bunch of filthy, filthy individuals. I'm proud of you.
