Leave it to leading adult entertainment site Pornhub to understand what we really need at home during this novel coronavirus COVID-15 quarantine. Toilet Paper? Nah. Water? Nah. Boxed Mac and Cheese? Hell no. We need PORN. And that is what the elite company is giving subscribers worldwide for a month.
Starting today, Pornhub will offer free Pornhub Premium to the entire world in an effort to encourage the importance of staying home and practicing social distancing.
In addition, Pornhub is also pledging its support to first responders and medical staff fighting on the front lines against the Coronavirus around the world. Pornhub’s COVID-19 relief efforts worldwide include donations of:
- 15,000 surgical masks to protect first responders from the Local 2507 of New York City, which represents emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics and fire inspectors of the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY).
- 15,000 surgical masks to the Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFA) Local 94 of New York City to protect first responders.
- 20,000 surgical masks to Mount Sinai South Nassau to bolster the safety of nurses, physicians and support staff caring for Coronavirus patients.
- €50,000 to various European organizations to purchase additional masks and medical equipment, including Dein Quarantäne Engel / Deutsches Rotes Kreuz in Germany, Croce Verde di Vicenza in Italy, España vs Coronavirus. Mascarillas AQUÍ AHORA and Material Sanitario para Hospitales Públicos ESPAÑA in Spain.
- $25,000 to Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP), contributing directly to sex worker relief funds in the SWOP-USA network to meet immediate requests for support from sex workers impacted by COVID-19.
“With nearly one billion people in lockdown across the world because of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s important that we lend a hand and provide them with an enjoyable way to pass the time. We hope by expanding our offer of free Pornhub Premium worldwide, people have an extra incentive to stay home and flatten the curve,” said Corey Price, Vice President, Pornhub.
To help models who have been financially impacted by COVID-19, Pornhub will offer them 100% of their video sales after processing fee — for a total payout of 85% of video sales earnings on both Pornhub and its clip site Modelhub — for the month of April.
“When a global human crisis happens, it is up to everyone to work together to help support the community. We have always been a global community, hosting over 130,000 models from every corner of the earth. We stand by our performers and models and we will continue working on other projects to assist the community during this challenging time,” Price added.
Compared to the previous month to date, the Pornhub Model Program has seen an average increase of over 15% in sales per day. This includes video sales growth, as well as tips and fan club sales growth – growing 10%, 21% and 18% compared to the month before, respectively.
Bobby Eustace, L27 Vice President of UFA Local 94 had this to say, “In these unprecedented times we are extremely grateful to all that have reached out in support of NYC firefighters. These are trying times for everyone across the country, especially the first responders, so we thank Pornhub for their generous donation. Now more than ever we need to come together as one and overcome this national crisis.”

“We very much appreciate the offer from Pornhub to donate 20,000 surgical masks to help protect our healthcare workers and patients at Mount Sinai South Nassau during the COVID-19 crisis. These masks are mission critical in the fight against the COVID pandemic. They will help keep our nurses, physicians and support staff safe from infection while caring for those who are stricken with the disease. We are doing everything possible to curtail the spread of the virus and these masks are a first line of defense,” said Joe Calderone, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications & Development, Mount Sinai.
