Pornhub wants you to pay for your porn

Pornhub Premium will give users high-definition ad-free porn.

PastedImage-47175 Instagram / Pornhub Instagram / Pornhub / Pornhub

PORNHUB HAS ANNOUNCED a paid section to its website that’s promising users faster speeds, higher quality and a greater selection of content.

The pornography site described ‘Pornhub Premium’ as the “Netflix for porn” with the price for the new service set at €9.99 per month.

Pornhub also promises paid subscribers that they will be able to stream videos free of pop-up ads on both desktop and mobile.

The service was officially launched today but Pornhub has been teasing customers with ads for the new service for the past number of weeks with the tagline ‘The New Standard’.


Pornhub TV / Vimeo

The current Pornhub website will remain free but today’s bid for paid subscribers will be seen as a way of tempting online users to pay for pornography, a challenge that has proved difficult for providers to date.

Pornhub itself has benefited for from the demand for free pornography online and the website has never been slow generating headlines for itself.

The site has proved to be prolific in mining data from its vast worldwide userbase and using it to provide a picture of the porn viewing habits of users in different countries.

    The only time I paid for watching porn was when she caught me red handed.
