The COVID-19 pandemic is changing substantially each day, and the adult entertainment platform, Pornhub, is extending a free premium subscription to all to encourage social distancing and isolation. The website's new 'Stay Home' landing page debuts on March 24th and gives users a free premium subscription for one month. The announcement follows the brand's previous free subscription membership for Italian residence that was also meant to encourage social distancing.
"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," said Corey Price, Vice President of Pornhub in a press release. "We hope by expanding our offer of free Pornhub Premium worldwide, people have an extra incentive to stay home and flatten the curve."
