The coronavirus pandemic has pushed Pornhub to donate face masks to New York and to grant premium access to people across the world.
In an effort to encourage more people to stay home and flatten the coronavirus curve, Pornhub is offering free premium subscriptions for a limited time (until April 23). They’ve also donated 50,000 masks to New York healthcare workers.
These donations are part of Pornhub’s COVID-19 relief measures, which were announced yesterday, after thousands of healthcare workers from across New York state complained about lack of resources and protective gear.
“These masks are mission critical in the fight against the COVID pandemic,” said Joe Calderone, senior vice president at Long Island’s Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital. “They will help keep our nurses, physicians and support staff safe from infection while caring for those who are stricken with the disease.”

Aside from donating masks to different hospitals and locations in New York, Pornhub is also donating $54,000 to help organizations in Germany, Spain and Italy cope with the coronavirus and obtain more medical supplies.

Pornhub is also upgrading the amount of money models are making on their site. Models traditionally used to keep 65% of the money made by these videos; they will now keep 85% of earnings. As a final measure, Pornhub will be providing aid to sex workers, a business that has also been harmed by the coronavirus pandemic. The company donated $25,000 to the Sex Workers Outreach Project to support sex workers affected 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,” said Pornhub’s president Corey Price in a statement.
Pornhub has been updating their premium memberships as the coronavirus has continued to spread across the globe, first providing free access to Italy and now expanding their measures on a worldwide level. Said Price, “We hope by expanding our offer of free Pornhub Premium worldwide, people have an extra incentive to stay home and flatten the curve.”
