A few weeks ago, the adult streaming site announced that they would be allowing everyone in Italy to access it's premium, subscriber-based content for free.

Warning: The article might feature content that is NSFW (but that might be at home right now, so go for it).

Now they are doing this for absolutely everyone. Yes, you read that correctly. Free porn for everyone, as long as you are of the required age to be viewing such material.

This is part of PornHub Stay Home campaign, which is aiming to help stop the spread of coronavirus, by encouraging everyone to stay indoors and practice social distancing and what better way to do that than offering everyone free porn.

All you have to do is visit the Stay Home section of their website (we won't post the link in here for obvious reasons, but, let's be honest, we all know it) and sign up for the free HD content, which usually costs $9.99 a month.

However, there is a catch. The free content reportedly only lasts for 30 days but after 30 days of solid free porn, you might want to give it a rest anyway.

The Canadian company, which was founded in 2007, have also said that they intend to pay their models in full while this service is being offered for free.

In a press release, PornHub said:

100% of their [models] 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.

They also confirmed that they will be making donations to first responders and medical staff who are on the front line trying to combat the virus and help those who have become infected.

This includes thousands of surgical masks for workers in New York City, financial donations to areas in Germany, Italy and Spain and $25,000 to Sex Workers Outreach Project.

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 this information, we have just two questions? How good are the PornHub servers and why does a porn streaming service have so many surgical masks? Those role-playing scenes must have a hell of budget.
