Porn Hub kicked off in 2007 and joined forces with the MindGeek empire in 2010, putting it in the same league as other popular tube sites like Youporn and Redtube. This trio—Porn Hub, Youporn, and Redtube—now rules the adult industry online, boasting a combined 100 million unique users.
Easily the most ambitious and likely the most successful adult site ever, Porn Hub has made waves with its annual Porn Hub Awards. The 2018 event, hosted by Asa Akira, even featured the debut of Kanye West & Lil’ Pump’s viral music video, “I Love It,” produced by Spike Jonze.
Free Porn
If you’ve watched free porn on the internet, chances are you’ve stumbled across Porn Hub. It’s my top choice for its unmatched variety and an enormous catalog. While Red Tube is pretty good, it doesn’t compare to Porn Hub’s vast offerings. The real game-changer? Their impressive and ever-expanding collection of homemade, user-uploaded videos.
Space Porn Is Coming
Believe it or not, Porn Hub is also planning to create the first porn film shot in space. The project, titled Sexplorations, received $3.5 million in funding via Indiegogo. Stars Eva Lovia and Johnny Sins are set to undergo six months of intense training before the big launch. One small step for man, one giant… well, you get the idea.
Everyone Can Be a Porn Star
Thanks to Porn Hub’s innovative community features, anyone with a decent camera—heck, even an iPhone—can become a porn star. The site has evolved beyond a simple video tube into a sort of pornographic social media platform. With a free account, you can upload content, follow your favorite amateur models, and tip them to encourage more uploads. Sometimes a little tip can make all the difference.
Homemade Porn
Homemade porn offers a realism big studios like Brazzers or Reality Kings can’t match. It’s like comparing mainstream pop music to underground tracks—raw, authentic, and created out of passion rather than just for money. Plus, there’s always a chance you might come across a video of someone you know. I’m always on the lookout for the neighborhood college slut; even if she hasn’t shown up yet, you can easily find someone just as hot.
Navigating Porn Hub’s Treasure Trove
Beyond the social features and endless amateur videos, Porn Hub is incredibly easy to navigate. Just type in your favorite keywords, and then filter the results. You can toggle between professional and homemade content, choose between videos, photos, or gifs, and filter by duration. The site even recommends related terms and user channels that match your search.
Of course, user-uploaded content can be hit or miss, but Porn Hub’s rating system helps weed out the duds. Sort your results by most-viewed or top-rated, and you’ll quickly find what you’re in the mood for. However, be prepared for a lot of very short homemade videos; it seems many users can’t last beyond two minutes.
Shortcomings and Suggestions
One downside of Porn Hub’s homemade content is that many popular girls hide their faces. For me, seeing the girl’s face is crucial—it changes the whole vibe. Another common issue is low-effort videos. If you’re going to make a porn video, do it right! Make sure the camera is focused, and the video length is decent. A 15-second clip shot on an outdated phone just doesn’t cut it.
Also, if you’re shooting a POV video, keep the camera steady. No one wants to watch a shaky video of bedsheets because you’re too horny to focus.
The Issue With Ads
My biggest gripe with Porn Hub in general? The relentless ads. I get it, they’re the biggest porn site on the planet, but do they really need that much ad revenue? Ads on the sidebars, at the bottom, and even before videos start—it’s overkill. Calm down, Porn Hub.
Despite some drawbacks, Porn Hub’s homemade section offers a lot in terms of community and variety. The platform makes it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for, and the user-uploaded content brings a level of authenticity that’s hard to beat. However, I hope they ease up on the ads and that some of you amateur filmmakers step up your game. Maybe Porn Hub should consider offering basic production tips for aspiring pornographers. That way, everyone could make videos worth watching.
