Your favorite new holiday has just become a thing: Free Porn Day exists and it's happening on September 8. I can't believe that it's a real thing, but here we are. There really is a holiday for everything (although probably not a Hallmark card). A whole lot of different sites you normally have to pay for will be offering their content for free.
According to Metro UK, the sites involved are providing 30 million hours of porn. So even if you watched porn straight for all 24 hours of Free Porn Day, you wouldn't even scratch the surface. Also, you would be so sore and tired and dehydrated you would probably never scratch anything again, so I don't recommend it. It just makes me remember those mice who were given a button for food and a button for orgasms and they just ignored the food and orgasmed themselves to death. I fear I am those mice.
But what's the motivation behind providing all this porn for free? Isn't there already a lot of porn on the internet? "There’s a lot of content and user experience that’s a lot better," Evil Angel CFO Adam Grayson said. "Let’s have them take the Pepsi Challenge and maybe they decide it is worth a couple bucks a month."
So this is your teaser and they're hoping to get you hooked. How do you get involved? According to their site: "Just come to (NSFW, obviously) FreePornDay.com on September 8 and click to visit any and all of the participating sites listed below."
I told you it would be your new favorite holiday. Here are some facts about women and porn to show you that you're not alone if you want to get involved:
1. Almost A Third Of Women Watch Porn Once A Week
That's right — it's definitely not just for dudes. Marie Claire surveyed over 3,000 women and found that nearly a third are logging on every week. I mean, I'm assume we're logging on for it. Maybe you have some of old Hustlers stowed away in your drawer, but the internet is amazing, people.
2. ... And 10 Percent Of Us Watch It Daily
Yeah, it's a thing. The same survey found that a whole lot of us like to watch porn every day. And I say, power to you. When I've been single, I've totally been one of these people. There's no better way to start your day than an orgasm and sometimes we need a little help to get us there.
3. Women Love Gay Porn
There are a few gay sites coming under the Free Porn Day deal, and if you haven't watched before, you may want to try. Pornhub and BuzzFeed teamed up last year and found that lesbian porn was the most popular type for women (gay or straight) and that the second favorite was male gay porn. Oh, and we were also way more into rough sex and group sex, so the sky's really the limit, ladies. Do some exploring.
