It's Valentine's Day - a time of year that's meant to be about sharing affection and love, but ends up making most of us miserable. There are a load of people out there in happy relationships that would rather not have to deal with the day, and others who would love a chance to shower someone special with gifts and affection, but just haven't found the one yet.
When you're single, it doesn't always matter whether you put much stock in Valentine's Day as a genuine event on the calendar - it can still sting a little when you head home alone at the end of the day while your friends head out on their romantic dates. So, at that point, it's time to do something nice for yourself - get some takeout, watch a guilty pleasure movie, and chill out with some friends.
Or... you could make use of the Pornhub's recent promotion, and get yourself some free premium-level porn for the day.
Yep, you read that right - the best deal you're going to get comes from one of the biggest sites for explicit adult content. No need for Groupon vouchers for restaurants, you can just sit back, relax, and make use of all the pornography from their premium membership, without the need to sign up or pay anything.
Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what premium porn entails. Maybe they've got a bigger budget for special effects, some actual emotional stories to tell, or a meaty role for Daniel Day-Lewis to play... there's only one way to find out.
This isn't the first time that the company has rolled out their premium content for free, as they did the same for Valentine's Day last year. But this year, they've also introduced a mixtape to go with the special day.
I don't imagine many of you were eagerly awaiting Pornhub to curate a playlist of music for you, but they've got an album all the same.
In collaboration with Create Music Group, it will include six tracks by the Tekashi 6ix9ine, PnB Rock, Lil AK, Lil Xan, Asian Doll, MadeinTYO, 24hrs and Blac Chyna. Corey Price, the Vice President of Pornhub spoke about the music in a recent press release:
"To help ease the stress of planning the perfect Valentine’s Day, we wanted to show our fans some love by curating an album so seductive that it would make Cupid himself blush — and is guaranteed to end your night with a bang.
"With over 100 million people visiting Pornhub daily, we know what gets people in the mood. When you feel like the night is about to reach its crescendo, dim the lights and throw this album on. You’ll thank us later."
One thing I will say - if you use this playlist to help serenade a date, maybe don't tell them you got it from a porn website. Might kill the mood just a little bit.
