Pornhub is now offering sexual education to help people learn about, well quite frankly, sex.
On Wednesday, the adult pornography website announced a new program called “Pornhub Sexual Health Center”. The company hopes the free website will help young men and women learn about sex, sexually transmitted diseases and other topics found in a typical sexual education course.
Sex therapist Dr. Laurie Betito will direct the website and will be working with other experts to provide information and help answer questions related to sex.
The website will be broken down into different categories and sub-categories including ‘Get Healthy’, which features information on reproductive health, STDs, and a section dedicated to “your body”. In addition, Pornhub will also include a second section discussing sexuality and will include frequently asked questions, “real talk” and information on relationships.
So far the website has information on yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and menopause. In addition, Laurie Betito has already started answering frequently asked questions. One such question shared on the website is ‘How often is too often to see someone new you are dating?‘ Betito explains, “If you think that the person you met could be “the one” that could make it work, and you really like the person, there is no issue with seeing that person more than once a week at the beginning. ”
“As the premiere destination for adult entertainment, catering to nearly 70 million daily visitors, we wanted to provide our fans with a trusted educational platform they can utilize as their go-to resource for information and advice when it comes to sex,” said Corey Price, Vice President of Pornhub explained in a statement. “We understand the importance of educating the general public on a wide range of topics pertaining to sexual health and awareness, and saw an opportunity to deliver knowledge and understanding through renowned doctors and experts. Think of us as a one-stop shop, available 24/7, to facilitate your needs, be it comprehensive information regarding STIs and safe sex, the latest in sex tech or advice on how to approach a friends with benefits arrangement.”
