Real Couples Watch Porn Together in Pornhub's New Campaign

There’s been a whole subgenre of advertising over the past decade where real-life couples sit down and learn something new about each other as a kind of social experiment. This is Pornhub’s version of that.

The adult site worked with agency Officer & Gentleman and Whoisthebaldguy director Michael Krivicka to film real-life couples talking about their porn-watching habits—and then watching porn together as well. The resulting six-minute video promotes the site’s new Premium Lovers joint membership options, designed to help couples better explore and understand their partners’ sexual interests.

The effect of porn watching on real-life intimacy is, of course, more complicated than Pornhub presents here—though being open and honest about it certainly seems like a positive thing for couples.

“Watching these different couples interact was a really eye-opening experience,” says Officer & Gentleman co-founder Javi Iñiguez de Onzoño. “It was surprising for us, after five years working with the brand, to see how comfortable people have become talking about porn and what an important role it plays in their relationships.”

“We decided to introduce our Premium Lovers membership in order to provide couples with a resource that can not only help spice up their relationships in quarantine, but also to help each partner learn even more about their lover on a sexual level. Couples who play together, stay together,” adds Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub.

Pornhub, which has a long history of doing creative advertising, is largely ad-supported but does have a Pornhub Premium membership option. The new Premium Lovers membership includes a free seven-day trial, after which it costs $14.99 a month or $142.99 annually for two accounts.
