Consent, Freedom of Sexual Expression, Authenticity, Originality, and Diversity are the values that have made Pornhub the leading free, ad-supported, adult content hosting and streaming website, because they empower, inspire, liberate and revolutionize our understanding of sexuality and sexual expression.
Consent is mandatory. Any content uploaded to Pornhub must be consensual.
We define Consent as the express, voluntary, and non-coerced agreement or willingness to engage in a specific sexual activity, and, where applicable, to produce, or disseminate content for a particular audience. It is the power we, as individuals, have over our bodies, image, and the content we generate or of which we are a part. Consent is paramount to protecting the safety of our users and the integrity of our platform.
We insist that all those uploading content onto our platform ensure that they have the required consent from all those featured and otherwise in any way involved with the content in question. When you are working with others, whether participants, performers, or producers you must always take all necessary actions to protect yourself, all persons involved, and your content.
Remember that pornography does not always represent sexual interactions and behaviors typical of everyday life, and can depict diverse fantasies and role-play by consenting amateurs and professionals.
