Pornhub’s portal for visually impaired users makes… everything… BIGGER


Pornhub’s portal for visually impaired users makes… everything… BIGGER

You can leave your glasses in the holster: Pornhub has optimized its platform for the visually impaired so users with reduced vision no longer have to squint their eyeballs when… flexing their love muscles.

This move represents the latest step in the company’s Pornhub Cares initiative to make its service more accessible to people with disabilities. The optimized version of the website features enlarged text, customized color contrasts, keyboard shortcuts for ease of navigation as well as enhanced image text.

Pornhub says accessibility-friendly page uses various filters, plugins, extensions and screen readers to make its content more legible to visually impaired users. All these features were implemented in accordance with the guidelines for best practices in web accessibility outlined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

But really: It sort of looks like you’re browsing the mobile version of the porn portal from your desktop. In fact, all signs seem to point this way:

“Accessibility has always been an integral component of Pornhub’s DNA and we’ve worked tirelessly to ensure that all our fans can find pleasure in our content.” said Pornhub VP Corey Price. “Visually impaired users will now be able to more seamlessly navigate our website and experience adult entertainment in all its glory, without compromise.”

Users with visual impairment disabilities can head all the way down to the bottom of the Pornhub homepage to enter the optimized portal. The link for the Visually Impaired page resides under the Discover section.

Meanwhile, the XXX giant promises to continue streamlining its platform for the visually impaired in the future. Users are encouraged to send along their feedback over at accessibility@pornhub.com.

Now go dispel the myth that masturbation makes you blind.
