Pornhub'S Tiktok Twist: Shorties Set To Seduce A New Generation

Pornhub Flirts with Short-Form Video via 'Shorties'

Hey there, trendsetters! Remember how VHS and Betamax got a spicy reputation thanks to the adult industry? Well, history might just be repeating itself as Pornhub, the heavyweight champ of adult entertainment, jumps on the short-form video bandwagon with a seductive new feature called 'Shorties.'

Launched in beta over a year ago, Shorties offers exactly what you’d crave from a TikTok-style format - fast, vertical videos that deliver instant gratification. It’s no surprise that Pornhub, ranked as the world’s most-visited adult site by Similarweb, is now expanding this feature to more users. You can find the NSFW Shorties feed right on their main menu, though an official launch date is still under wraps.

Think of it as a quick fling for your screen - perfect for those who want their content hot and snappy. And with Mashable playfully suggesting 'Quickies' as a cheekier name, we’re already blushing at the possibilities!

Targeting the Young and Restless

Pornhub isn’t shy about its intentions with Shorties. The platform is aiming straight for the hearts - and screens - of the 18-24 demographic, who’ve already become the biggest fans of this bite-sized content.

But it’s not just about viewers. Creators are getting a sweet deal too, with the potential for greater reach and discoverability thanks to that addictive, infinitely scrolling feed. It’s a win-win, and Pornhub is clearly taking notes from mainstream giants like YouTube to keep up with the digital dating game.

'We’re thrilled with the early buzz around Shorties from both fans and creators,' a Pornhub spokesperson dished to Mashable. 'It’s sparking some serious creativity, and we can’t wait to unveil more when it officially drops later this year.'

A Nod to OnlyFans and a Wink at YouTube?

The adult industry is getting cozier with creator platforms like OnlyFans, where funding and fan connections are hotter than ever. With rumors of a massive OnlyFans sale and brands rushing to join the party, Pornhub might just carve out new ad space with Shorties once it’s fully live.

But here’s the juicy bit - will YouTube raise an eyebrow at the name 'Shorties'? It’s awfully close to 'YouTube Shorts,' and considering YouTube Premium’s original name echoed RedTube (another MindGeek property under Pornhub’s umbrella), this feels like a playful jab. A little tit-for-tat, perhaps?

Either way, Shorties is shaping up to be a game-changer, blending the addictive allure of vertical video with the adult world’s signature spice. So, are you ready to swipe through something a little naughtier than your usual TikTok feed? We’re all ears for your thoughts!
