Pornhub

Is Pornhub Good?

Yes, Pornhub is good. Some would even say it's better than good because, in addition to loads of free recorded cams in top categories, it also delivers a solid live cam experience. It easily beats out some of the best free cam sites, given its high-quality webcams (both live and recorded), its variety of performers, and the chance for live interaction 24/7.

What is Pornhub? 

Pornhub is essentially a tube site with both free and premium options. It's known for having adult films from some of the best porn sites (according to RabbitsReviews) and its colorful infographics for the most-searched terms in year-in-review articles across the internet. So it's hardly surprising that they deliver loads of recorded cam shows in addition to free hardcore videos. Its Live HD Cams section is where you can watch amateurs and pornstars who cam in adult videos as well as recorded and live cam sessions.

It's actually the live cams that I'm going to take a closer look at in my Pornhub review because the free recorded cams are self-explanatory and intuitive to access. For the sake of consistency, I'll look at some of the same things as my Cam Soda review and the many others I've done. So let's delve into the different chat options, the signup process, and other important details.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Free recorded cam shows

• Live cams 24/7

• Private and gold shows options

Cons

• Credit card required for signup

• No bulk credit discount

• No HD cam filter

Chat Options

Open Video Chat

When you dive into Pornhub's live cams, you're likely to explore the free public chat rooms first. Keep in mind that many performers limit their interactions with free users and often will outright ignore them. Luckily, you can create a free account, and while the process requires a credit card, you're under no obligation to add funds. It also indicates to the cam models that you have cash for tips or to go private, so they'll see you as more than just a freeloader. 

Private Chat

Going private on Pornhub offers a more intimate experience. You alone will have the chance to interact with your favorite performer rather than vying for their attention in a crowded chat room. But you should know that a private show may still have other users spying on you. They can't contribute to your conversations or direct any of the action onscreen, though - they're merely silent voyeurs. 

You also have the option of an exclusive 1-on-1 chat where it's just you and the cam girl of your choice without anyone watching in the shadows. In many instances, you can go cam2cam for a face-to-face conversation where you can share your most private fantasies. You can also connect with a couple if you're into threesomes.

Show Types

Ticket Shows

Pornhub doesn't have ticket shows. If you're not sure what a ticket show is, it's a live cam performance that users can buy tickets for rather than paying a per-minute rate or tipping. The appeal is that they're generally a more affordable option.

But take heart - Pornhub's gold shows are an excellent way to pay less for explicit webcam shows. These multi-goal performances get hotter and hotter based on how many tips the performers receive. They can go from tame teasing to full nudity and even masturbation and sex acts (with a dildo or real cock) within minutes.

You can also take advantage of Pornhub's discounted block sessions, which allow you to save from 5% to 20% off based on how many minutes you buy. As the FAQ points out, it's worth making sure the performer of your choice will be available for the 15-60 minutes you've prepaid. That's because the time has to be used all in one go. If the cam show lasts longer than your block of time, the per-minute rate will kick in for the remainder of the performance. 

Voyeur Shows

You can spy on people's private shows, which allows you to save some compared to the private chat rate. But your role will be that of a silent watcher. You can't chat with the performer or the user who's directing the action. It's an excellent way to unlock your inner voyeur, though, and knowing that others can spy on your private chat might unleash the exhibitionist in you.

Quality of Content

Video Quality

Many of the webcams are HD, as you'd expect, given that Pornhub promotes them under the Live HD Cams banner. You'll even come across some 4K streams. The only issue is that there's no Quality filter. But considering how common they are here, it's hardly a dealbreaker.

Model Variety

You'll discover women from around the world on Pornhub, including Pinay and Japanese hotties from Asia, as well as Ebony, white, and Latin performers from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and South America. The U.K. and Europe are also well represented, and then there are all the amateurs and pornstars, 18+ cuties and mature babes, and transgender girls, men, and couples. Whether I'm looking to add to my favorite chubby cam girls list or track down babes with glasses, I know I'm set.

Once you start digging, you'll find relative categories for every taste, like smoking, Femdom, feet, and more. The categories and searches make it easy to find your ideal cam model worldwide. Checking out their profiles will help you get to know them as though this were a dating cam site, which I covered in my Meet Cam Models review and also mentioned in my Fling review.

Pornhub's Mobile Experience

Like all my sex cam reviews, I need to talk about how easy it is to use Pornhub on my phone. Billions of mobile users worldwide watch Pornhub porn, so it makes sense that their Live HD Cams offer an excellent mobile experience. On my 6.8-inch smartphone screen, I saw a double column of thumbnails that showed a good amount of detail. There are 48 thumbs per page and arrows to move forward or back. I prefer this setup to infinite scrolling far more.

On the homepage, you can select from girls, guys, and transgender performers. Once you select your preferred gender, dropdown menus appear, letting you explore different categories. If you choose Girls, for example, you'll see cats like MILF, 18+ teen, BBW, lesbian, and huge tits. There's also advanced filtering with multiple dropdowns for things like region (which refers to specific countries and broader areas of the world), age, ethnicity, language, and more.

How to Register on Pornhub

You'll need a payment method to register your free Pornhub cam account. If you go with a credit card or PayPal, you'll pay nothing upfront and only be charged when you use clearly labeled paid services, like tipping a model or going private. There's also the option to go with cryptocurrency, but you'll need to spend the equivalent of $25 USD. A small fee will be deducted from the final amount of available funds in your account.

Pricing on Pornhub

When it comes to adding funds, the site provides you with a few options ranging from $25-$50 (in your local currency). You can also choose a custom amount. Gold show prices vary, but the performers provide you with menus that indicate what each tip amount will activate. Cam models set their own private show rates, too, but most charge $2-$3.50/minute. Of course, you'll find the occasional superstar who charges $5-10/minute. You can set a daily spending limit to keep your funds in check.

Payment Methods

You have the option of going with a credit card, PayPal, or cryptocurrency. Whatever payment method you use, know that the minute you visit a paid area of the site, your payment method will be charged a nominal fee of $2 USD if you haven't already added funds to your account. The fee will be returned to your account as a credit if you add further funds.

PayPal charges a processing fee that will be displayed before you complete your payment. There's also a cryptocurrency processing fee, which is automatically deducted from whatever amount you add to your account. European customers will be charged VAT (Value Added Tax) as required by law, but the amount is always clearly indicated.

Customer Support

If you encounter any issues, the first place to start is the FAQ. If you need further assistance, you have several ways of reaching Pornhub's customer support team. There's an online contact form and numerous toll-free numbers with worldwide coverage. Live chat support is available 24/7, and you can also WhatsApp them.

Customer Loyalty Program

There is no customer loyalty program for Pornhub's Live HD Cams. Unlike other cam sites that give bonus credits based on larger purchases, whatever amount of money you add to your Pornhub account is how much credit will be available to you.

Premium Membership

Pornhub doesn't have a premium membership option with access to additional perks based on a recurring fee, like Chaturbate and other live cam sites. However, creating an account gives you advantages over non-registered users, even before you add any funds. For example, you can save your favorites and set up notifications for when a performer is online.

My Criteria for Reviewing Cam Sites

My goal is to give you a solid overview of each cam site. In order to do that, I check it out on my computer and phone to get a good feel for the interface. I look at the diversity of the performers and the quality of the webcams. I try out the various features and go through the process of creating an account. In other words, I take each cam site for a test drive and then report back to you. 

I always make sure to give you a complete overview of the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's the best way to help you make an informed decision about which sites are worthwhile and which ones you should steer clear of. In the case of Pornhub, I encourage you to do some exploring of your own because there's plenty to see without paying a dime. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pornhub safe to use?

Yes, Pornhub is safe to use. Now more so than ever. After facing issues with the legality of some of the user-submitted content on its tube site, the company made significant changes to rectify the oversights of the past. Pornhub's live cams have always had the support and oversight from a major cam provider with years of experience in age verification, secure site operations, and safe payment processing.

How does Pornhub compare to other adult websites?

Pornhub is one of the most popular adult websites in the world for watching porn. So it's also gotten millions of viewers to check out its live cams - even if other cam sites regularly have more people using their services. Given that it offers free porn videos and both recorded and live cams, it's got a much bigger and broader selection of adult content (like cartoon porn and pussy licking lesbian cam couples) than your average porn or cam site.

Can I trust the reviews on Pornhub?

Whether it's feedback on the recorded cam shows or on the cam models' profiles, you can trust the reviews on Pornhub, especially since they come from real users. In the case of the live performers, you have to have a registered account with an active payment method to leave comments. And that restriction tends to prevent fake reviews and spam.

What are the benefits of using Pornhub?

The main benefit of using Pornhub is that you can fulfill your adult needs all in one place. After all, you've got thousands of lesbian and hardcore videos in every top category, extensive amateur and pornstar profiles, recorded webcam shows, and live cams. As one of the most popular adult sites on the internet, you can watch porn from top adult sites and discover trending searches for the most popular women and cams based on millions of viewers worldwide.

How do I report inappropriate content on Pornhub?

Every page on Pornhub has a link allowing you to report inappropriate content. In the case of the porn videos, you can let them know if you come across any questionable content. For the cams, the performers go through a verification process to ensure they're legit. You also have the option to ask for content removal, whether it's posted by a performer or user.

Is Pornhub legal to use?

Yes, Pornhub is legal to use. The live cams go through a stringent screening process that ensures the performers are 18+ and consenting adults. Pornhub removed any questionable content and tightened up its moderation of user-submitted content. As mentioned, if you ever see anything inappropriate, it's easy to report it and get it removed.

Final Thoughts

While Pornhub revolutionalized the porn industry by letting viewers watch free porn galore, its Live HD Cams hasn't exactly reinvented the wheel. There's no denying that they're cashing in on the popularity of watching porn videos on their tube site, which has the highest daily traffic of any adult site in the world. Still, it's on par with other live cam sites and has more hot women compared to some of the smaller cam sites on the market.

The performers cover all the top-viewed categories of porn. From MILF pornstars to Japanese girls and transgender models, and from masturbation to lesbian pussy licking and hardcore sex, there's something and someone for everyone. Whatever your favorite category or country, you'll find cam models who fit the bill and many who break the mold, too - in a good way!
