Everyone is entitled to experiencing adult entertainment. PornHub, one of the world’s largest online pornographic video sharing sites is about to offer an auditory experience unlike anything else online.

Until now, erotica hasn’t been inclusive, often neglecting the needs of the visually impaired, which account for more than four percent of the world’s population, but that’s all about to change.

PornHub has invested in an accessibility feature that gives users the ability to hear an in-depth account of what’s happening on screen. The “described video” doesn’t just rely on the audio featured in the film, it sets the scene by detailing everything about the people, place, and performance.

To offer the most diverse “described videos,” the website will release voiceover for a variety of content including gay, bi, and transsexual categories. Corey Price, PornHub’s vice-president, stressed the importance behind their new initiative in a recent statement:

““It’s our goal to service all of our users’ needs, which begins with making content accessible to every individual. We selected some of the videos that were better suited for narration and could be best described in detail. We wanted to describe all that we could to provide the user with the best possible experience while not taking away from the video’s original audio.”

It’s great to see a company that cares about each and every individual. Everyone should be able to access and enjoy the real reason we use the internet — porn.
