With yesterday’s FCC repeal of net neutrality protections, the adult internet as we know it is in danger.

We’ve still got a fighting chance, if we lobby our congress people. But here’s what porn fans face if massive corporations like Verizon and Comcast are able to determine what you can and can’t watch.

Blocked and Censored Websites
Without net neutrality, the company that you get your internet from can outright block any site they want, including xHamster. Over the past year, we’ve seen incredible pushback from social conservatives across the world asking governments to censor or block adult sites. Public corporations are even more vulnerable to boycotts and governmental pressure.

For the past three years, xHamster has experienced an explosion of traffic coming from people searching from Star Wars. At xHamster, we’ve come to call the phenomenon “the Force Awakening!”

So far though, the searches this year have been unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Based on comparison to trends in year’s past, we’re expecting The Last Jedi to explode previous box office records for the franchise.

A popular trend going on around the Internet is the ugly Christmas sweater with an exposed boob.

xHamster has decided to up the stakes announcing a contest for the best "Exposed Boob Ugly Sweater" picture.

The winner will receive a Christmas gift from xHamster, and their boobs will become the "boob" category face on xHamster for the upcoming Christmas season.

All you need is upload a related pic on Twitter, tag #rudolphboob and @xhamster and wait for it!

"We love boobs," said Alex Hawkins, VP of xHamster. "Boobs are still a taboo in social media society, so we are glad when they come out - … Read more

You’re a porn fan. Maybe you’re not particularly political. Maybe you hate ALL CAP tweets, petitions, and righteous indignation, and don’t understand why you should waste precious time with your one available hand. Well, dear xHamster fan, net neutrality is the lube by which porn sites live. Kill it, and we’re going to be facing a dry, limp, and painful future.

Below, a quick explainer as to why you need to put down the tissue and fight for net neutrality — with both available hands.

Your Porn Could Be Blocked

Yes, you heard that right. If FCC kills net neutrality, your internet service could block your access to xHamster. Right now, under the existing net neutrality rules, your ISP (the cable company, the phone company or whoever provides your internet) is prohibited from discriminating against particular sites. If it’s on the net, and it’s legal, they have to let you access it — for now.

xHamster team worked extremely hard to provide the best user experience for you and we are always looking for ways to improve.

Users have always had the power at xHamster and you proved it once again with the profile design page.

Since we introduced the new xHamster design in Beta, we`ve read every email, comment, complaint and ticket you sent. Those were A LOT.

xHamster`s community is huge with over 11 000 000 registered users and counting. We are Facebook in porn, and we`d like our users to be satisfied with their social life on xHamster.

Seems like we haven`t met your expectations with our first version of the profile page design, so we`ve rearranged it based on your feedback.

So, before you tape any candy corn to your nipples, or put on a barely there mummy wrap, be sure to take a look at our t … Read more

Social Media Guidelines for Journalists Writing About Porn

Social media plays a vital role in expressing our raunchy, sexual desires. On social platforms, reporters and editors can ogle beautiful breasts, “like” freshly shaved pudendum, flirt with MILFS, and masturbate to freshly cut GIFs.

But social media also presents risks for journalists. Can you accurately report on a transwoman to whom you’ve not only retweeted, but DM’d for customs? If you’ve liked and rubbed one out to a free porn clip, can readers trust you to accurately evaluate Jon Ronson’s Butterfly Effect? If you consistently follow creampie porn stars, can you be trusted to accurately cover debates over on testing protocols? A few guidelines for reporters.

Traffic to xHamster Plummets During Eclipse.

Traffic to xHamster went this across the country during today's solar eclipse … but the differences, like our porn preferences, were regional.

Porn traffic from with a complete or near complete eclipse — like Charleston, SC and Nashville and Portland, OR — dropped as much as fifty percentage points, while cities with less complete eclipses, like New York, Los Angeles and Miami saw much smaller declines.

Below the percentage drop in traffic for the peak hours of the eclipse:
