PornIQ Wants To Be Your Porn Concierge

Over the past few years, free porn sites like PornHub and XTube have conquered the internet, proving that, when it comes to innovation in porn, "free" is the one that consumers care the most about. But now that free sites seem to have won the battle against pay sites, they'll need to find a way to differentiate themselves from one another. The PornHub Network is hoping that PornIQ is one way to do that.

Marketed as a concierge service of sorts, PornIQ is a simple concept. It starts by asking you to pick a general category (all whimsically, if sometimes offensively*, named variations on basic categories like POV, BBW, couples porn, anal, etc), then asks you to refine that category (do you want your anal starlets amateur? MILFy? Virginal?), and then asks how much time you have. From there, you're presented with a choice of three playlists, each of which shuttles you through a series of videos on various PornHub sites.

It's a novel idea, and an interesting way of coming in contact with videos that match your interests (but might not immediately appear in a general search). Of course--as with similar non-porn services like Pandora--the success will hinge on the services ability to actually anticipate your interests. And, well, we'll have to do a little more research on how well that works out.

Also, seriously, it should be less racist.

*Did they really have to refer to Asian women as "Oriental beauties," with a picture of chopsticks? Is this 1950?
