YouPorn Upgrades Your Porn Experience With Private Sign-In, Light Theme

YouPorn, the website you visit right after lunch when your brain blood moves to your stomach, is introducing a few new features to enhance your porn browsing experience. With private sign in and a light theme, YouPorn is continuing its mission of creating a porn site that inspires comfort, contentment and security when viewing porn.

YouPorn has been on a tear lately with the site enhancements and initiatives. After a bit of light fun at the expense of Starbucks last year, YouPorn started off the year with a new mobile standalone app. Then did some weird astrology and marriage proposal stuff, added Discord as a login option and stood in solidarity with the Global Climate Strike. So some marketing mixed with site enhancements. Seems on brand.

The private sign in feature that YouPorn is adding today is a feature a lot of porn site users have been waiting for. Many people want to create an account, but they want to do it without giving away personal information. They just want to leave cheeky comments on porn videos. With private sign in, they can do just that. It will allow users to create an account and a profile, without having to enter any personal information, and assign them a unique identification number. This will enable them to be able to utilize all the features of YouPorn's site upgrades, including personalized features and its recommendation engine.

"The apprehension with entering an email address, name, or even a password as part of the sign up process is preventing hundreds of millions of users from signing in, and as a result they are not able to take advantage of all of the experiences that we work so hard to offer on our platform," said Charlie Hughes, Vice President of YouPorn. "Prioritizing our users' security and privacy, we decided the best way to solve this problem is with a new feature we’re calling Private Sign In, enabling our users to create an account without entering any personally identifiable information, except for what is absolutely necessary."

The private sign in option can be utilized by users through a widget on the log-in page. From there, your anonymity is assured (save for all the information your browser is gathering about your porn habits) as you flip through YouPorn videos. The personalization of YouPorn is one of its most appealing draws, even if sometimes I feel like watching something a bit different. My current recommendations are about as accurate as Amazon ads in Instagram. Just cause I looked at it once to make a joke on Twitter doesn't mean I actually want to buy it.

In addition to the private sign in, YouPorn is launching a light theme option. If you aren't aware, YouPorn is a dark mode website by default. Personally, I believe that every single application in existence should have a dark mode option.

The YouPorn light theme is the natural opposite of dark mode in that it's illuminating. Perfect for viewing porn at the library or in a well lit space. If you live in your home office cave like me, you'll be sticking with dark mode. Of course, YouPorn didn't ask me first, so light mode will be on by default based on early response. Dark mode everything!

Both these updates show that YouPorn has no intention of just sitting around waiting for users to get around to viewing its content. YouPorn wants to create a user experience that is as secure as it is pleasurable to draw users into its delightfully erotic world. Private sign in and a light mode option are just the latest features offered by YouPorn as it continues to modernize your internet porn experience.
