Contrary to what people like Utah Gov. Gary Herbert say about porn, the adult entertainment industry has produced a number of positives. XHamster recently blocked access to its X-rated content for North Carolina users in protest of the state’s anti-LGBT laws and have urged users to sign a petition to repeal the bill instead. Outside of politics, PornHub is doing you a solid and letting you stream their videos on your TV for free. It’s also delving into technology by serving up free virtual reality porn.

Obviously, someone missed the memo on proper emoji etiquette. #PeopleAreNotFoods.
