Porn Time is exactly what you think: Popcorn Time for porn

Popcorn Time, the infamous app for streaming video torrents, now has a naughty cousin: Porn Time. As you might expect, Porn Time handles pornographic movies for you: Instead of you using a torrent client and a media player, the app handles grabbing the torrent file, downloading the content, and running the playback all in one.

Porn Time is currently available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The developers say they are planning to release Android and iOS versions, just like Popcorn Time, in the next week or so.

“Porn Time works exactly the same as Popcorn Time does, only the content is all porn,” lead developer “Richard” told VentureBeat. “Porn Time users can enjoy the latest, hottest porn movies instantly and in HD quality, with just a click of a button. Just like with Popcorn Time, the content can be cast directly to the big screen with Chromecast or Airplay.”

The developers point out that the Internet is for porn, but at first glance Porn Time’s launch doesn’t make a lot of sense. After all, unlike Hollywood movies and mainstream TV shows, high-quality pornography is readily available to stream for free online. There are plenty of sites that serve pornographic videos without having users sign up, download, or pay anything.

Yet Popcorn Time’s developers says that their users have been requesting a porn version (“it’s all over Popcorn Time’s social channels” apparently). And so, over a year after Popcorn Time debuted, Porn Time has been built using Popcorn Time code.

Porn Time currently uses pornleech as its main source for torrents, but more sources will be added over the next few months. Just like Popcorn Time, Porn Time is an open source project (the source will be posted “very soon”), and the developers hope the community will help with the app’s features and content.

While Porn Time is not likely to be anywhere near as popular as Popcorn Time, it’s a stark reminder of the developers’ dedication to the concept. Apps that make downloading and watching torrents easier than ever are here to stay.

Update on June 18: Porn Time is now available for Android.
