PornHub's 'Bangfit' Program Uses Sexy Exercise To Build Muscle (mashable.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Mashable: A new program created by PornHub called "BangFit" features 'sexercises' that allow players to build and tone muscle. Instead of forcing people to go the gym, Bangfit users simply practice sexual exercises, otherwise known as actual sex. Finally, you can gyrate and hump your way to the body of your dreams. BangFit users follow along with videos as they execute positions like the "squat and thrust" and "missionary press." Players can sync their phones to the workout in order to track their progress and measure the amount of calories burned. While the concept sounds simply gimmicky, BangFit says they designed the app using real science and professionals in the field. PornHub is also retailing an adjustable band that keeps your smartphone closer to to your body, making it easier for the gyroscope to track your movements (judge your performance?). Anytime you complete a level, PornHub congratulates you on your success with a phrase like, "You're the gymanastiest," which is simultaneously rewarding and disgusting.

  5. Sense of humour by Gaygirlie · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I love Pornhub-folks' sense of humour: they often have hilarious and creative ad-campaigns and posters and whatnot and they seemingly fully condone of the various silly shenanigans the community decides to randomly whip up. I have no need for Pornhub's content myself, but I do like their attitude and I wish more companies were as creative and funny with their marketing -- at least Pornhub's stuff nearly always gets a hearty chuckle out of me, instead of making me go all frownyface and groaning out loud in annoyance like most advertising does!

  7. Why is this on slashdot? by clockley(571021718) · · Score: 2

    What does a exercise routine developed by a porn site have anything to do with tech. If the article show was about a clinical trial examining the claim of the creators or the tech used to develop this rather unusual exercise plan I would understand, only the method of delivery has any relation to tech which is hardly novel to anyone on slashdot. This article is just an attempt the get more people to examin their content.

    I mean, we all know everyone wants to see the skaters bang each other like crazy.

    Good luck with that.

    Anyway, for sheer entertainment, I think having the Bulgarian weight-lifting team bang each other would be better.
