When you think of Pornhub, you probably think of porn, right? The site is wall-to-wall porn for good reason. But a math teacher named Changshu noticed that something was missing: math.
“With very few people teaching math on adult video platforms and with so many people watching videos on them, I thought if I uploaded my videos there, a lot of people would see them,” said Changshu Mel magazine (above Gigazine). He has tried teaching his lessons on other adult platforms like XVideos, but these sites don’t seem to allow clips for non-adults. Pornhub is way more welcoming.
Under the handle changhsumath666, the 34 year old math teacher started uploading his lessons to Pornhub. His verified account has received over 1.7 million views and has the slogan “Play Hard, Study Hard!”.
Every video is surrounded by ads like “Live Sex”, but in Changshu’s videos the only things that are explicit are numbers. He appears clip by clip in his gray hoodie and glasses, carefully explaining things like the differential methods in his native Mandarin.
“People may not be interested in my videos, but they all know that there is a teacher who teaches arithmetic on an adult video platform,” he added. He estimates that well over half of his viewers come for the novelty of seeing hard math taught on Pornhub. That means the rest of its viewers could learn Calculus on an adult platform.
The goal is to get viewers to sign up for Changshu’s online course, which will earn him over $ 250,000 a year to pay his staff and produce math videos.
“I didn’t want to teach math on Pornhub,” he says Mel magazine. “I wanted to let the world know that I am a teacher from Taiwan who is good at teaching math.” Hey, who said math wasn’t sexy?
