The Rise of Alternative App Stores and Native Adult Content on Mobile Devices

The EU's requirement to support alternative app stores has opened up a whole new world of options. Thanks to the recent enforcement of the EU Digital Markets Act that requires Apple to support third-party app stores, if you live in the European Union, you can now have a dedicated pornography app on your iPhone for the first time ever. Hot Tub, a porn search engine, is the first native porn app that can be installed on iOS devices through legitimate means, per TechCrunch.

Hot Tub: A New Paradigm for iOS Software

Hot Tub, which is available through the alternative app store AltStore PAL, allows users to search and watch content across a number of popular porn sites including PornHub, XVideos, XNXX, and XHamster. The app is billed as “Porn Without the Pop-Ups,” as the app prevents the slew of shady advertisements that you’ll get served visiting these sites on a browser. It also saves you the hassle of having to open an Incognito tab for your search—though let’s be real, if you’re downloading a dedicated porn app, you’re not really all that worried about discretion.

Alternative app stores have been allowed on devices in the European Union since last year, but Hot Tub is still the first porn app to get all the way to market. That’s in part because Apple continues to maintain a Notarization process designed to ensure apps meet “baseline platform integrity standards.” The app, which was developed by developer and iPhone jailbreaker c1d3r, successfully went through the Notarization process and was approved for use on iOS.

Mobile Market Demand and Statistics

There is some evidence to suggest that folks are interested in breaking out of Apple’s walled garden approach to apps. A survey by MacPaw found that 80% of users expressed interest in trying a third-party app store. Also, maybe surprisingly, lots of people watch porn on their phones. Reportedly, 69% of porn viewership happens on smartphones, and an estimated 20% of all searches from mobile devices are porn related. So obviously there’s a market for Hot Tub’s services.

Educational NSFW Platforms and Software Options

If you're an adult and feel like your bedroom knowledge is lacking, you're not alone — and there are resources tailor-made for you.
