With the coronavirus forcing entire families to stay at home, you may have less privacy now to view porn on your PC. To help you avoid getting caught, an adult website has introduced a “Panic Button” that’ll immediately send your browser to a benign web page.

The button can be found on ImLive.com, a sex cam site that introduced the feature on Wednesday. Since the coronavirus pandemic began, ImLive has noticed a 15 percent uptick in traffic, which it attributes to so many people working at home.

The only problem is that some users now face higher chances of getting caught in the act of watching porn at home, according to ImLive. “Models have started reporting that users are abruptly asking to ‘cut off’ chats because another person suddenly enters the room,” it said in today’s announcement.

So the site has come up with a dedicated panic button to help users keep their porn habits private from family members or roommates who drop in unannounced.

“Now, users who are on ImLive.com, whether they are browsing or in the middle of a cam session with a model, can click the Panic Button and they will be transferred to a more safe-for-work website, like Forbes.com or ESPN.com,” the site said.

The button itself says “Kill Screen,” and can be customized with whatever URL you choose, although the default site will be CDC.gov. The button will also be present on both desktop and mobile browsers, and will immediately override live streams you may be viewing over the site.

If you press panic button, the adult model on the other end of the cam session will receive a notification about your exit. To return to the session, simply click the back button on your browser.

“Amidst the coronavirus and the quarantines that are being put into effect, it’s important that people still enjoy themselves,” said ImLive.com VP Adrian Stoneman in a statement. “Now people can engage in adult interactions without getting caught, and get off with confidence.”

"This is a legitimately real feature we are announcing, not an April Fool's joke," the site added.
