The energy crisis could be over – after Pornhub tapped into one of the world’s great unused reservoirs of energy.

Ever keen to stay classy, Pornhub has called their gizmo the ‘Wankband’.

The site urges users to ‘Create dirty energy,’ by wearing the Wankband while, ah, self-pleasuring – and has urged users to come up with their own ideas using the hashtag #wankband.
