HotMovies.com Donates to Kinsey Institute's Porn Collection |
PHILADELPHIA, PA — Love and desire come in many languages. Thanks to a donation from HotMovies.com to The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, the study of those languages includes adult DVDs from Japan, Italy, Germany, Turkey and France. As the world’s largest video-on-demand provider, HotMovies accumulates hundreds of thousands of adult DVDs for encoding purposes. While the company keeps a hardcopy of each of the 150,000+ movies on the site, sometimes providers send duplicates. During HotMovies’ nine years in business, it has gathered a large number of duplicates; some estimate as many as 10,000. “We wanted to send these DVDs where they would be preserved,” said HotMovies director of business development, James Cybert. “The Kinsey Institute has been contributing to the science of human sexuality for more than 60 years. They have an impressive archive of academic studies; erotic art from all over the world and, now, foreign language erotic DVDs from HotMovies for future study.” The Kinsey Institute has an impressive library of material related to human sexuality. Its erotic art collection includes all kinds of pieces from all over the world and spans 2,000 years of human history. The Kinsey Library also boasts a photography collection of over 48,000 images. The HotMovies DVD archive still contains thousands of extra DVDs that still need a good home. “We’re still looking for a non-profit organization to give these to,” said Cybert. “If you can suggest a charity that deserves a contribution, contact us with details.”
