Pornhub Sued by Deaf Man Over Lack of Closed Captioning in Videos

Pornhub has shut one man out of enjoying his favorite naked vids to their full potential -- and violating federal law in the process -- so he's filed a class-action lawsuit.

Yaroslav Suris is suing the popular porn site claiming it's denied the deaf and hearing-impaired access to its videos that others can easily enjoy. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Suris says a lack of closed captioning violates their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In docs, Suris says the deaf and hearing impaired can't understand the audio portion of videos on the websites. Some of the titles Suris says he watched but was completely lost on dialogue -- "Hot Step Aunt Babysits Disobedient Nephew," "Sexy Cop Gets Witness to Talk" and "Daddy 4K -- Allison comes to Talk About Money to Her Boys' Naughty Father."

What's more ... Suris says he and those in similar situations would shell out dough for Pornhub's premium subscription but calls it pointless without closed captioning. #Priorities

He's suing to get Pornhub to be inclusive and add closed captioning ... plus damages. We've reached out to Pornhub for comment, so far, no word back.

I guess it can be if someone is addicted to it.

If I owned Porn Hub, I would troll this asshole by very strategically placing the captioning directly over all of the "interesting parts."

I'll sue Yaroslav for not being able to hear.

Yeah I agree really, better to be without it.

It puts the thrill back in chasing real pussy....

Great, Wiggsian post!

I stopped watching porn last May. It didn't impact me very much because I was never a big porn viewer. But ultimately, I'm happy I did it.

you should re-read what you wrote, slowly.

This guy is probably part of an anti-pron group.

Hmm...not related to your comment, but are you insinuating that you consume pornography, Rob?

As for my comment - what I mean is...even though I was never a big viewer of porn, I'm happy that I stopped watching it. I just feel...almost more clean to not watch it...you know?

I'm just not so sure if overall, pornography is a societal good. It may not have ever impacted me very much, but by watching whatever porn I did, I ultimately contributed to the aggregate demand which results in pornography being produced in the first place.

So even though not watching porn didn't have much impact on me, I am happy that I am no longer contributing to the demand that results in more of its production.

Does that make sense?

PS - you don't watch porn...do you, Rob? Feel free to PM me the answer, or not answer, if it makes you uncomfortable.

No need for scorn if he doesn't want porn.

Porn is mental poison. I definitely enjoy pussy and chasing it for that matter much more when I abstain. It's always the same outcome once I started jerking it daily to porn, less interest in the old lady, and our sex life gets hindered.

This poison is only manageable for those with high libidos, anybody inbetween is going to suffer from the effects it has on your relationships and refractory period.

Only married men will benefit from this shit, because if you dont know what masterbation is you will soon enough.

Get your girl to watch with you and makes sex life better. Wife loves lesbian porn, definitely keeps things interesting after a 10 year relationship.

I am not a porn addict but I do not see how it is a "mental poison", I don't even know what that is supposed to mean?
