This article (*) is only a brief excerpt from an interview with Fabian Thylmann, the man who sponsors 16 million orgasms a month.

Fabian Thylmann, is programmer computer, entrepreneur and investor and creator of: YouPorn, RedTube and PornHub.

Thylmann, is considered worldwide The Mark Zuckerberg of Porn.

Fabian, of German origin, founded Manwin, the company with which he got to invoice 100 million dollars.

His idea was to offer porn free and very simply: copied the model of the tubes (video aggregators, such as Yotube) and applied to one of the most successful industries in the world. The result was incredible.

He currently lives in Tervuren, a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Brussels, Belgium, installing colorful furniture and chairs, Google-style, in a new office of 1000 square meters.

At the time of your reading this post, PornHub is receiving 6700 hits per second. That is, there are 12 times more people masturbating than uploading photos to Instagram.

However, for 3 years he retired from the porn industry.

Thylmann did not fit well into this world of orgies, kilometer penises and Asian mature women who enjoy anal sex.

“I was never like someone like Hefner or Flynt. I met all of them, and that was one of the reasons I was able to do everything I did. The key was that I could run the business purely as a business, nothing more “

He is a geek; and he is closer to being the “Mark Zuckerberg of Porn” than the “boss of lust,” as some magazines called him.
