Pop culture events like new movies and video games can often affect the type of porn that people search for. Super heroes in particular are as sexy as they are exciting, so it’s only natural that fans will want to fantasize about their favorite characters in sexual scenarios. As Super hero movies have grown in popularity over the last decade, so have high-budget porn parodies.

Ireland’s Traffic During Storm Emma
Winter storm Emma blasted Ireland with snow, causing much of the country to be shut down from March 1st to 3rd, 2018. Those who didn’t lose power (or were willing to give up precious battery life), found warmth in Pornhub, where traffic saw major increases compared to an normal period.
Some of the biggest changes were seen from 2am to 3am, which is similar to the traffic change on many holidays, when people stay up later knowing they don’t have to go to work the next day. On March 2nd, traffic at 3am was 68% higher than the same hour on an average Friday.
For much the same reason, traffic was below average those three days from 6am to 7am — a popular time for people to visit Pornhub before they get ready for work, and higher again from 9am to noon hour with Ireland’s citizens being hard at home rather than hard at work. March 1st also saw a large increase of 59% above average at 3pm.
Compare these results to Ireland’s traffic during Hurricane Ophelia in October 2017 and the hourly similarities are striking. In the United States, 2017’s Winter Storm Stella and 2015’s Winter Storm Juno showed much the same results.

Feederism Fetish: Making Gains
In today’s edition of Pornhub Insights, we’ll be taking a look at a fetish that’s been making some serious gains, as a part of a special report from our friends at UNILAD. Feederism is a sexual fetish which involves one partner (the feeder) feeding the other (the feedee) for sexual arousal. While the feeder is usually attracted to partners with a large body type, the fetish is considered to be more of a slave and master (BDSM) off-shoot.

What’s up on Insights today? Wedgies! Our statisticians have been digging deep to pull out all the wedgie data they can find as a part of a special partnership with our friends over at Metro UK. While wedgies are generally considered a not-so-pleasant experience in everyday life, it’s actually a fetish that brings pleasure to a lot of Pornhub visitors.
