Love and marriage, love and marriage. They go together like a… Porno video? The new movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates was just released, so with that in mind Bustle asked the Pornhub Insights team to take a look at porn searches related to weddings. So please join us as we come together to celebrate this holy faprimony.
Patriotic Porn – America vs Canada
For both Americans and Canadians, the beginning of July is a time for celebration with family, friends and neighbors. July 1st is Canada Day up North, and July 4th is Independence Day down South. In both countries, citizens show their national patriotism by enjoying the sunshine, drinking beer and stuffing lots and lots of hot wieners into buns. Our friends at Bustle asked if the abundance of national patriotism has an effect on each nation’s porn habits, and which country shows their stars, stripes or maple leafs more strongly?
Austria and the Euro 2016
Heute.at contacted us to see how traffic to Pornhub was affected when Austria tuned into the Euro 2016 games. Of course Austrians were most interested in the games in which Austria was playing, with a drop of nearly 30% during Match 36 on June 22 against Iceland. There was an equal amount of interest in Match 34 between Hungary and Portugal, similar to the 28% drop for Match 24 when Portugal played Austria.
Orange is the New Fap
Season 4 of Orange is the New Black premiered on Netflix on Friday, June 17 so our friends at Cinema Blend asked if the show had any effect on Pornhub visitor’s habits. Because the whole season arrived at once, we can only assume that fans binge watched it over the next 3 days. Everyone needs a break though, and it seems that people found plenty of time for Pornhub in between episodes.
2016 NBA Finals
The NBA championship game took place on June 19th with the Cleveland Cavaliers playing the Golden State Warriors, so our friends at The Daily Dot inquired to see if the game had an effect on people’s porn habits. Compared to a normal Sunday, Pornhub’s traffic during the game was down -10% across the United States, including the San Francisco Bay Area. Cleveland’s traffic was down -20% for the first half of the game, but then plummeted by -47% towards the end. Why such a drastic drop? Fap time clearly gave way to clap time as people all over Cleveland tuned in to see the Cavaliers snag the first pro sports championship title the city has had in 52 years. Congrats Cleveland!
Traffic increased rapidly after the game ended, reaching above average levels in the hours following. Folks in Cleveland were feeling pretty good, so Pornhub’s traffic there was up 20% above normal Sunday levels by midnight.
Who’s Your Daddy?
Father’s Day is right around the corner, so Vocative asked Pornhub’s statisticians to see if the daddy of all days has any effect on Pornhub’s visitors. In the past we found that Mother’s Day made MILFs more popular, Easter caused a leap in bunny searches, and people had some interesting things in mind on Valentines Day. With that in mind, we checked results for Father’s Day in 2015 and found that searches containing “dad” or “daddy” shot up an amazing +1361%!
