When it comes to pornography, it is easy to assume that you know everything about it. That is until you stumble upon this article. Here are five fascinating things you probably don’t know about porn.
1. Porn over movies
According to List25, a new porn film is produced every 39 minutes in the United States.
Generally, 13,000 adult videos are produced every year while Hollywood releases 507 movies. The porn industry ends up making over $13 billion dollars while the movie business amasses only 8.8 billion.
Reportedly, the porn industry also makes more money than The National Football League, The National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball , NBC, CBS, and ABC combined.
2. Politics and porn go together
A surprising link between presidential elections and porn consumption has been discovered.
In 2004, there was an increase in porn related internet searches in conservative states (red states) after President George W. Bush won the election.
History repeated itself in 2008 when Barack Obama won. There was a surge in porn related searches in liberal states (blue states) after the election.
3. Work and porn also mix well
20% of American men have admitted to accessing pornography at work. In related news, 10% of adults have also admitted to having an online porn addiction.
4. Porn gets clicks by the second
About 30,000,000 unique visitors can be found viewing porn by the second of every day. In the United States, there are over 68 million daily searches for pornography. This makes about 25% of all daily searches.
This makes sense when you consider the fact that about half of the Internet is made up of porn or porn related content.
5. Porn is surprisingly about the face
Contrary to what you might expect, men somehow manage to ignore the boobs, ass and focus on a woman’s face while watching porn.
