    Study Notes

    The Impact of Technology and COVID-19 on Pornography Consumption

    • 78% of the surveyed sample had previously seen pornography, with young men more likely to have actively sought it out the first time they viewed it compared to young women.
    • 56% of young men surveyed viewed pornography at least once per week over the past 12 months, with 17% indicating daily viewing, while 15% of young women reported at least weekly usage, with 1% indicating daily viewing.
    • In 2019, nearly 6,650 centuries of porn were consumed on Pornhub, despite it being banned in multiple countries and platforms.
    • The global porn industry is estimated at $97 billion, with around $12 billion coming from the U.S., and as of May 2021, porn sites received more website traffic in the U.S. than Twitter, Instagram, Netflix, Pinterest, and LinkedIn combined.
    • Technological developments in the late 1980s made the widespread distribution and consumption of pornography possible.
    • Consumption of pornography has been increasing across birth generations, beginning in the 1980s cohort, due to technological advancements making it cheaper and easier to manufacture sexually explicit material and platforms to deliver it.
    • The COVID-19 pandemic led to increases in traffic to pornographic websites, with searches for "coronavirus" on Pornhub first appearing on January 25th, 2020, and peaking on March 25th when free Premium access was offered in multiple countries.
    • From February to March 2020, all 27 countries for which data were provided showed increases in porn use, with more substantial increases observed in jurisdictions where Pornhub made its premium services free.
    • In Australia, the number of COVID-19 cases was around 28,500 up to the end of 2020, with distinct peaks in March/April and June to September, affecting pornography consumption.
    • Empirical evidence shows that the daily search volume for "pornography" increased after late March 2020, close to the date when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, with a positive correlation between daily new cases of COVID-19 and the traffic of Pornhub.
    • The daily relative search volume for "pornography" was positively correlated with the number of daily new cases of COVID-19, and the impact of the RSV for "social distancing" in predicting Pornhub traffic and RSV for "pornography" was significant.
    • Legal and/or disciplinary actions may be taken if the material is shared without the university’s written permission.
