Elmhurst, Illinois, you perverts!
Today, we were alerted to Internet Pornography Statistics, a website devoted to compiling mildly outdated info on how the world searches for porn.
Among its most interesting revelations: China makes billions more on porn than the United States does...
1) China made $27.41 billion from porn in 2006, while the United States made $13.33 billion. (The US still beats the Chinese in the per capita category by 17 billion dollars.)
2) These figures are striking:
|
Every second - $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography |
| |
Every second - 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography [only 28K?!] |
| |
Every second - 372 Internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines |
| |
Every 39 minutes: a new pornographic video is being created in the United States |
...especially the part about every 39 minutes. Obviously, this doesn't include sex tapes, which are created every 14 minutes by celebrities.
3) The American city with the most searches for "porn": Elmhurst, IL, followed by Stockton, CA and Meriden, CT.
4) The top search phrase in the porn category was the word "sex." Surprisingly, "adult dating" was second and "porn" a distant third, with a 3% drop from 2005. We wonder what's #1 now? "Kim Kardashian ass," perhaps?
5) More females searched for the terms "Adult dating," "teen sex," and "free sex" than guys did. "Adult dating" and "adult sex" seem to be the search terms females use the most and the percentage of women in each category (18-24, 50+, etc.) spread almost evenly across the spectrum.
6) Guys and girls agree on a few things: the search terms "XXX," "Group sex," "Sex ads," "Sexy," and "Sex chat" were used almost evenly among men and women. There is some hope for us after all...
