Porn consumption stats: Who's dining?


If the internet was an entity it would be a porn addict. The proof is in the profits. You need your fix and there are millions of options to choose from.

Buffet style, exotic cuisine, the obscene and everything in between. It’s disposable, fast food consumption and it’s interesting to note although we often turn to idealized fantasy in our sexual romps through cyber space (ie. Waxed, fake bodies, synchronized orgasms, non-stop jackhammer intercourse, and prolific moans) a movement of amateur, independent porn is emerging too.

For those of us who want to see people fucking who have some believable chemistry, real orgasms and less-than-perfect bodies there are other options, like feminist porn. With a mandate of real pleasure, women run production companies and mainstream stereotype challenging material it’s an organic alternative to the mickey D’s fare. But tastes vary, so here are some interesting statistics about the porn we consume.

Amount of pornographic websites: 4.2 million (12% of websites)

Daily search engine requests that are pornographic: 68 million (25% of total requests)

US adults who regularly visit pornography on the web: 40 million

Visitors to pornography sites who are male: 72%

Visitors to pornography sites who are female: 28%

1 in 3 visitors to adult sites are women


Statistics should be conveyed this way more often.
