The elements of individual difference variables associated with pornography consumption are sensation seeking, dispositional sexual affect (erotophobia–erotophilia), and narcissistic traits (entitlement). Individual difference variables representing personality traits are emerged as motivators of pornography consumption. However, more specifically, the consumption of high-volume pornography is considered to be motivated by several factors. This huge amount of pornography consumption can be attributed to have pleasure as a part of masturbation. However, these measures may also lead to increases in social isolation, loneliness, and stress, which can alter the consumption of pornography habits.
Īs the coronavirus continues to spread globally, social distancing, self-isolation/quarantine, and national lockdowns have become the cores to control the pandemic. These data are supported by one of the most popular porn website, PornHub, as reported over 39 billion searches and 42 billion visits during 2019, suggesting 115 million visits and 18,073 terabytes of data transferred per day. Today, it has been considered that 46–74% of men and 16–41% of women are active pornography users in modern nations. Internet pornography consumption has been increasing due to the widespread use of the internet and become very common practice among people.
In conclusion, we demonstrated an increased interest in pornography and coronavirus-themed pornography after the outbreak of COVID-19 in nations with a straight “stay at home orders”. As strengths this study uses a big data technology to collect worldwide trend of interest, however, data are anonymous and do not allow analysis of subpopulation groups. All the nations had a significant increase in WRSV coronavirus-themed pornography for each keyword ( p < 0.01) with an AWPC, ranging worldwide between 18.5 and 61.8 ( p < 0.01), after the beginning of self-quarantine. The WRSV percentage change with the historical data had a peak during the straight nations’ lockdowns ( p < 0.01). The mean WRSV for keywords in USA and Sweden did not show a similar increase as the other nations. “PornHub” and “Porn” showed the highest increase of interest worldwide with an average weekend percentage change (AWPC) of 4.9 and 3.8, respectively. The research trend of almost every keyword increased with significant inflection points for those nations with a straight “stay at home orders” (China, Italy, Spain, and France). Paired t-test was used to compare WRSV values among the porn websites during the national lockdowns and the equivalent timespan of the weeks in the previous 4 years. Comparisons of week relative search volume (WRSV) and temporal patterns were analyzed to assess the change of interest in search terms during nations lockdowns. We analyzed every search trend on Google® from Januto using “joint point regression analysis”. Google Trends® was employed to determine the most popular porn websites (Porn, XNXX, PornHub, xVideos, and xHamster), and coronavirus-themed pornography worldwide and in six nations with different COVID-19 outbreak and self-isolation recommendations. The aim of the study was thus to explore the interest pattern in pornography and coronavirus-themed pornography during the COVID-19 outbreak. As the COVID-19 spread globally, social distancing, self-isolation/quarantine, and national lockdowns have become crucial to control the pandemic.
