Here are nine crazy stats that prove the world watched a whole lot of porn in 2016 [the last year for which Wisdom Quarterly has statistics.] This is a wrap up of the "year in porn" at just ONE popular American porn site.
The Observer has looked at the year in music, memes, food trends, Google searches, weird Reddit Secret Santa gifts, longform journalism, and more.
Naturally we can’t go into a new year without checking out the stats for porn at the hub of porn.
Americans watched more porn than ever, according to Pornhub’s 2016 “Year in Review.” The statistical report is packed with data about how much porn we watched, how much bandwidth this required, and even the dethroning of the previous Queen of Porn.
Check out these stats that show just how much porn we watched in 2016:
1. Nearly 92 billion videos were viewed.
 |
| Women watch, too. Blame Adam's Eve. |
A total of 91,980,225,000 videos were watched in 2016. That’s 12.5 for every person on Earth.
We watched 52,464 decades worth of porn in 2016.
2. In total, 4.6 billion hours of video were watched.
To put that into perspective, that’s 5,246 centuries’ worth of time [just at this one site, not in total]. That’s up 300 million hours from last year.
3. Pornhub had 64 million visitors to the site each day.
That’s 44,000 every minute, or 729 every second.
4. Supporting this much viewing used 3,110 petabytes of bandwidth.
 |
| I'm going blind with all this technology. |
A petabyte is equal to 1,024 terabytes, or a million gigabytes, which means a whopping 3,110,400,000 GBs were used. That’s enough data to fill 194 million 16GB USB sticks.
End-to-end, they would span all the way around the moon. By contrast, only 1,892 [up 1,218] petabytes were used in 2015.
The U.S. spent 24 more seconds on the site per visit on average in 2016.
The U.S. spent 24 more seconds on the site per visit on average in 2016.
5. The average user spent 9 minutes and 39 seconds on the site per visit.
 |
| I'm not average. I'm above average. Very above. |
In the U.S., the average user was on the site for 10 minutes and 15 seconds. In other places like the Philippines, users spent nearly 13 minutes on the site per visit.
6. Visitors stayed on the site longer than they did in 2015.
 |
| What are you looking at, perv? |
The time spent per visit increased for nearly every country Pornhub released this data for—16 in total. For the U.S., the time spent increased by 24 seconds.
For other countries like Argentina and Germany, the increase was more than 30 seconds. Only India, Russia, and Japan saw decreases.
7. The U.S. consumed the most porn on the site.
With 221, the U.S. came in on top with 221 per capita page views. Iceland followed with 202, then the U.K. with 189.
8. Virtual reality porn exploded in popularity.
 |
| Oh, just like the VCR, this is the way VR is going to become ubiquitous. I see, I see! |
.
 |
| Women love Coachella and Bottle Rock |
By year’s end (nine months later), the site was home to 1,800 VR videos and saw 38 million searches for VR content.
9. The most-searched pornstar of 2016 was…not Kim Kardashian.
 |
| I'm not as dumb as Nailin Palin |
This year, Kim K fell two spots in the rankings to land at Number 3, losing to older Sarah Palin-impersonator Lisa Ann and Muslim/Islamic actress Mia Khalifa (actually a lapsed Lebanese Catholic).
Kim K still has the most watched video of all time.
And she was the most searched among women and in the countries that consumed the most porn, like the U.S. and U.K.
 |
| Why don't you make me 1? |
She was also the most searched among women in France, Sweden, Belgium, South Africa, and the Netherlands, but Kardashian was not the most searched overall in 2016.
