The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup was held this year in France and in the final match that took place on July 7th, the US team defeated the Netherlands 2 – 0. The US women’s team won the cup for this eighth edition of the quadrennial international football championship.
Journal du Geek asked our statisticians to take a look at how traffic across the involved countries was affected as fans dropped everything (including porn) to watch their favorite team play.
New York City’s 2019 Gay Pride Parade took place on June 30th. Not only was the parade attended by millions, more than 150,000 people took part in the parade procession. So naturally when Gay Star News asked if the New York celebrations had an effect on Pornhub’s traffic, our statisticians were able to see some significant results in our Analytics data.
The Insights team has studied a lot of interesting fetishes over the years including Sweat, Wedgies, Golden Showers, Cuckolding and Feederism. We first made note of the popularity of feet related searches when we revealed Sneaker Fetish data last year. So today we’re joined by Refinery29 to dive feet first into foot fetishes.
When Belle Delphine promised to set up her own Pornhub channel if one Instagram picture hit a million likes, her fans came through and the picture soon reached two million.
True to her word, Belle did create a Pornhub channel but put on her best troll hat and uploaded 12 videos that weren’t quite what her fans expected. In one video called ‘Belle Delphine strokes two big cocks’, she is seen cuddling two stuffed cockerels. Well cos-played Belle.
Searches for Belle grew by 7798% and have exceeded 4 million. Her 12 videos have racked up 1.7 million views in 24 hours, but quickly became the most disliked in Pornhub’s history when fans didn’t get what they bargained for.
Nonetheless, her channel(nsfw) now has 30,000 subscribers, perhaps hoping that someday she will decide to show tits instead of tricks.
Even if Belle didn’t quite deliver the goods, ‘cosplay‘ (NSFW) remains one of the top 30 searches on Pornhub with more than 30,000 video results. We’re pretty sure there’s something to suit everyone.
Pornhub Insights has covered traffic changes during the NBA finals a few times now (see our 2017, 2016, 2015 results) and each time the Golden State Warriors have been included in the data alongside the Cleveland Cavaliers. We often find that traffic to Pornhub drops down during live sporting events, especially in the cities that are home to the playing teams.
The 2019 Stanley Cup Final took place on June 12th, 2019 with the St-Louis Blues beating the Boston Bruins 4-1. For St-Louis it was the first Stanley Cup win in the team’s 51 year history, so it’s not surprising that Pornhub traffic plummeted as fans were busy watching the live game.
At the beginning of the game, the traffic drop was actually greater in Boston by -19% compared to -14% in St-Louis. But as the Blues racked up scores, it seems like many Boston viewers tuned out and headed back to watch Pornhub instead.
St. Louis traffic then dropped by a massive -23% in the last hour of the game as fans tuned in to see their team finally win the Stanley Cup. After the game, traffic quickly returned to normal levels in Boston, while St-Louis remained below average for a few hours as fans were busy celebrating their team’s win.
