Pornhub traffic continues to surge amid coronavirus outbreak

Adult entertainment e-commerce site Pornhub has released the sixth instalment of its coronavirus updates.

In the latest one, it takes a look at how its traffic levels have changed since the last update on 30th April.

Worldwide traffic to Pornhub continues to be much higher than it was before the coronavirus pandemic spread worldwide. The peak increase of 24.4% happened on 25th March after the company offered free Pornhub Premium to encourage people to say indoors and distance themselves socially.

Traffic began to increase sooner in Europe than other parts of the world, as the crisis intensified. Changes became noticeable much later in the United States, as it joined Europe with quarantines, social distancing and work-at-home efforts encouraged or required by most states.

Even with some state relaxing their quarantines and allowing some people to return to work, Pornhub’s traffic has stayed much higher than it was in February.

Traffic in the United Kingdom, meanwhile, continues to remain much higher than before the Covid-19 outbreak. On 22nd May, it was still 24.3% higher, and close to the peak increase on 25th March when free Pornhub Premium was offered.

Pornhub Apparel

Another week of staying home to combat the coronavirus means Pornhub Apparel continues to give away free Stayhomehub products.

Powered by Shopify, the venture, which launched in 2015, unveiled a range of coronavirus lockdown-related items a few months ago, with all collection sales going to the WHO Solidarity Response Fund. And it has been running a Twitter competition involving free items, most recently a hoodie.
