Scarier than any clown sightings is the news that Pornhub has seen massive spikes of interest in clown porn.
What is Pornhub?
Sure, you have no idea. Pornhub is the world’s leading online collection of pornography. Annually, the site gets almost 88 billion video views and has 8 million subscribers. Most impressive is the average visit duration of over nine minutes showing people enjoy the storylines. Pornhub also, from time to time, release some extremely interesting insights data – like this interest in clown porn.
What insights has Pornhub released?
Considering clowns are widely feared, many would appear to have quite the clown fetish too. Pornhub has announced a 213% increase in clown related searches on their site. The variety of these searches is impressive, to say the least.
Yes, you’re reading that right – “clown fart”. It’s also interesting to see that women are 33% more likely to search for clown porn than men. Pornhub, being sticklers for details, also looked at searches before users searched for clowns. Two terms appeared here that we were simply waiting for – “Harley Quinn” and “Ronald McDonald”.
Why is there an increased interest in clown porn?
The timing of the interest is no coincidence.
Halloween parties are within touching distance. Typically, people are already planning their costumes. Unfortunately, many have decided to get clown costumes and were unable to wait to try them on. Then, in full creepy clown attire, some people have been standing out in public scaring others. A few have taken this too far and attracted substantial media attention, including comments from the White House.
Naturally, this has led to people looking up clowns on Pornhub. Makes total sense right? Personally, Twisty the Clown from American Horror Story is our favourite.
