<\/p>\nWe have all been hearing a lot about the repercussions of the General Election. The Tories have a minority government, them having to make a deal with the DUP, Labour doing better than expected but still losing. It is all becoming a little tedious, even for politics buffs like me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, it is maybe no surprise that our good friends from Pornhub have taken a different look at it, notably how the general Election affected porn viewing. The quick answer is, it went down!<\/p>\n
Figures from Pornhub\u00a0revealed that on election day, traffic was down in the UK by as much as 14% compared to a normal Thursday.<\/p>\n
However, there was one search that had a huge boost, and it really is no surprise to find out what it was.<\/p>\n
Porn star Teresa May became exceedingly popular. Searches rose by 128% on election day, and then 235% the day after. The porn one is certainly hotter than the PM, I am sure even the Prime Minister would admit that!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
On the website in general, there was a 4% drop in the morning as many people went out to vote. Funnily enough, traffic rose by about 10% during the afternoon, as people rewarded themselves for engaging in the democratic process.<\/p>\n
However, as the exit poll came at 10PM, they certainly saw a fall. Then, by 2AM there was something of a rise. Presumably this was because more people were awake than usual at that time of the night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When you take a look at the individual country stats, they are equally fascinating, especially in Scotland. <\/p>\n
Maybe it was down to the SNP collapsing and the intriguing goings on north of the border, but there was a big drop in porn viewing. There was a 17% drop in the morning and a whopping 20% drop around 1AM having begun a plummet around 10PM. However, by 2AM a rise started, as people either went on to Pornhub to celebrate, or give themselves a much needed cheering up (SNP voters, I am looking at you).<\/p>\n

It is amazing how much an event like a General Election can affect how much people masturbate. Thankfully we have Pornhub to help us with this information.<\/p>\n
