Government’s announcement of 21 days lockdown has turned the lives of Indian people upside down. Many are glued to the Internet as they have no place to go and few people attempting to have a good habit such as practicing yoga, meditation etc in these 21 days. The lockdown which ends on 14th April is likely to extend as the growing rate of positive Coronavirus cases are increasing day by day. So far, 4421 people in India got infected by the virus which killed more than 74,000 people all over the world. In India, the death toll has climbed to 114. The only intention of Indian government now is to avoid community spread in the country.

As we all are aware, schools, colleges are closed, major events have been cancelled, employees are advised to work from home. These instant change in the daily lives of people resulted in a lot of stress and of course additional free time, which has apparently raised the viewership of Pornhub. The fact came to light on Thursday, when the popular adult site released some statistics about how the pandemic made an impact on their web site’s traffic.

“As the Coronavirus pread around the world, Pornhub’s traffic did grow, but perhaps more interesting, we found people were choosing to visit the website at different times. On March 11, Porn hub’s worldwide traffic showed 5.7 % higher than usual for a Wednesday” the report said.

Authorities of Pornhub found that 2. a.m traffic on March 11 was 11 % higher than usual, while the 8. a.m traffic took a 9% lower than the average. “People who did not need to go to work the next day stayed up later and slept in longer than they normally would” Porhun authorities suspected.

On seeing this major change, the website had announced that it would offer free, premium content for users across several countries. “Stay home and help flatten the curve! Since COVID-19 continues to impact us all, Pornhub has decided to extend Free Pornhub Premium worldwide until April 23rd. So enjoy, stay home, and stay safe 🔥” one of their tweet on 24th March read
