People need ways to entertain themselves during the lockdown

According to the statistics, there was a massive increase in the number of people watching porn during the first round of total lockdown. Now, when most countries are strengthening limitations again, people need something to endure this, especially considering the holiday season.

Watching porn might not be the best way to spend the surplus of free time, but it is still better than nothing. That is why the activity of users is expected to surge further in these new lockdowns that are being imposed. Porn websites are taking this advantage to collect money in the form of cryptocurrency from clients who watch their videos online.

The impact of Coronavirus plague on porn habits

Due to the increase in loneliness, stress and social isolation, people tend to develop pornography habits. Google revealed that among the top 5 popular pornography site visited during the Covid-19 pandemic period from January 9 to May 25 2020 include xHamster, Porn, xVideos, XNXX and PornHub. 

Among the countries that visited these websites so often include China, Italy, Spain, France, United States, Sweden, respectively. These were among the countries that were hit first by Coronavirus, so they imposed lockdowns first than other nations. Some sites such as Pornhub offered free premium access for that period.

The country registered a 95% increase in traffic to adult websites during the one-month lockdown.

Leaders in different European countries including Germany, Czech Republic, Germany have so far put a ban on nonessential activities and mass gatherings for over two months – December 2020 and January 2021, to reduce the spread of Covid-19 during the festive season.

This might force people to seek for virtual means of entertainment, including watching porn. Most services offer premium benefits with a wide variety of payment methods, including cryptocurrency.
