Coachella Festival Insights

For two weekends in April, over 100,000 music lovers head to Indio California for one of the greatest annual music festivals: Coachella. Indio is part of the greater Palm Springs area, and the influx of visitors causes a large increase in Pornhub Traffic over the course of just a few days.

From Friday April 14 to 16, our statisticians found an overall 8% increase in Palm Springs metro area traffic (which includes Indio and the Coachella Valley). Sunday had the largest increase of 9% above average levels. On the second weekend, traffic increased by 9% with only a 4% change on Friday but 11% on Saturday and 12% on Sunday.

This left millions of people at home with nothing else to do but wait out the storm… and to visit Pornhub!

Women and Tech

International Women’s Day is Wednesday, March 8th, so in this edition of Pornhub Insights we’re once again taking a look at how women consume porn differently than their male counterparts. In the past we’ve studied Women’s Favorite Searches, their love for lesbian (nsfw) and gay porn in our Women Searching for Women and Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys posts, and even how women differ in certain countries like Ireland and Colombia.

As we discovered in our recent Year in Review, women account for around 26% of visitors to Pornhub. That level of traffic was enough to cause a massive drop in Pornhub visits during the Women’s March in January 2017. Because some would argue that the medium is as important as the message, in this edition of Insights we will be taking a look at the various technologies that women use to watch porn, and how that compares to men.
