DC Federal Employees Spend Furlough Watching Porn Amidst Shutdown, Suggests Pornhub

Forced vacations or furloughs can get rather boring and disastrous especially if you work in an office. More so if you work in a government office. So, an unpaid furlough from the government office in the middle of a nationwide shutdown? Too stressful. How do federal employees de-stress? By watching porn, apparently, based on Pornhub’s statistics.

Pornhub has recently released their website traffic stats and it showed something unpresidented— sorry, unprecedented. The numbers displayed a sudden spike in Pornhub’s website logins from users in Washington D.C. While porn viewership rose up nationwide in the US, Washington D.C.’s traffic alone was suspect as it was higher than the nationwide average.

In fact, the Washington D.C.’s numbers were 6.32 percent higher than the week before the government shutdown. Oh, by the way, it’s not just the male federal employees, but also the female ones too, as Washington D.C.’s female traffic in Pornhub rose up to 12.3 percent during the shutdown.

There are other factors for the increase in porn viewership, though, such as the cold January winds. However, Pornhub also claimed that the traffic was consistently the highest during late night, perhaps because said federal employees did not have work in the morning. Among the top porn category search results in D.C. were “outdoors,” “threesome,” and “old/young.”

With the government shutdown entering its 27th day and as much as 800,000 federal employees with idle hands, this may not be too surprising. What’s surprising is that some people are finding the situation… erotic, for some reason, perhaps because the current administration “screwed” them over too much?
