The San Diego Comic-Con took place from July 20th to 23rd 2017. What began as a small gathering of 145 comic fans in 1970, has grown exponentially to become one of the world’s largest pop-culture expositions including comics, movies, horror, anime, collectibles and video games. It now attracts nearly 150,000 visitors annually to the San Diego area. Our friends at Gizmodo checked in to see if Comic Con and it’s visitors had any effect on Pornhub’s searches.

While people were visiting the San Diego area, we found that searches containing “comic con” increased 2767% over the 4 days, when compared to normal search levels leading up to the convention.

Other searches that increased in San Diego during the convention include “anime big tits” which grew by 382%, “cosplay” up 166%, superhero up 137% and “gamer girl” up 81%.

Porn parodies are a popular genre on Pornhub and related searches often increase in popularity when new movies or games are released. To learn more, take a look at our other Insights posts including Super Hero Porn, Star Wars Searches and Overwatch.

The highly anticipated Game of Thrones Season 7 premiered on Sunday July 16, so our friends at Cinema Blend checked in to see what effect it had on Pornhub’s traffic during the first episode. Our statisticians found that across the United States, traffic to Pornhub was down by 4.5% during the airing. That’s a considerable change in visitors as Sunday night is one of the most popular times for people to visit Pornhub.

The first episode of Season 6 in April of 2016 resulted in a smaller -4.1% traffic drop. Episode 4 had a -4.9% drop in traffic, but the Season 6 Finale on June 26 resulted in a massive -5.2% traffic drop, when compared to an average Sunday evening before that season began airing.

We’ll be following up to see how the complete Season 7 compares to Season 6.  In the meantime, to see how other live events can affect traffic to Pornhub, please check out our recent Insights on the Comey & Sessions Senate Testimonies, NBA Finals and Superbowl 51.

Pornography of any sort is officially banned in North Korea, but Google Analytics does still report regular incoming traffic — albeit only a few thousand visitors to Pornhub over the course of 2016 and 2017. While much less than the 80 million visitors arriving at Pornhub each and every day, it’s still enough traffic for our statisticians to make some generalizations about what type of porn is most often watched in North Korea, and how it’s consumed. The folks at Inverse checked in to see what Insights we found.

The most searched for terms from North Korea include many different nationalities including “Chinese”, “Mongolian”, “Japanese”, “Korean”, “Swedish” and “Indonesian”.

The most viewed categories of porn include Japanese, Asian, Big Tits and Cartoon. The Korean category falls into ninth spot. Most other countries we have studied tend to search for and view porn featuring their fellow citizens more than any other type, so this may support the idea that searches in North Korea are coming from foreign visitors to the country.

While the tablet proportion of traffic (11%) is consistent with most other parts of the world, North Korea’s smartphone traffic (36%) is much smaller than elsewhere, and desktop/laptop traffic still accounts for more than half of all visits. Worldwide, mobile devices account for more than 75% of all traffic to Pornhub.

Worldwide traffic from iPhone and Android mobile devices is roughly equal (with Android slightly in the lead), but in North Korea Apple devices are 2.5x more popular than Android. Desktop traffic from MacOS accounts for a larger proportion of traffic in North Korea compared to worldwide, where most people are still using Windows based computers.

Worldwide, Google’s Chrome browser makes up 51% of all traffic coming to Pornhub, but in North Korea it’s much less at 32%. Much of that difference is made up with Apple’s Safari browser, accounting for 32% in North Korea but only 9% elsewhere in the world.
