On November 5, as millions of Americans engaged in casting their votes, many also turned to X-rated entertainment. Pornhub reported a significant surge in its site traffic across the U.S. on Election Day 2024, with particular spikes in several states. Interestingly, South Carolina led the trend with traffic that rose 21% above average. The District of Columbia followed closely, recording an 18% increase in viewership, showing that voters found time for a quick online diversion between civic duties.
This data, shared by Pornhub on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), highlighted a notable Election Day trend despite the platform’s restricted access in a few U.S. states. The report has sparked discussions online, with many humorously noting that Americans found a way to de-stress amid the political intensity.
