Porn viewing spiked during Storm Jonas

While you may have spent Winter Storm Jonas sledding or watching Speaker Paul Ryan’s blizzard live stream, lots of other D.C. residents were partaking in some more, um, adult entertainment.

Porn viewership spiked by 23 percent over the course of the weekend, and reached its climax of 25 percent on Sunday. In comparison, viewership increased 6 percent in New York City on Sunday, GQ reported.

The data was collected from the adult website Pornhub.

Traffic also increased in D.C. by about 65 percent at 1 p.m. on Sunday and again at 10 p.m. on Sunday. No wonder everyone wanted Monday off.

These statistics shouldn’t be too surprising. DCist reported in 2013 that D.C. residents watched more porn on a normal day than residents in any other city.
