PORN.COM Use Up After XXX Sites Ban North Carolina

20160412-PDC-BLOG-Use Up After XXX Sites Ban North Carolina

It’s been quite a week if you live in North Carolina or follow LGBT rights. The internet has been on fire following the passing of the controversial House Bill 2 (HB2) on March 23rd. This new piece of legislation robs citizens of North Carolina of protection against discrimination based on sexuality and many notable brands and celebrities have boycotted North Carolina or have taken to social media as a show of solidarity. Thus far, Bruce Springsteen has cancelled tour dates in North Carolina, PayPal has back-pedaled on opening an operations center in the state and now notable porn sites have started blocking users from North Carolina IPs. Due to these recent blocks, there has been a notable increase in PORN.COM use from the Tar Heel State.

Details on North Carolina’s “Bathroom Bill”

HB2 aka the “Bathroom Bill” was passed in the North Carolina state legislature after only 12 hours of debate and was introduced only a month after the city of Charlotte passed a measure to protect those in the LGBT community. HB2 was written to supersede any local non-discrimination measures and does focus on gender and the use of public bathrooms. It depends greatly on an individual’s biological sex opposed to the gender they identify with.

PORN.COM Supports North Carolina Porn Lovers

Some notable adult brands and video tube sites have jumped on the bandwagon and have taken steps to push the NC legislature to reverse their decision. Blocking access to their product and content is often the only option online brands have to make their voices heard. At PORN.COM we know that the opinions of a handful of close-minded legislators should not impact how citizens of that state enjoy adult content. Because of this fact, we have not nor will we restrict access to PORN.COM if a user is in North Carolina or not.

North Carolina Porn Lovers Flock to PORN.COM

Thanks to other adult brands applying a block to North Carolina users, there’s been a notable increase in traffic to PORN.COM from the area. The people have spoken and require an outlet for all their XXX needs and we’re more than happy to deliver!

Spike in Porn Use - North Carolina Bathroom Bill

What’s more interesting is the surge in Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual-specific searches from North Carolina over the past few hours. Our statistics department has been hard at work tracking the surge and where the largest increases are detected.

Porn Use - North Carolina, Gay, Bi, Transexual

There’s no surprise the the most notable surge is in Charlotte and the surrounding area. We’ve also detected significant spikes from Raleigh, and Greenville. These all represent an increase in targeted traffic of 35% or above.

Just The facts Ma’am

Each major metropolitan area in North Carolina tends to differ slightly on what LGBT terms rank as the most searched. When we breakdown our data further we see what gets the folks in the Tar Heel State all Tingly!

Charlotte, NC – Gay Sex, Transsexual

In Charlotte, nothing beats out good ol’ gay sex when it comes to LGBT terms. Transsexual came a close second in terms of popularity while bareback sex followed.

Raleigh, NC – Transsexual, Black Transsexual

In Raleigh we see both Transsexual and black transsexuals surpass other general “gay sex” terms when looking at LGBT related searches. This isn’t anything new for the area but an increase was still noted.

Greenville, NC – Gay Sex, Bisexual

Greenville tends to search gay sex and had the highest increase for bisexual we’ve noted this week. PORN.COM has a significant bisexual threesome collection so the popularity of “bisexual” is expected.

The hyprocrisy is striking and frankly is nothing new to those who work in adult and have observed global or region trends in the past. People are often sexually intrigued by the unknown and sadly tend to be much more open minded when viewing their porn opposed to voicing their opinions on politics or society. We’ll continue to examine these trends as the week progresses. For more details on how HB2 has impacted porn viewers in North Carolina, check out a recent article from the Huffington Post.

It’s time to step out of the closet North Carolina!
