Study: Chronic porn-watching porn associated with concomitant increase in non-heterosexuality

A fascinating but perhaps unsurprising new study has found that porn viewing corresponds directly to increased rates of non-heterosexuality in chronic users, with levels of bisexuality tied directly to frequency of porn consumption.

(NSFW warning: The referenced study from xHamster is linked in the story below if you are interested in the source material. But be forewarned: although there’s nothing graphic on the linked webpage, xHamster is, in fact, an adult content site, so explicit material is a click away. Consider yourself duly warned and purge the search history afterwards as required.)

Via New York Post (emphasis added):

Watching porn might make you bisexual. At least that seems to be the takeaway from a study released by the online porn portal xHamster. Dubbed the xHamster “Report on Digital Sexuality” and released Tuesday, the survey of 11,000 users finds that the more porn you watch, the likelier you are to go both ways.

For starters, the study reveals that 22.36 percent of US porn users are bisexual (surprisingly, a full 1.09 percent of porn viewers describe themselves as asexual — or to use a term spouted on “Ray Donovan”: “sexual anorexics”), while only 4.05 percent categorize themselves as gay or lesbian. The overwhelming majority of porn consumers, 67.77 percent, are heterosexual.

Things get frisky when the study looks at whether “porn makes you bi.” Researchers at xHamster find that 13.09 percent of people who watch porn once a week are bisexual. Those who watch skin flicks a few times a week have a 19.73 percent chance of being bi. Watch once a day and you are in the 23.01 percent group of bisexuals. Make the time to log on for XXX action several times a day and you may count yourself among the 27.46 percent of xHamster’s frequent viewers who are bisexual.

The basis for the link isn’t exactly clear, and not directly explicated in the study, nor is whether the intent of the adult content platforms or producers is to alter the sexual orientation of viewers.

However, my personal speculation for the cause-and-effect, at least one of the reasons, would be that the more porn one watches, the less the vanilla stuff tantalizes, in much the same way that the same dose of heroin doesn’t pack the same punch once you’re well into the throes of addiction.

Another fascinating angle, which I’ve explored at PJ Media before, is the genre of adult content called “sissy hypnosis,” which directs male viewers to renounce their masculinity and adopt the most extreme, cartoonish, degrading performative femininity possible.

Did you know?

If we were to posit that, indeed, the intention of the adult content purveyors is to effect a mass social engineering scheme, using these sites to do it would likely provide a massive return on investment.

The reason for the high potential ROI is that Americans visit the major adult content sites, and spend more time on them when they do, far more often than the most popular non-adult social media platforms and websites like Amazon, LinkedIn, and even TikTok — which itself is intentionally engineered to be as addictive as possible so as to retain more eyeballs and increase ad revenue.

Via Psychology Today (emphasis added):

The authors of a new study published in the Journal of Sex Research ask a fascinating… question: Where does pornography fit in the digital media landscape today? Not only are all the options from 2013 still available, but those options have vastly expanded their offerings and appeal. So, with far more techno-communicative offerings (e.g., TikTok, Zoom, ChatGPT) and with people relying on those sites more than ever before, does traffic to pornography sites still dominate in the way it did a decade ago?...

By comparing the amount of traffic to the three highest globally ranked pornography sites (Xvideos, Pornhub, and XNXX) with several prominent digital media properties, it remains true that Americans visit porn sites at astronomical rates.

Using a set of metrics that includes indicators of monthly unique visitors as well as monthly pageviews, the authors found that the top three pornography sites are more highly ranked than the most well-known household name sites (Amazon, Netflix, Yahoo) as well as those that are the most up and coming (TikTok, OpenAI/ChatGPT, Zoom).

Exactly how great is this disparity? In a word, huge. Xvideos, the top-ranked pornography site, had 700,000,000 more total visits than Amazon and 900,000,000, 1,100,000,000, 1,300,000,000, 1,500,000,000, and 1,800,000,000 more total visits than TikTok, OpenAI, LinkedIn, Netflix, and The Weather Channel, respectively.

The authors also looked at bounce rates, which indicate the percentage of visitors who leave a website after only viewing one page. They found that pornography sites (Xvideos, Pornhub, XNXX, and Xhamster) had lower bounce rates than non-pornographic sites. They also found that the pornography sites XNXX and Pornhub had higher pages per visit figures than nonpornographic sites.

In other words, not only do people visit porn sites more often than non-porn sites, but they tend to stick around once there.
