Anytime a major event of any caliber or level of importance occurs in these United States, porn searches start profoundly popping off. We already got you caught up on what last week's Republican National Convention did for Pornhub's search engine, and now it's time to take a peek at how the famed porn providers at xHamster are faring in light of the first night of Democratic National Convention festivities in Philadelphia. Hint: Human beings still enjoy visual fun of the pornographic variety, even when historical events are going down.
The first night of the DNC gave xHamster a "huge surge" in overall traffic and a hefty 7.4 percent increase in traffic just in Philadelphia alone, BroBible generously reports. But as we are a news site providing you with things like details and specifics, we're going to need to break down those stats a bit further.
According to BroBible, xHamster saw searches for "Hillary" take a gigantic leap of 437 percent. Searches for "Michelle Obama," whose DNC speech was arguably the highlight of the first night, increased by a tremendous 1428 percent.
Dedicated porn news readers may recall that xHamster knows a thing or two about injecting themselves into the nation's political discourse. In addition to awesomely banning North Carolina users in protest of the state's ludicrous anti-LGBT stance, the popular porn site recently extended an offer to soon-to-be-former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
"xHamster was shocked at Wasserman Schultz's actions to try to sabotage Senator Bernie Sanders at the Democratic National Convention," Alex Hawkins, xHamster spokesperson, said in a press release Monday. "We are pleased that she has stepped down and are offering her a chance to redeem herself to all the Bernie Bros out there by performing in an adult video with xHamster's own Adam Wood who bears a striking resemblance to Senator Sanders. We hope she seriously considers this offer."
