WALSH: We’re A Nation Of Porn Addicts. Why Are We Surprised By The Perverts In Our Midst?

Matt Walsh

As we enter our third month of the Pervert Explosion, it may be time to consider why we have so many perverts, where they come from, and what sorts of things might be contributing to their perverseness. To that end, might I point to the fact that we spend four billion hours a year watching porn?

Sorry. Let me correct myself. I’ve just understated the problem. We dedicated well over four and a half billion hours to watching porn on one porn site in 2016. Just on Porn Hub, humanity spent twice as much time viewing porn in a year as it has spent existing on planet Earth. The site had over 90 billion video views and 44,000 visitors every minute of every day. It all adds up to over 500 thousand years worth of porn consumed in the span of 12 months. Since 2015, human beings have spent one million years watching porn.
