The Internet Reveals that Early Summer Is Definitely the Sexiest Time of Year
LatestIt’s take a new study to determine when Americans are the most sexed-up, but now we finally know thanks to the infinite record book that is our beloved Internet — Americans are most eager for sexy times in the early months of summer. Oh, and around the holidays. And once for the entire month of March back in 2008 because of Eliot Spitzer.
According to an analysis of keywords that people in the U.S. used in Google searches from 2006 through March 2011 showed a distinct uptick keywords relating to finding a date, porn, and prostitutes during June and July, and also during the holidays in December and January. “Whether it was searches for ‘eHarmony,'” says study researcher Patrick Markey of Villanova University, “or for ‘brothel’ – there was this exact same pattern.” For people seeking dates, “eHarmony” and “Match.com” were two of the big keywords; for people seeking an escort, “call girl” and “escort” were tactfully deployed; and for people browsing for porn, “porn” and “boobs” were the magic words of choice. Prostitution, mate-seeking, and porn-seeking searches jumped 2.78 percent, 5.67 percent, and 4.28, respectively.
