In honor of everyone’s favorite day to get lucky, Pornhub’s statisticians took a look at how Saint Patrick’s Day affects searches on Pornhub. After the results of our\u00a0Christmas<\/a> and Valentine’s<\/a>\u00a0holiday reviews, we were expecting a pot of statistical gold from Saint Pat, and we weren\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The biggest daily increase we found on March 17, 2016 were searches for “leprechaun”, which increased by a staggering 8825%. Considering that leprechaun porn does actually exist on Pornhub, that’s not so surprising since we also recently revealed\u00a0that\u00a0clown searches<\/a> were a popular genre. Second up in search increases was “shamrock” at 7755%, followed by St Patricks Day at 6207% and Saint Patrick at 5116%.<\/p>\n

Many of the top search increases were related to Ireland, with a 1644% increased interest in “Irish anal”, 1455% for “Irish cougar”, 1253% for “Irish creampie” and 866% for “Irish Lesbians”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Related terms like “clover” increased 1124%, and even colors like “green” went up 506%, “green hair” 184% and “Irish redhead” up 608%.<\/p>\n

The following chart shows how worldwide searches for “Irish” began to increase in the days leading up to Saint Patrick’s Day before hitting 584% on the actual holiday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Searches for “Lucky” also grew by 163% on March 17th, but remained well above average for the next few days.<\/p>\n

For some people, Saint Patrick’s day is associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Hey, we’ve been known to tip a few pints ourselves. It would seem that many Pornhub users share that interest, and after stumbling home will attempt to get lucky with some popular searches on our site.<\/p>\n

Misspellings aren’t that uncommon, especially when users tend to navigate our site with only one hand — but we do find a particular increase in misspelled terms on Saint Patrick’s Day. On average, “Lesbian” misspellings increase by 20%, especially\u00a0those of the “lebsian” variety. Cartoon is mistaken for “carton” 17% more than normal, MILF becomes “mifl” 19% more often, and Step Mom is searched 29% more often as “etep mom”.<\/p>\n

Thankfully our auto-correct feature is there to guide\u00a0Saint Patrick’s Day visitors in the right direction\u00a0— much like a timely Uber (but minus the 500% surge pricing). We hope you enjoyed this edition of Pornhub Insights, and best of luck to ye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
