Fantasy plays a big role in pornography. People are not simply looking for naked flesh, they\u2019re interested in the stories that lead to each sexual encounter. Like film and television studios, the porn industry spends millions each year to design elaborate scenes that will bring viewers into the story, and create an emotional attachment with the characters on screen.\u00a0It\u2019s only natural that fans will want to see their favorite movie characters involved in sexual scenarios, so super hero porn parodies are a popular adult film genre.<\/p>\n

The most recent super hero movie to hit theaters on August 5th was Suicide Squad. Our friends at Cinema Blend<\/a> asked us if the release had any effect on Pornhub searches. After Suicide Squad broke many opening weekend records, we soon discovered that it also resulted in a 1072% search increase on Pornhub.<\/p>\n
