Avengers Porn Searches Have Skyrocketed in Anticipation of Endgame
While many Marvel fans were looking up theories and spoilers about Avengers: Endgame before its opening weekend, a whole other subset of people were quenching their thirst for Black Widow and Captain Marvel in... other ways. Pornhub reported that search traffic for Avengersand its main characters has skyrocketed in the past week, further proving the old maxim (a.k.a. "Rule 34") true: If there's a topic out there that people even marginally care about, someone will make a porn about it.
Pornhub's report examined the beginning of April through just before opening weekend. April 5, everything was fine and pure and good—people out there looking up their standard MILF videos and the like. But on April 18, everything changed. Search results went up by 1,779 percent in one day, followed by the peak on April 19, when searches were up by 2,912 percent.
As expected, the women of the Marvel universe took the top spots, with Captain Marvel absolutely dominating the rest. (This is not a sex pun.) Good for The Hulk, Spiderman, and Captain America coming in to fill out the lineup. Down there at the bottom is Iron Man porn, because no one likes a sad guy when they're trying to get off, you know? While it's not uncommon for porn sites to log higher traffic volumes based off films, Endgame is a monster all on its own. While Infinity War also caused a surge, it was nothing in comparison to Endgame. For reference, Infinity War only caused a 356 percent spike, at its peak.
While a quick Pornhub search (I'm definitely getting fired) reveals that there is indeed Avengers porn, it doesn't look as varied as the search results, so maybe just go the old fashioned route and use your imaginations, you dirty Thanos-loving animals.
