COVID-19 has affected virtually every aspect of our lives, so why should the way we watch porn be an exception? Not only are we watching more of it, but it’s all about hazmat suits, masks and gloves., Dr. Martin J. Lehmiller writes that the virus has given porn consumption rates a boost. He refers to Pornhub — a free video sharing and pornography site — which reported a steady increase in March since lockdowns around the world began.
he writes about the Terror Management Theory: “when we are reminded of our own mortality, we subconsciously alter our attitudes and behaviours to help us cope with the ‘terrifying’ prospect of our eventual death.” Studies have found that when we’re faced with the possibility of our very own mortality, we activate sexual desire and behaviour to cope, he writes. And given that the pandemic has brought our feelings about mortality to the forefront, it makes sense that more of us might turn to porn for a break.
