Glasgow is known for its thriving and well established LGBT scene – one with plenty of gay and ‘mixed’ venues in the city and a healthy social calendar all-year round thanks to events such as Pride Glasgow and Glasgay! Festival.

And now, in a study conducted by Pornhub on the anonymised browsing habits of its British visitors, Glasgow has been revealed as the place with the highest consumption of male same-sex pornography as a percentage of all pornographic consumption in the UK this year.

The figures , which were broken down into cities and counties, were revealed by newspaper The Economist in an article entitled ‘Mapping gay life in Britain'.

Evenly spread across the country, the browsing habit figures for 2017 show that gay content accounts for a UK average of 5.6 per cent of all porn viewing on the site (excluding lesbian porn, for which the main audience is straight men).

Glasgow topped the poll with 7 per cent per 100,000 people, while Carmarthenshire in South Wales had the lowest average with 4.2 per cent.

The Economist also published its own study of same sex organisations and events to be found throughout the UK, with Glasgow listed as having 15 per 100,000 people, compared to 8 in Belfast, 44 in Manchester and 134 in London.
