One of the country’s most-visited porn websites, Pornhub, said Thursday the partial government shutdown has prompted Web traffic to climax nationwide, as well as in D.C.

Pornhub, which averages more than 100 billion video views annually, reported a swell in traffic during Jan. 7-11, the third week of the shutdown. Approximately 800,000 federal workers have not been earning paychecks since Dec. 22.

"When compared to traffic levels prior to the shut-down, weekday visits across the United States were up 5.94% from January 7th to 11th,” the company said in a press release issued Thursday.

The bulge in traffic was most noticeable between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. But the biggest spikes of 10 percent to 14.2 percent took place between midnight and 5 a.m., possibly because some government workers did not have to wake up early the following day.

The only time traffic was below normal rates was from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., but only by 1 percentage point.

Pornhub also reported an upswing in traffic in the afternoons and evenings, while late morning figures declined. Washingtonians watched up to 12 percent more porn between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

In D.C., viewer interest in certain types of porn also surged. The porn site asked, "Are these the favorite categories of government workers?" Pornhub saw a 71 percent spike in “outdoor" videos, a 66 percent jump in “threesome" productions, and a 60 percent increase in its "old/young” category.

The company’s insights team said it chose last week to look at data because the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s Day might not have standard viewing patterns.

In the past, some federal workers have not needed to be furloughed to watch large amounts of porn during daytime hours. In 2017, an NBC News4 I-Team investigation found that almost 100 federal government employees had admitted to or been caught viewing porn on the job in the previous five years.

Those cases included workers who admitted spending up to six hours a day surfing for obscene material and downloading tens of thousands of adult images on their office computers.
