Top porn viewing country in the world?

Pakistan



They may call it the "Land of the Pure," but Pakistan turns out to be anything but.

The Muslim country, which has banned content on at least 17 websites to block offensive and blasphemous material, is the world's leader in online searches for pornographic material, FoxNews.com has learned.

?You won?t find strip clubs in Islamic countries. Most Islamic countries have certain dress codes,? said Gabriel Said Reynolds, professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Notre Dame. ?It would be an irony if they haven?t shown the same vigilance to pornography.?

So here's the irony: Google ranks Pakistan No. 1 in the world in searches for pornographic terms, outranking every other country in the world in searches per person for certain sex-related content.

Pakistan is top dog in searches per-person for "horse sex" since 2004, "donkey sex" since 2007, "rape pictures" between 2004 and 2009, "rape sex" since 2004, "child sex" between 2004 and 2007 and since 2009, "animal sex" since 2004 and "dog sex" since 2005, according to Google Trends and Google Insights, features of Google that generate data based on popular search terms.

The country also is tops -- or has been No. 1 -- in searches for "sex," "camel sex," "rape video," "child sex video" and some other searches that can't be printed here.

Google Trends generates data of popular search terms in geographic locations during specific time frames. Google Insights is a more advanced version that allows users to filter a search to geographic locations, time frames and the nature of a search, including web, images, products and news.

Pakistan ranked No. 1 in all the searches listed above on Google Trends, but on only some of them in Google Insights.

?We do our best to provide accurate data and to provide insights into broad search patterns, but the results for a given query may contain inaccuracies due to data sampling issues, approximations, or incomplete data for the terms entered,? Google said in a statement, when asked about the accuracy of its reports.

The Embassy of Islamic Republic of Pakistan did not reply to a request for an interview.

In addition to banning content on 17 websites, including islamexposed.blogspot.com, Pakistan is monitoring seven other sites -- Google, Yahoo, Bing, YouTube, Amazon, MSN and Hotmail -- for anti-Islamic content, the Associated Press reported in June.

But it?s not to censor the Pakistani people, Reynolds said. It?s to shut out the rest of the world.

?[It] could lead to conversion, which would undermine the very order of the state,? he said. ?Part of protecting the society is making sure that there is no way it could be undermined in terms of foreign influences.?

Pakistan temporarily banned Facebook in May when Muslim groups protested the ?Everybody Draw Muhammad Day? page, where users were encouraged to upload pictures of the Prophet Muhammad. The page remains on Facebook, but Pakistani users are unable to view it, said Andrew Noyes, manager of Facebook?s Public Policy Communication.

And while Pakistan is taking measures to prevent blasphemous material from being viewed by its citizens, pornographic material is ?certainly? contradictory to Islam, too, Reynolds said.

The country?s punishment for those charged with blasphemy is execution, but the question remains what -- if anything -- can be done about people who search for porn on the Web.

?It?s a new phenomenon,? Reynolds said.

 

Those Pakistanis sure love their bestiality, huh?

 

It was odd that the article kept returning to the "17 banned websites" number, as quite frankly that's an incredibly small number.

 

Maybe they just want to breed their livestock more efficiently.

 

smh at most censorship in general

 

Haha... I don't see how anybody's surprised, only 17 sites blocked?

 

Is Saudi Arabia the No. 2 top porn viewing country in the world? For several reasons?

 

Eh, I doubt they made the statistics up, although they definitely would spin it into LOL THOSE SILLY HEATHEN ISLAMS.

 

Ok, I am a tad confused. They are the top porn search country, but:

Pakistan is top dog in searches per-person for "horse sex" since 2004, "donkey sex" since 2007, "rape pictures" between 2004 and 2009, "rape sex" since 2004, "child sex" between 2004 and 2007 and since 2009, "animal sex" since 2004 and "dog sex" since 2005, according to Google Trends and Google Insights, features of Google that generate data based on popular search terms.

The country also is tops -- or has been No. 1 -- in searches for "sex," "camel sex," "rape video," "child sex video" and some other searches that can't be printed here.


Holy ****! I mean, it's a big internet out there. LOTS of porn. How did this tiny country become the #1 porn search country baed on...let's be frank...really horrid types of sex?

 

That and I was just amused by the whole statement to begin with, regardless of the article.

 

Pakistan isn't a tiny country.

 

I was there back in April and I can only conclude that those people must be very patient. Even the cable internet over there isn't that fast.

 

And about 4 times a year a government official who has spent his entire career touting family values turns out to have cheated on his wife. With another man.

There's the side that people show the rest of the world, and then there's the sordid truth. What else is new.

 

Top porn viewing country in the world?

Pakistan


Makes sense....whenever you ban something entirely, it only causes the demand to skyrocket.

 

I guess they are into animals more than each other.

 

Well, yeah. You can get a virgin bride by trading giving her father four goats.

Unfortunately, she's like 10 years old....but its comparable picking the green bananas at the market.

 

My older sister is friends with a ton of Pakistanis. I said, "So guess which country searches the most for porn."

She says, "Pakistan."

Right away. Because she says that all the male Pakistanis she knows watch tons and tons of porn.

 

Nah, most of them are missing their hands...

 

More the fact that sexuality is so repressed (admittedly a generalization, but one that I believe is true). Men have their needs, and are going to get them somewhere.

Not sure what the hell the deal is with the bestiality, though. Are the women that ugly?

 

... that's a new one.

EDIT: Oh.

 

"... and some other searches that can't be printed here."

Worse than child sex, rape sex and the various forms of bestiality?

 

Yes.

I've searched for these things. Trust me.

 

I think it would be interesting if the Pakistani Taliban used porn to their advantage in trying to overthrow the government... "Fight with us and all your camel sex will be FREE!!!"

 

Man, the good o'U.S.A. if falling behind everywhere.
