Some people have been getting a bit too comfortable working from home, according to a new report.

The report, by Ofcom, reveals that a fifth of Britons admit to watching porn during office hours.

Of the 13.8 million people who watch porn online, more do so between 9:00am and 5:30pm than at any other time of the day.

And it isn't just a quick session - people watching porn in the work day spend 55 minutes on adult sites on average.

Pornography watchers are overwhelmingly male, with men making up 73 per cent of the total, according to the report.
A fifth of all people who watch pornography in the UK admit to doing so during the hours of 9:00am to 5:30pm

Work hours were actually the most popular time for people to visit porn sites, closely followed by the middle of night into early morning

The least popular time for Britons to access adult content was between 5:30pm to 7:59pm, with only 13 per cent visiting sites during this time.

However, Ofcom says it can't be certain whether this behaviour is due to an increase in working from home as it does not have data from previous years to compare against.

According to Pornhub, the UK had the second highest amount of traffic to the site of any country apart from the United States.

The report said: 'Twenty-nine per cent (13.8 million) of UK online adults accessed a pornographic content service in May 2023, and reach has remained relatively stable year on year.'

Ofcom also points out that more adults were accessing the highest-reaching porn sites in 2023 than in 2022.

Five of the top 10 porn sites say their number of visitors grew by at least 10 per cent, with OnlyFans seeing its user base grow by almost 20 per cent year on year.
Ofcom says they can't be sure if this pattern is due to a rise in working from home as there is no data from previous years to compare with.

Overall, men were three times more likely than women to access pornography online.

However, erotic fiction sites were proportionately used at a much higher rate by women than men.

The Ofcom report also found that hentai, which the authors describe as 'a sub-genre of anime or manga comprising sexually explicit anime and manga content', was predominantly accessed by young men on desktop or laptop computers.

The audience of hentai, which was the third most popular search term on Pornhub globally in 2022, was 89 per cent male and was most popular among 18-24 year-olds.
