A fifth of people watch porn during working day

One in five of millions of people watch pornography during the working day, according to the UK’s media watchdog.

The Ofcom study revealed that 21 per cent of 13.8 million people watch online pornography between 9am and 5.30pm for an average of 55 minutes.

The regulator said it was unclear whether this was because of more people working from home as there were not previous figures to compare with.

Adults only spent more time watching pornography between midnight and 9am, with 59 minutes on average, according to the study. Seventy-three per cent of those doing so were men.

alienanimals,

With a little more surveillance we could figure out if they’ve purchased their porn watching license.

bingbong,

Oi! D’you 'ave a loicense to choke that chicken?!

Tischkante,

That data would be interesting to check, somehow I doubt the 50+ minutes makes sense. Maybe a median would be better.

Also writing “during the working day” as if everyone works at the same time on all days of the year…

I’d be very interested to see this divided by the type of work people are doing. I bet people with more private workspaces, like people working from home, and executives, probably contribute to this statistic much more than people stuck in open plan offices.

alekwithak,

Between the /normal/ working hours of 9-5. NOT during their actual workday, as in they didn’t correlate the results with the user’s actual work schedule.

Pretty disingenuous title.

TinklesMcPoo,

We should… We should be able to watch a little porn at work

knightry,

The average is actually a few minutes, but the average is skewed by long-jack John, who takes a month to finish and should not be counted

They always do it don’t depending on how you look at it, which you shouldn’t be.
