Pakistan maintains top slot in Google search for 'sex'
Islamabad features in the top 10 cities worldwide to search the word 'sex' in September and December 2011.
Narrowing the analytics for the search term to just 2011, Pakistan maintains the number one position, followed by India and Vietnam.
With over 20 million internet users and growing fast, Pakistan has managed to secure the number one slot for searching the term ‘sex’ globally for all years.
According to a 2010 Fox News report, Pakistan had outranked all countries in Google searches for pornographic terms last year. Narrowing the analytics for the search term to just 2011, Pakistan maintained the number one position, followed by India and Vietnam.
Islamabad featured in the top 10 cities worldwide to search the word ‘sex’ in September and December 2011.
Provincial capital Lahore also featured in the top 10 cities for the months of January, March, April, May, June, July, September, October, November and December 2011.
The months of February and August (Ramazan) were the only two months in 2011 that did not feature any cities from Pakistan in the global ranking.
How does Google Trends work?
Google Trends analyzes a portion of Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms entered, relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time.
To rank the top regions, cities, or languages, Google Trends first looks at a sample of all Google searches to determine the areas or languages from which they received the most searches for the first term. Then, for those top cities, Google Trends calculates the ratio of searches for the term coming from each city divided by total Google searches coming from the same city.
The city ranking and the bar charts alongside each city name both represent this ratio.
Google Trends uses IP address information from server logs to make a best guess about where queries originated.

Dear All and the writer of the report,
I have came across something on Youtube recently which kinda open up my eyes regarding the FAKE propaganda of searching porn in pakistan. This is kinda video which everyone can verify themselves by simply going to Google and following the same steps as directed in the video and you will come to know that it’s all fake propaganda. Ironically most of the videos with the same titles are disables with Audio by Youtube (Interesting) but I find the same clip with an audio for your viewing. Please have a look and spread the word around you until this clip is disabled too. Here’s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKJ2Ah4FUzI&feature=related
Please don’t believe blindly on what you are fed in media. Things might be different in reality.
I would like the writer of this report to please write something on this propaganda as well and clear some minds. I believe that they can contribute in a positive way to journalism and the country.

Watching porn is absolutely a natural trait, particularly amongst young men and women as it represents a biological process of hormones getting activated with growing age. I would rather call it abnormal if a young man or a woman, irrespective of their sexual preferences, desist from showing interest in sex, such people need medical help. Sex and the pleasure/ecstasy that comes with it, is not a bad thing, in fact, it’s vital for survival of all the species, including humans. Imagine a world where there is no sex and species are supposed to reproduce themselves voluntarily with some kind of different mechanism, bereft of any pleasures. How many species, including humans, would have resorted to reproduce themselves?
As for Pakistan getting the glorious rank of number one on porn watch scale, I would say it’s more to do with the strict segregation of sexes than any dubious characteristics. But, when world pokes fun at Pakistanis as most sex starved people, it’s something to do with double standard practiced by a vast majority of Paks. You guys wear religion on your sleeves when even a most fickle issue under the sun, is discussed.
Religion is not an answer to every aspect of life, it’s confined to the catering to the needs of one’s spirituality and nothing more.Recommend

The top city for “sex” search is New Delhi, and there are four Indian cities among the top 10 for this search. Bangalore is #3, Chennai #4 and Mumbai #5. No Pakistani cities on this list.
The top language for “sex ” search is Indonesian.
Google search terms are very unique, and if you use a different word for the same thing, you end up with very different top 10 lists. For example if you look at search trends for “bestiality”, a more sophisticated term for “animal sex”, you get very different results. Neither India nor Pakistan show up among the top 10 for “bestiality”, revealing the amateurish nature of South Asian searchers driven more by curiosity than intent.

Its misleading to compare numbers without taking into consideration the population of internet users. India’s population of internet users is 7-8 times bigger than Pakistan’s. So , if they are comparing absolute numbers, Pakistan’s internet users are searching for ‘sex’ , 700-800% more than users in India.
They should divide the number of searches by the population of internet users and then compare , for the comparison to be meaningful.

This is not the case!
We certainly don’t have the websites listed in our bookmarks/favorites (in Pakistan) & that’s the reason we focus on searching (GOOGLE, you should thank this nation to keep your SE running & helping you generate the revenue).
Rest of the world have everything listed in their bookmarks/favorites, they even have paid accounts to access the vulgarity, unlike Pakistan (than why they would search for anything else)!
Mind my words, even INDIA is way too ahead but the matter is their search criteria (for instance there are different SEs & maybe google isn’t that good option for others to search for pornography).
Recommend
Despicable and a very short sighted article showing only a very small part of a very large picture. Though it is very shameful that Pakistan should rank anywhere on the top in searching for this term (sex) but this article only shows how narrow the point of view of the writer is because he/she was only able to get trend analysis for the this one term.
Now to make my point clear what I am talking about is that Pakistan Ranks first on many of the other terms as well, not only in 2011 but in the trend analysis of all the years. Here are a few example where Pakistan retains the top positions.
1). News
2). Muslim
3). Islam
4). World
5). Geo
6). Geo Physics
7). Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran
and you go on and on and you will find Pakistan and India holding top spots in many popular search terms.
Secondly the top 10 list of cities contain 7 Indian cities and top 2 cities are also Indian.
Thirdly technically Islamabad and Lahore are showing on the top spot because in Pakistan most telecom companies have their registered offices in Islamabad and Lahore and the IP addresses they have are also registered in these cities so even if someone uses internet from Rawalpindi, Murree, Muzzafrabad, Peshawar it will show as Islamabad and same with the other cities. So in that terms the Google Algo is very bad in showing the exact trends.
Also i would like you guys to always confirm the source before jumping the guns on these pathetically written articles . Please visit Google trends page to verify the results yourself and play around. It’s interesting stuff anyways….Recommend
“The best propaganda omits rather than invents“: Masan Cooley
:)
lets talk in figures;
Pakistan where 60% (112.5 million) of total population (187.5 million) inhabits in rural areas..
where total number of internet users are “JUST 20.43 MILLION”..
can it topple up really in this regard? :) from whom?
CHINA where internet users are “485 MILLION“?
or USA where internet users are “245 MILLION“?
or INDIA with “100 MILLION“?
or JAPAN with “99 MILLION“?
or BRAZIL with “75 MILLION” :)
it was really disappointing to see many of the readers not understanding the underlying propaganda…

Has anyone even seen the statistics closely?
In the top Cities section, atleast 8 cities from INDIA are mentioned to have greatest hits and yet to sum it up they do not make INDIA number 1? How is it even possible, considering the population ratio between the two countries and the ratio of internet users?
Really google? Again?

Brothers and sisters, it is not a matter of debate. It is not important that either we stand in the top 10 or top 50. Important thing is that when we have been told to stay away from these things why are we getting more into it. There was a time when a small sin counts on true muslims as a weight of mountains but now we take these sins so lightly and igore them. I came across a story of one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (PHBU). who commited a sin of that kind and then see how he repented and asked forgiveness.

What a lousy report, Term “sex” can be searched for many other purposes then porn

If you go on Youtube there are hundereds of videos of Pakistani actresses in which their bra strap is visible by mistake and thousands of Pakistani men leave extremely perverted comments underneath it. I mean what can you expect from a nation which gets excited by bra straps?

Dear Editor
To say that I was disheartened to read this post would be an understatement. Not because it grieves me to know the favoured past time of us Pakistani’s ( Like most I believe this to be only natural and not a sordid reflection of our mentality ) but the extent to which we tend to be self depreciating in the name of impartial reporting. For the sake of my belief in the impartiality of our media please tell me that you were not aware of Pakistan topping the education and women rights trend in the Google trends for 2011 as well. For if you aware and still failed to report it in favour of this juicy tit bit of information you will affirm my belief in the apologetic and self depreciating reporting by some of our media rather than critical and analytical. Let me give you some food for thought

@MD:
Your post was sensible till you said that sex segregation in Pakistani is the reason. Let me clarify, Pakistan is not a sex segregated society but it is certainly religious and have strict values. Because of this people don’t get the chance to do sex as freely as westerners. So obviously people are looking towards porn which is fine as it helps sexually frustrated people here. So no problem with porn.

We want sex its that simple. For a frustrated nation what other outlet is available apart from the net and the goats. I say let em have it. Make it like Thailand. Open sex for everyone. Recommend
