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.

can any one have a proof you can use trend.google to find the truth its usa with the most porn hits
That just means religious Pakistanis (Muslims & Minorities) are little bit more interested in sex (porn and what not) then religious Indians (Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians). It also proves religion can't control hormones or sexual desires which may be behind this action of search. I guess for desi women doing some thing like that is considered a sin.
@bangash
Don't you understand mathematics? Google trends works by taking the ratio of the total searches of a particular word with the overall search in a particular region.
So if in india somebody searched for a word 'foo' 100 times and the overall search from india was 100000 then still it will be lower then pakistan if pakistan searched for the word 'foo' 10 times and overall search was 20.
It means more percentage of pakistanis search for these words. Got the logic?
yea Pakistan is No 1 in searching for education as well...go to google trends and check..
The image shown here is WRONG... We are no.1 as well.
check the google trends, enter the word SEX, INDIA is in the same list as pakistan....
but nice try :) for giving them no 1 position.. Jay Hind
we all love porn :) free porn
@so Sad: Don't be sad, there are desi sex movies also available on the net. Some of the movies uploaded are home made..
Vietnam being mod as well..Big thing for em !
If only they told us the person with the most searches!!! Sigh..
Thanks Hashaam and Baber for pointing the TRUTHS out. The reality is quite different, these are fabricated statistics that can only be verified using the same google trend/insights which claims this. I wish we have more insight, research and analysis on our part in media rather than beleiving everything from the west.
Its their hate inside for ISLAM and ISLAM loving people of Pakistan that pours outside from their hearts. May Allah protect our Ummah from their Fitna and Dajal.
@Sherry: Pakistanis claim to be very religious people. Google seraches shows what is on their mind.
During the month of Ramazan (August) no city in Pakistan ranked in the top ten cities that searched for sex in Google shows Pakistani are very religious people. Is there a way to find out how many Pakistanis searched for nude pictures of Veena Malik?
Can't any one read a bar graph any more it is Pakistan followed by Vietnam followed by India.followed by Egypt etc.
@Devil in the Detail: Poignant assessment.
Has anybody taken the chronic load shedding factor in many cities into consideration?
I'd like to mention two points. First is the lack of education in poor countries, due to which most of the people even don't know the long-term effects of these rubbish things. Secondly, I'd like to see this issue in the light of my own relogion, ''ISLAM''. How can we say that our reigion allows us to see these things? Islam gives us a path according to which we can easily pass a peacefull life in the world. Now-a-days we've forgot all our true teachings of ''ISLAM'' and it's the main reason of our down-falling in the developing world. We ought to be faithful to our religion, otherwise we'll always suffer.
There is nothing wrong enquiring word SEX.Pakistanies are educated people.As a nation we are very talented.It is study it is research it is to explore more about life.So be proud of yourselfs.It is education.I am proud of Pakistan and pakistanies.Learn learn and learn.
How come most of these searches were made in chinese language?
http://www.google.com/trends?q=Sex&geo=pak&sa=N
In cities stats, out of Top 10 cities, 8 belong to India...!! so Technically, Pakistan did exceptionally well to reach the top even with such intense competition from India.
I was just wondering if these statistics are per capita/percentage, or just a base value. I agree with what someone said...there is no way that Pakistan with 10 million internet users could be the United States.
Its not possible and the reasons are quite obvious. First of all almost 50% ofthe internet users are organizational and corporate, where searching for orn is not possible or atleast very difficult. Then comes the number of institutional users like colleges, universities etc. There also, its quite difficult to search for such terms. In the end around 10-20% are home based users where a majority of childrena dnteenagers are constantly monitored by their parents. So its quite in contrast with the rest of the developed world, even India, where the internet use is quite common and not very strictly monitored.
All of you comparing Indias population to Pakistan's and passing judgements about Pakistanis, heres a few thoughts that may enlighten you on the truth.
First of all the rankings are calculated based on the percentage of times the word "sex"is googled as compared to the total searches from the region. So it doesnt matter if Indias population is 6 times that of Pakistan or 12 times, the rankings are based on ratios. Pakistan being 1st doesnt mean that the actual number of searches for sex was greater than that of India, it just means proportionally we google sex(as compared to other terms) more than india.
Secondly, the reason we Pakistanis are on the top of this list is not because we are perverts or peadophilies, its because of our naivete, illiteracy and innocence. Considering that 70% of our population lives in rural areas, or at least last time I checked, we are very well lacking the vocabulary to search the internet for pornography. What I'm trying to say is that whenever we try to search for porn on the internet, well above 50% of us Pakistanis will only be able to come up with the word sex. Whereas in the major part of the rest of the world, even 5 year olds will not google sex if they were looking for porn. The majority of the population will google the pornographic niche they like to watch, or even go straight to their favourite site. I think if google were to publish a ranking of all the other words in a porn directors dictionary, I think you wont be able to see Pakistans name till the very last percentile.
I hope that puts things a little more into perspective. Hopefully now people understand what these rankings actually mean.I can go on and on on this topic, but I think ive made the point I was trying to make, and in doing so discovered I rather like writing. You know what, I may even start my own blog(Obviously not a porn awareness blog)
Its a shame for the whole of our nation that we are not progressing in any other matter of life but morally corrupt activities. Seems we have a lot of spare time for such things. It should not be taken simply as a joke or false sense of pride but this is in fact an alarming situation related to the ever growing deterioration of our society. What are we leaving for our children ??....... A morally corrupt society in the end ?? Think about it or you all be looser in history.
@Imran You are so Imranized that you leave no chance in pointing a finger at PTI.Pakistan also ranks very high in birth rate.Now make a connection to Imran Khan by saying that PTI's tsunami is motivating the people to produce more children.Shame on your thinking!
It's appreciative to know that some commentators have been diligent enough to scrutinize the facts
presented by Fox news and Google trends as inconsistent, manipulative and half truths. Kudos to the commentator who posted a link to the YouTube video. Although, I have seen others in the past with more solid arguments.
It should come as no surprise to those who are familiar with Fox News's anti-Islam stance and vitriolic statements against Muslims in general. You see, the more you associate an individual or group of people to a sinister or perverted aspect of their nature the more revulsion the public has for them.
On it's own searching for 'sex' or 'porn', may not seem to have the 'shock' factor they are looking for to rile the public to demonize the Pakistanis, but to associate them with the darker niche side of porn is a tried and tested formula. This formula has been used to bring down Politicians, United Nations Ambassadors, sports stars, movie stars and pop idols who have not towed the line or danced to the the tune for the 'powers to be'.
If Michael Jackson had slept with several women the general public's response would be 'at least he is human', but when he was associated with sleeping with children, he was called 'a monster'. The allegations co-coincided when his brother Jermaine Jackson who had become a revert to Islam had given him Michael a copy of the Qur'an to read and that he was taking a new direction to his music. I have met his brother, Jermaine.
@Tariqhl: That's consistent. Pakistanis are searching for things which they don't get. Education, teachers and sex.
I guess we are just a very sexy nation :)
Only because we don't follow Islam. That may sound upside down, but it is the way it is.
Well, beside all the woees and ahhhs, blaming etc. The biggest fact is Pakistanis are only aware of the term "sex" to search for mature contents. So I guess we should admire here that we are not even aware of the terminologies used for mature contents. Another fact from the same "google trends" the "search volume index" is much higher for civilized countries like UK etc. So I strongly reject the accusations and ridicule on basis of the fewer facts or say obscured fact in this case. Long live Pakistan
@Baber:
Shocked to read the google report...the article is misleading...Thanks Baber for awareness...
I deem the credit goes to ISPs to facilitate the internet service at cheaper cost & shiny speed:)
@Mard-e-Haq: It means Pakistan scored 6 times more than India.
Out 10, 6 are Muslim countries. What wrong with Muslims. 4 belongs to mixed(1 Buddhist, 2 Christans, India(Hindu+ Muslims))
@Naveed Javed: Except for a whole load of politically-oriented jokes about Veena 'declaring her assets' etc. nobody in Pakistan really cared about Veena Malik. The woman's a crazed, attention-seeking person and Pakistanis are largely tired of her antics. It was the Indian Muslim clerics who passed fatwas on her...!
Its actually positive as long as the search is on wikipedia :)
@Mard-e-Haq: Darling, size matters. We are more than 5 times you! But you still beat us!!
People shouldn't read too much into this.
Pakistanis are not internet savvy. Unlike other worlds where people look up exact websites, Pakistanis search with rudimentary words like 'sex' on Google.
Others know what phrases to use while looking for 'sex' on the internet or which website to go to, directly.
@Baber: don't bother Fox news ... that's what the do best
yeh cheez. pakistan zindabad
There is a lot of increase in bisexual and homosexual activity among Pakistani youth. Many Pakistanis in big cities are open to experimentation with same sex pleasure and think that sexuality is very fluid. Many married men also engage in same sex activity.
"Google Trends calculates the ratio of searches for the term coming from each city divided by total Google searches coming FROM THE SAME CITY".
This means that the total absolute number of searches for porn in Pakistan is not necessarily higher than the countries who have a greater number of overall searches.
India, quite obviously hits a lot more searches on Google than Pakistan and I'm assuming a much greater number of total absolute searches for Porn too (owing to their population size). However, according to Google trends, Pakistan's search for porn/Pakistan's total searches is higher than any other country.
Whats wrong with searching sex.....how do you think all the people commenting on this forum got here in the first place.......!!! I mean instead of bashing the countries that make the most number of PORN movies...
Pakistanis are also on the top in searching word "Quran" . Islamabad,Karachi,Lahore are on the top 3 slots , and Pakistan & its 3 cities have far better figures than its 2nd and 3rd competitors (Bangladesh,Morocco) in all years category. its very sad that this nation is always ready to accept any negative criticism and even sometimes unproven allegation (andha eeeman le ate hn ) without doing any confirmation or research .
@IndianDude google cant get access to chinese data and you got, thats why u r announcing china#1.. amazing
Sorry but I can't believe this. At most 10 million people have Internet in Pakistan, in no way can they compete in search terms with US/Canada.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKJ2Ah4FUzI&feature=related Just watch this video guys, we are making fun here... what US media is playing with us, you guys dunt know... We are very stupid nation indeed.. dunt mind
Veena malik will be laughing out loud when she reads this. I suspect that she already knows the hypocrisy of the society and this report is just confirmation of that hypocrisy.
At the back of my mind I always knew it. This search result has just confirmed my long held suspicion.
Out of the Frying Pan...and....Into the FIRE !
@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.
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

An angry Pakistani
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?
What a lousy report, Term "sex" can be searched for many other purposes then porn
We all know that these results aren't precise even confirmed by Google but still you report it
Congrats we are #1 again, i wonder if positions starts from (0) then we stand on that (0) position. only need is for AWARENESS which is not available in our country because all time we Pakistanies are busy in so called Politics & Politicians.
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. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRq2Sfg77dA&feature=share
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?
becareful its fox news 100% against pakistan , pak is their target . u can think of it for a moment bcoz technically its not possible , how could pakistan surpass india , brazil , china etc with less internet access to the people. even pak is short of electricity
This is So Lame !! How even the reporter can even think this might be correct!! so we can now publish any rubbish here???
Sex say Geo...
"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...
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).
Irrelevant statistics, ET has failed to put any research in their article yet again.
Actually, this is a function of vocabulary really. Go to google trends and use different words and see what the results are.
@Muhammad Muzafar: So you're saying there is a trade imbalance here?
@IndianDude: may be china is on top, but pakistan and india are also there. why western countries are not on top since it is all there dirtiness that is floating on internet. we eastern people have a history of clean and noble character, they have spoiled our youth. shame on all pornographic media and its viewers.
@Paki-Australian: you are doing wrong by blaming mullahs for your own weaknesses. man is made strong and he should get married, if he has needs, don't use ill methods for your pleasure and make yourself vicarious human.
its fake report just type http://www.google.com/trends then type sex or porn in the search bar in 2011 u will see pakistan but in 2010 or in 2009 u will not see pakistan or any cities of pakistan
Very shock. Why we have face a lot of problems in the shape of corrupt politicians, gas and electricity load shedding, price hike, inflation, natural disasters etcs, So we should learn from these catastrophe. I absolutely and humbly urged the government and Pakistan Telecommunication Authority to block all the porn sites. We will never success in any fields. So plz my brothers don't say proud to be No.1. I want to see Pakistani youth successful in all fields of life, education, science, politics, religion etcs.
Maybe Islamabad is "Number 1" in searching "sex" but may we please get some insight into who is"Number 1" in producing all theat visual content?
Maybe our society is sexually frustrated to a certain extend but casual sex, illegitimate abortions and porn production are ever increasing in the Google's home country i.e. the US!
Reporting such trivial matters shows how desperate and sad the tribune team currently is...I mean seriously guys you can't find anything better than this to report. I am sure there are hundreds and thousands of Pakistani's doing great work in the world, why don't you promote them. Why does everything thing has to be from a negative perspective. Grow up! Not that I am supporting online pornography or other related things but still c’mon I am sure you can find much better things to report
The other side ... Pakistan is top google user.
May Allah (SWT) give hidayat to all Pakistanis. (aameen)
Pakistan has been ranked first in searching the word "EDUCATION" as well.. STOP!! promoting the negative sides of everything..
Oxford Dictionary: Meaning of word Sex: either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions
Another lame news to malign Pakistan..
@Waqar: Agreed
False fasle fasle, this research is flawed have a look at this http://t.co/RXAWGQl2
Please check the Result with other words as well. e.g, Muslim Islam you'll find Pakistan atop again.
Could we not derive from this that Pakistan is googling too much?...simply that..
there is a link to a propaganda video above in the posts as well..watch that plz. Countries without family culture are more morally spoiled....in Pakistan or Eastern culture people are not in much liberty of enjoying the privacy as people in developed world. or many or non Islamic countries as well..
So one must analyse the information before drawing a conclusion. this information is just too much narrow and raw in nature.
P.S. Look at this comment by Tariqhl: Amazingly Pakistan also tops the google trends in “Education” and Teachers” searches globally…….Does anyone have any explanation for that. It justifies everythiing.
Pakistan topped with sex, it might be bcz majority of pakistanis do not get sex-education and they look for it on web. Look at trends.google.com and type 'nude', India tops in "nude" along with its 4 major districts in cities category. Do they look for nude-education?? Why Why Why we pakistanis are always responsible for everything... heh!
Errrrrrrrrrrr
@Mard-e-Haq:
Brother, if you consider Indian population and internet penetration, India is far behind Pakistan. Well anyways, I accept defeat. Pakistan wins :)
why not google machine is surveying porno video makers top ten list?
When PTA will block pornographic links on internet then google is the only resource of searching sexual contents' links for the internet-user nation especially for youth who know how to operate internet on the computers and GPRS supported iphones and mobiles.Now PTA has to block google as a reaction of it.
Well one things for sure that we have respect for the month of Ramadan. We all can atleast pray that the month of blessings may change hearts and mind of us all. After all its a mortal who makes mistakes.
This looks very credible because it comes from Google Trends, a website dedicated to check out all the search trends. There, you may also compare few terms. For example, you may want to compare Pakistan vs India to know exactly how many people searched for Pakistan vs India, and so on. I checked this trending three days back and found the same results. Pakistan tops such a search. Atleast we top something!
But for the word 'PORN' the order of the top cities is:
New Delhi , India Calcutta, India Houston, TX, USA Mumbai, India Dublin, Ireland London, U K Chicago, IL, USA Dallas, TX, USA Melbourne,Australia Bangalore, Indiawww.google.com/trends?q=Porn&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2011-12&sort=0
how easily we try to undermine our own people ... and taking this search so seriously does anyone knows or have any proof that how authentic it is ? @ sadiah i agree with you pakistani cant be loving bollywood songs more then indians they are mad this all research is fake ..........
Molvis (relegious Leaders) tell u the reality after death in light of Quran & Sunnah that if u abstain from doing sins then you will be awarded Jnnah (Paradise). Pls. read Sur-e-Rehman & Sur-e-Waqiya with translation & tafseer. God Bless u with peaceful soul
*They have given the data of "searching" only. They should give the data of those countries as will who mostly "upload" the videos. *
lol
is this a liberty looking for by our liberals?????
@Sameer Khan:
Yes, Sameer, if you could analyse those stats be sure to cross verify any days where there has been load shedding for a prolonged period (pretty often), then we can find any discrepancy in the trends.
If there has been an unusual amount of searches for the word 'sex' and it's variants on any day where there has been power outages, then we can safely say that the Google trends has been manipulated.
What is the population of Islamabad and what ratio of this population has access to internet?
some one searching "sex" for porn is really newbie in the game..."pros" use the specific term. poor people of my country, they don't know the porn terminology......
0Well, West should rethink of its stance about Jihad loving,viscous,bloodthirsty fundamentalist mullahs. Look at over love for "love making". There is nothing wrong in it. look at the factors, Pakistan has more 16 to 36 years old Then entire Europe, fewer opportunities for recreation,strict social norms among sexual relationship outside marriage etc I wounder how would be a Soho (London) like place in the middle of Lahore.
Thanks to us liberals!
Pakistan also maintains top slot in google search for 'poetry' ... that's some aesthetics
http://www.google.com/trends?q=poetry
We are a frustrated nation where people have to pose that they are righteous Muslims. Nothing wrong with porn, everyone watches it
And one funny trend i noticed is that Search for word sex changes every year. 2004-2007 Pakistan was on the top slot. 2008-2010 Pakistan nowhere in the top 10 list. 2011 Pakistan back to no 1! Does it have to do anything with the political stability in the country??! you can click on the following link and check year wise. http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2011&sort=0
its my hobby to watch porno ..........but i never used the word sex for that purpose.......wtf .....south asians dont knw how to search porno amatures ..............and u knw wht using sex u dont get the desiered results ............infact google suggests sex and the city movie ........lol ..........
@ the LOW IQ INDIANS laughing at us,
pls read the article carefully, the findings are relative, i.e based on percentage of total searches. it is not an absolute figure. can you not do simple arithematics.....
@wise counsel.: you have to read the complete blog before commenting on it,, it says that total number of specific search divided by total number all searches from same area,,, so population dont have any affect on it,,,,
And we call ourselves land of pure!!!!
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.
Can anyone tell me, who is the guy in quetta searching for sex and taking us to the top. Plus the main search language is chinese?? WTF?
http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex&date=all&geo=pak&ctab=0&sort=0&sa=N
Gr8 Achivmnt ... And Now We Can say That Pak Zindabad .....lol ...But Its Good To Hear Pta Dsl And World call Banned about 10000 Sex Sites In Pk ...
Well i was googling sex and i got here. so go figure
so....why they ban....porn...they should ban...sex not porn..
cause we are not in the list..of porn..
Seriously Express Tribune, stop pretending to be a newspaper and come out as a tabloid. Even Google says that Google Trends is not be trusted.
And given it is coming fron FOX NEWS Report, it must be the absolute truth.
http://www.google.com/trends
Pakistan tops the search words
Sex porn and xxx. On the trends. ( on above link change time frame to 2011 )
lol. Now I understand how Veena malik got motivation
@Samad India has more cities than Pakistan in general, not to mention that India's total population is more than six times that of Pakistan.
Men are horny devils and Pakistani men are there 'Bap'
Spreading love strong text
its totally fake...its not possible... do not just believe what others are saying...
its totally fake...do not just believe what the media says...
O my goodness. Now west should avoid calling Pakistanis as fundamentalist. This shows how people liberals in our country. bravo everybody enjoying their own trends.
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.
http://www.riazhaq.com/2010/07/exposing-hateful-lies-on-google.html
This is shameful.
Fox News report republished by Tribune.
Just read between the lines and understand. Why am I not surprised?
Fascinating -- yesterdays headlines include an article talking about the govt denying access to thousands of porn sites and the general commentary was strongly in favor. Today's headline points out Pakistan remains king of porn searches and the commentary is mostly denial. I think Pakistani's need to come to grip with reality -- land of the pure you ain't.
@TrueMuslim: Also see the positive side. Pakistan ranks either 1st or 2nd in the searches like Biotechnology, Physics, Education, Teacher, Research, Textile, Engineering, Agriculture, Zoology…………. and many more. http://www.google.com/trends
Google Trends is far from being accurate!
Fox News reports are far from being truthful in many cases!
Also see the positive side. Pakistan ranks either 1st or 2nd in the searches like Biotechnology, Physics, Education, Teacher, Research, Textile, Engineering, Agriculture, Zoology............. and many more. http://www.google.com/trends
This is a conspiracy to defame Muslim countries and Islam. They deliberately show Muslim countries looking for porn!!!!!!
GOOGLE IS OWNED BY JEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least we Pakistani reached on top! :P
WHO CARES!!!
At the end of the day, we all die and be nobodies.
So, who cares if you watch porn for your needs or you are a Hugh Heffner?
Don't worry. Just be happy.
Can you ever include some positive news in your paper? What about the fact that for 'education' and 'university' Pakistan is the top searcher in Google?
Shame shame to all of above and to Pakistan!
Always highlight the negative. Good job Pakistani news paper.
Well, because our new generation is highly suffering from depression, depression of economy, depression of education, depression of future, depression of financial crisis, depression of CNG, PETROL, LOAD SHEDDING, GAS LOAD SHEDDING, LAWLESSNESS, TERRORISM etc.... So one seeks relief from mental stress in watching porn and having drugs. Our young generation must not be held responsible for all this infact our corrupt rulers are responsible.
It is absolutely absurd to even believe in the story line. I have read these news before in many newspapers on many websites and fail to understand that the percentage of Pakistanis who use internet is far less than that of USA, INDIA, UK, JAPAN, IRAN, CHINA. Even if we assume that all Pakistanis are searching for sex still Pakistan cannot be number one on such indexes.
Its time to use some brain.
can google tell who is on top wile making SEX tapes.............?
I would recommend that The Tribune's web desk should once again study how to gain accurate and correct analysis regarding searches done on google and where those searches are originating from. The article says that Google trends can be used to study that data. I have worked for Google for one year, we have tools at Google which provide us with accurate statistics of searches and their geographical origins , and that data is used to direct advertisements related to those searches in real time. i will be providing some interesting facts related to searches done by users categorized geographically. If anybody has interesting ideas , do share with me
technically speaking google trends is always incorrect.. "Google Trends uses IP address information from server logs to make a best guess about where queries originated".... and that is why ISB and LHR are listed.. because PTCL and Mobilink IP addresses are registered in ISB and Wateen and LDN addresses are registered in LHR... :) their algo sucks big time.. no body around the world cares about google trends.. but ofcourse we do..
Dear Indian Friend, please check the Google trends, out of 10 cities 7 belongs to India, so congratulation from our side for doing marvelous work :)
Then why the hala-gulla about Veena Malik's recent photos. Is local talent not appreciated?
this is so lame, this shows we are equal in number of internet users with eurpeon countries or US. Ground reality is, alomost 50% of Pakistanis dont know that how to use computer.
Secondly, who is number 1 in uloading porns? US, Canada, Austrailia, France...?????
@Sohail Rizki: :))))) whispering ....check out who watches bollywood movies maximum...lol.shhhhhhh!!!!
Pakistan is among top ten countries in search of Universities, Engineering, Medical Sciences, Teachers, Scholarships, Fashion, jobs, etc.....what about that??
http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2011-12&sort=0 says srilanka.why you have to always blame Pakistan?
@Baber: Yeah I agree with you.
The editor needs to investigate before publishing. All they want is just to make headlines, they don't care what impact it would have on the society. Shame on them.
i wish this stat could reveal how much women have searched this word. there is a generalization only men search "sex" which is not true!
Pakistan also tops the list for the word "jobs"
So what?
We totally rule mannnn ;)) we Pakistanis have our needs too u know hahahaha
Pakistan is far far ahead than any country searching for "indian songs" How is this even possible? don't indian search for their own songs? http://www.google.com/trends?q=indian+songs&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
i have checked Pakistan also tops in searching for "songs". i don't think Pakistanis love music more than Indians.
@Anonymous: Because they do not find sex on the street as in non-Muslim countries.
At least we are on the top i something :D
Follow the link to know how many people actually watch porn in an average 60 seconds. http://ihunzai.com/60-seconds-is-not-that-less-infographics
Its a Fake Report Guys Its Imposible
Btw population size has been taken into account because the rank is calculated by dividing the number of searches for the term by the total number of google searches from that area. So it is a relative measure rather than an absolute one.
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:

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.
Regards,
Hashaam
It is not Pakistan only five out of ten countries are Muslim majority countries.
really shame on us.
How can you people point out Veena for all what she has done; Hypocrites!!
The search 'sex' on google doesn't bring good results... it only shows curiosity (because they have heard such things) . In the west, people know which websites to go to and have credit cards to watch porn. In Pakistan, poor guys just watch some dirty pics and think this is the end of the world!
Oh common i mean go to google insights. Pakistan isnt on 1st they are on 5th number :P
I would rather have my countrymen searching SEX on internet than killing people on the streets!!
Maintained?
Last year, Pakistan wasn't even in the top 10 for neither sex nor porn.

Don't just rewrite what others publish and do your own research you lousy editors.
lollllllllllllllllll we are just watching and the other countries are making so no need to worry !!!! we are not involved in real bad things.
Well, the previous one was fake though. (reported by Fox i think) Let see thing in different perspectives...
What a shame...PTA pls wak-up..
Why so much fuss about it? Had it been in some western country, it would have been termed as a basic human need but here..... Get over it.
@muhammad behzad
Atleast looking for in the walls of their homes ... not displaying their assests to the world :)
the hypocrisy of our society stands exposed.we scream at veena malik for bringing bad name to islam and pakistan while the reality is that our public is obsessed with sex the most in the world.all that shouting and screaming over qaum ki ghairat while the mard-e-momins are busy looking up sex on the internet.
... which nation had issues with Veena Malik again?
Where is Karachi???
Amazingly Pakistan also tops the google trends in "Education" and Teachers" searches globally.......Does anyone have any explanation for that.
@wise counsel & IndianDude,
I was just pointing to yet another fraternal bond here:-) I do not deny the stats.
Mard-eHaq,
Hahahaha. Pakistan is closely followed by India. So, the South Asian brothers do share similar tastes in forbidden, vicarious pleasures.
Congratulation on your victory over india:D. Please do note that india has 8 times the population of pakistan and even more internet user by percentage. The google trend value is not normalized to a given city/nation but to the entire global traffic as a whole.
BTW, china is #1 on "sex" search but google can not get access to the chinese data due to chinese government filtering of internet.
Oh I see... It was this Tsunami Imran was talking about!
Congratulations Pakistan.
We must make love, not war.
Good grief.
God bless PAKISTANI women
To relieve oneself is not only a basic human need, it's healthy and helps a human function per normal. Don't let the mullahs tell you otherwise.
@Mard-e-Haq: hullo mister....compare 1.2 billion population : 200 million.Shame !!
Atleast we came No.1 in something
Hahahaha. Pakistan is closely followed by India. So, the South Asian brothers do share similar tastes in forbidden, vicarious pleasures.
yeh cheez.
