- Fans can also use free websites that allow users to upload and share content (e.g., PornHub, Xvideos,[sic] YouPorn, PornoTube). Porn consumers no longer need to set aside an evening to watch a rented or purchased movie; they don't need to schedule or plan their time with pornography.

- In the UK, 22 out of the top 500 most visited websites are porn sites. To put this in context, nearly 47 of the top 500 sites are different countries' Google homepages.
