If the findings of new study are to be believed porn sites are facing chill as social networking sites are gaining popularity everyday.
To reach the conclusion, Bill Tancer, a self-confessed 'data geek', analyzed the search habits of more than 10 million web users.
The research shows that elbows, belly button fluff and ceiling fans rank among the things people fear most, as do social intimacy and worries about rejection.
Bill Tancer said: "As social networking traffic has increased, visits to porn sites have decreased."
A decade ago, porn-related searches accounted for 20 per cent of all internet searches made, he noted. They now account for about 10 per cent, said Tancer, who also found that web users aged between 18 and 24 were searching for less porn.
This is welcome news, indeed!
