Pakistan Tops Charts for Searching Sex on Google

By Mehwish Khan | 30, Dec 2011 | 85 Comments

With over 20 million internet users and growing fast, Pakistan tops Google search trends globally for searching keyword “Sex”. Though Sri Lanka outranked Pakistan in 2011 for same keyword search, however, Pakistan still remains at top for all time search trends for keyword “Sex”.

Check below screens for details:

Islamabad featured in the top 10 cities worldwide to search the word ‘sex’ in 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.

Similarly, Pakistan has this tendency of topping charts for other related keywords. Check below:

This information and screens are provided by Google Trends that 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.

Update:

Here we found out that Pakistan tops in many other search results, such as Quran, Education, Islam and so on. Click on this link for details.

maybe our medical students are doing some research on “sex” :/

enter this keyword in google trends “girls numbers”

its more shocking then “sex”
zain

one reason for coming number one use of only search engine “google”. people in pakistan hardly know about OR dont not prefer to use “bing” or yahoo search.
- Ali
  
  ya i agree with your both comments and i think its also time to try other search engines. the ban on porn sites will also help to lower our international ranking for sex search;-)
zain

i doubt these results although i know porn search is on rise in pakistan. i think they are made up to make these results.
if every internet user in Pakistan have searched SEX still i think Pakistan cannot come on number 1 as internet users in Pakistan are not much
- Ahmed
  
  I am not an IT expert and without commenting on the character of Pakistanis as a whole, I think we need to evaluate this claim on purely on statistical grounds. Worldwide population of internet users is more than 2 Billion, Pakistan being about 1% of this can in no way rank on top in any area, even if we assume that all Pakistanis search for the same term.
  But unfortunately we are so much impressed by the west that whatever they say we are used to believe this blindly. Giving news for the sake of giving and giving authentic news is different.
  - Shahid Saleem
    
    Ah, but you miss something out. What PERCENTAGE of Pakistan’s users search for sex online? If Pakistan’s population on the internet is just, say, 5% of world’s population, BUT 80% of Pakistan’s users search for sex, then clearly that’s a high ratio.
Ali S

I tried p*rn in Google trends…and Pakistan is not even in the top ten….something fishy here….

Why does Pakistan tops in the above mentioned terms, when its not even in the top ten for p*rn!! :-/
- Umair
  
  Because most of the people who search for porn do not know the term porn as their vocab is not so strong.
  - Chappelle
    
    EXACTLY, if you search blueprint, Pakistan will be no: 1 :P I am not kidding.

  i think we (pakistani) dont know word “porn” :)
  but i think we as muslim should not follow this way…
Observer

Not a news really!! Pakistan tops the charts in “sex” searches because ‘sex’ is probably the most ‘generic’ word related to Porn and this doesn’t necessarily mean that pakistanis are any bad than Indian, Brits or Americans for that matter. Just pick some more specific porn keywords, anal, tits, blowjob, porn itself and find me pakistan’s name there?

It’s a universal problem (porn is the biggest industry in US I guess?) so please don’t pin point Pakistan based on one keyword.
- MAK
  
  agree with you.
- Raz
  
  You are right. And it must always be remembered that no porn movies are made here in Pakistan yet. It is a mega industry which has its customers all over the world and Pakistan is just a tip of the iceberg no the whole.

Yeah Pakistan wins again !!! lolz
That happens when you try to manipulate a society and interfere in people business they find other ways to pleasure themselves. Its just the law of nature. If govt will ban on P0*n in Pak there will be just another step in manipulating the society.
kashif

Simply results can’t comment , we need to see sources of outcome
1. A single city (Lahore) can be on top in searches as compared to most notorious cities of India,Google needs to prove its authenticity.
2. I can’t believe a country with 5 times more population having same society patterns can be below Pakistan.
We need to see what facebook and google is contributing to Pakistan.
I think Pro Pakistani admin should not simply put results and low morale this society rather they should find out sources to authenticate the same.
http://twitter.com/asadkiani Asad Kiani

Pakistan is not even in the list for years 2003, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 and 2011. And Pakistan tops with only a small margin for years 2004 & 2011.
Now how come Pakistan is on top for all years?

Aiwein Pakistan ko itna ziada badnaam mat karo, theek hai k word “sex” ka viewer Pakistani sub se ziada hai, but jo dekhna chahtay hein wo kya hai? Word ko specify karo to banta hai word “Porn”. Aur porn ko zara search karo, Phir Pakistan aaya to batana mujhe zaroor. Aise he SIRF Pakistan aur Pakistaniyoon ko badnaam mat karo, sub aik jese hein. Usi cheez k liye Pakistani “Sex” word use karty hein aur SAFAID CHAMRI word ko specify kar k “Porn”. I hate all those who hate my Love, My Life, My Country Pakistan. Pakistan na hota to jee k dikhatay, Hinduon k ghulam hoty. Don’t say a word against Pakistan, system galat hai, Pakistan se q nafrat karty ho?

I dont think we search about sex most, its only that are vocabulary is not good, we only search word ‘sex’.
This leads to two problems,
1. we only see boring conventional sex related content on internet and
2. we top the charts :(

Do u knw pakistan is also on top for search of the words like Quran, Hadees, Allah, Muhammad, Hazrat Muhammad PBUH, Hazrat Muhammad, Surah Fatiha, Islamic Books and Imaan on google? NO U DON’T KNW! i guess no one bothered to do some research. why are we ppl so lakeer ke faqeer? so the western media tells us this and we’ve to copy paste it everywhere? It’s Pro Pakistani so i guess you should portray the positive image of pakistan over here. Ain’t the western media enough for making us look like sexual freaks?
kkz

Word “SEX” is also use for medically. It’s just an other try to build bad image of Pakistan.
Now Propakistani is like commercial sites or companies press release sites, Not work for creating good knowledge plz build the nation not destroyer it by making there morals down,
If propakistani cover IT then have any thing about Arfa Karim World’s youngest Microsoft Certified Professional, did u guys know she have a heart attack?? any supporting article for her??

Nazakat Hussain

A random thought..

In regions, Pakistan ranked first?
In cities, there is no name of country’s city?
In languages, there is no language (English) used to search?

When Pakistan ranks first, there should be at least 1 city on top which search sex on google. Also, there should be English language on top because people in Pakistan search material in English

Pleas clear if I am wrong..

  right

What’s the worry if we top in this search?
Shahzad

I think there is some competition (which post will get most comments) going on b/w Propakistani authors ….. that is why they have introduced “Top commented Posts of months” box too …. and in order to get their posts in that box they have start presenting things in worst possible way because they know Pakistanis are good in “Keeray nikalna” and this way they will get a lot of comments …. come on ProPaksitani …… by the way can you tell me which “Mission” of yours these type of posts fulfill ?

Its just how you translate the results.. for example.

1) Pakistan is on top for “sex”
2) 70% of sex movies are produced in USA.

Which means Pakistan is top nation who love to see American girls in action

shame on the people who think that whatever google says its 100% true for god sake

it is meant to be that way google is owned by jews and so is the porn industry then why do u think that they will give u the true picture

they will do anything to debase any islamic country

although the search for these videos and websites is great in our country but belive me this cant be true so many peeple have given us the figures that we dont even show on the radar relating to some keywords and not in 6-7years of the decade then all of a sudden we jumped to top

comeon people open ur minds these are all mindgames what we have to do is stand upto them and challenge these figures but our govt is watching porn as well so why not keep on doing that

but that doesnt mean we are the most frustrated people in the world we do have women here we have the most number of marriages and so on

To me this news that Pakistan tops the chart for searching term/word sex was not much shocking though I still think that why there is no European country there? Evan the U.S is at 6th place which I cant accept.

Can you assume there are more internet users in Pakistan than U.S.

Bwahahaha !!! This could be true but the most real perverts are indian guys ! But you guys are all the same, indians or pakistani when you wanna chat with a girl you’re like “hi diear…. nice pic dear…. dear you’re beautiful dear…. dear can I have your number dear…..”
You’re way to charm a girl is really ridiculous !

Due to religion pakistanis are less perverted but indians oh my god they have really no shame they’re the most perverts ! On internet and in live !

har jagah aise log paye jatay hain,chalo maan liya k pakistani is ko the most search karty hain. is main se 98% tou zarurat ke teht karty hain, hamary haan aisa koi system nhi js se is tarah ki info mil sakay and for the people who are going to be married ye sab jan’na zruri hota hai, aur is k lye net pe searching k elawa koi way nhi hai. on the other side, European countries main to yeh sab khulam khula chalta hai they dont need to search on net. I think thats the main reason behind it

You will find that Chinese Language search is more than English. What does it means? Who speaks Chineses in the Pakistan?
Also see the top cities of Pakistan where more Chinese are living like Quetta, Islamabad/Rawalpindi and etc.

And I do request to all these Muslim brother to take this article +ve to build our characters.

I did my research the last time this thing exploded on FB that Pakistans are topping online sex charts and all that. There is no argument that in Pakistan sex searchers are too many but then again the western people are No Where.. Well the reason is understandable because one thing is to do it and one thing is to watch..and they prefer more to do things! thats the way the roll i guess..But NO WHERE ?????? and moreover, if you look for keywords like pig *** and stuff like that also fetish and all, Pakis Indies Lankans bangladeshis are topping again.. so the trend is definitely there but to fabricate it in a way that WE do it all is unfair. So google InSight is something i dont believe in.
- Chappelle
  
  So you are saying that humans beings by nature want a lot of ‘sex’, and that Western people do a lot of sex so they don’t need much of the internet porn compared to us? That’s your argument?
  Google Insight is not fishy. Why don’t you accept the fact that maybe, just maybe, our nation is a little too perverted.
  Don’t believe me? Why don’t you search the term ‘blueprint’ (Our folks are a little too dumb to search for ‘porn’), Pakistan tops in it too!
  I still can’t believe people are blindly defending our nation in the face of these hard facts!
Oak

I dont know the exact mechanics. But being a research professional its important to take weightage so i am not surprised to see that. In accordance with the number of internet users the proportion of word sex might be higher. But i agree we should not only focus on negative things.

The main reason seems the increasing trend of Internet usage in Pakistan specially in Lahore , Karachi and Islamabad specially with the emergence of speedy ISP services. I would request youth to search for stuff that would help improve your career along with the manly power :D

this study made as a project of anti-Pakistan. this is false study. donot believe on it.
Atif

No its not alarming, sex is the basic instinct, and due the down going economy, average age of marriages in middle class society is on the rise.
Porn videos and stuff is only a way in our culture to satisfy the sex needs. If we compare us with western countries they have a lot of opportunities to get involved in sex, and if not real sex, they have access to sex toys to somewhat fulfill their needs. But for a country like Pakistan even though social values are decreasing but still there is no easy way to get sex that easily, so they try to fulfill their needs with alternatives.

I dont get why do we always have to emphasize on the negative aspects! I refuse to believe that these reports convey the truth. All the media is controlled by the Jews.They choose how to convey their messages or precisely, how to brainwash people.

The author is illeterate in how keyword ranking is considered and also only knows that sex only means porn.
This word is also used medically many times. Do not just judge charachter of whole nation just by one word.
Moreover, trend reports are not 100% correct. So, one cannot just rely on these reports. There is also discrepancy between top countries,cities and languages.
Well, why dont you write on positive points and appreciate them, rather de moralizing the nation?
One thing else, you are also de moralizing your blog.
