Some people feel very comfortable working from home, according to a new report.
The report prepared by Ofcom reveals that a fifth of Britons admit to watching pornography during working hours.
Of the 13.8 million people who watch pornography online, more do so between 9:00am and 5:30pm than at any other time of the day.
And it’s not just a quick session – people who watch porn in a workday spend 55 minutes on adult sites on average.
According to the report, the majority of pornography viewers are male, with men making up 73 percent of the total.

Office hours were actually the most common time people visited porn sites, closely followed by midnight to early morning
Opening hours were only tracked in terms of popularity in the early hours of the morning, between midnight and 8:59 a.m., when 18 percent of users visited adult sites.
The least popular time for Britons to access adult content was between 5:30pm and 7:59pm, with only 13% visiting the sites during this time.
However, Ofcom says it cannot be certain whether this behavior is due to increased working from home because it has no data from previous years to compare to.
Pornhub remains the most popular porn site in 2023.
In May, 18% of adults accessed the site, which is almost as many as the next two most popular sites combined.
According to Pornhub, the UK has the second highest number of visits to the site of any country except the US.
“Twenty-nine per cent (13.8 million) of UK online adults accessed a pornographic content service in May 2023, and access remained relatively stable year-on-year,” the report said.
Ofcom also notes that more adults were accessing the most accessed porn sites in 2023 than in 2022.
Five of the top 10 porn sites say their traffic has increased by at least 10 percent, while OnlyFans’ user base has seen growth of nearly 20 percent year-on-year.

The report added: “The top ten pornographic content services vary slightly depending on the age of the user.”
However, they note that “adult gif site Redgifs… only appears in the top 10 for adults under 25.”
While age has not been a determining factor in pornographic habits in Britain, there are significant differences between the sexes.
Overall, men were three times more likely than women to access pornography online.
However, erotic fantasy sites were proportionately used at a much higher rate by women than by men.
Lush Stories and Literotica had audiences that were over 40% female.
However, the site that was most popular among women was a site called Bellesa which specifically targets a female audience.
While women make up only 27 percent of porn viewers, this site’s audience was 65 percent female.
The Ofcom report also found that hentai, which the authors described as “a subgenre of anime or manga that includes explicit sexual content from anime and manga,” was mostly accessed by young people on desktop or laptop computers.
The audience for hentai, which was the third most popular search term on Pornhub globally in 2022, was 89 percent male and was most popular among 18-24 year olds.
The report indicates that the “Hentai Heroes” site ranked as the 40th most popular adult content site in May 2023.
However, when looking only at people who accessed porn using a computer rather than a phone, it jumps to the ninth most popular adult site in the UK.
