The Millennial generation, members of which are also sometimes referred to as Echo Boomers, consists of the demographic cohort born roughly between the years 1982 and 2000. Through a special collaboration with our friends over at Mic.com, we’re taking a look at the particular way that Pornhub’s 18-34 users interact with the largest adult site in the world. Touted by some as the most tech savvy generation to date, millennials are generally known for being glued to their phones and sharing all aspects of their lives on social media.

There was that rather questionable play call during the game’s final moments, the brawl, the giant tiger transformer that Katy Perry rode in on, all of which was capped off by Gisele Bündchen’s husband taking home the award for MVP. Here at Pornhub and YouPorn HQ, what we will remember forever about 2015’s big game is how our traffic stats were affected. As we have seen during other sporting events such as the recent CFB Playoff game or the World Cup, traffic changes surrounding a major sporting event tend to cause a pattern resembling an upside down parabola. This year’s Super Bowl affected traffic on both Pornhub and YouPorn in this same way but let’s take a closer look at some of the specifics.
