Americans Alleviated Tax Day Stress by Surfing Sex.com

MONTREAL, Quebec—Since the mid-1800s, America’s relationship with taxes has been complicated to say the least. This past Tax Day, it seems more Americans sought to alleviate the stress that comes with forking over a chunk of their income with Sex.com. Sex.com receives approximately 350,000 unique visitors per day from the United States. That figure tripled on Tax Day, April 15, with 953,783 unique visitors. While some, including the Sex.com staff, might be quick to write this phenomenon off as a coincidence, the states with the most visitors included California, Hawaii, Oregon, Minnesota, Iowa, New Jersey, Vermont, New York, Maine and Florida. Florida is the only state of the ten listed that is not also included on the Federation of Tax Administrators top 10 highest income tax states. Historically, the top states visiting Sex.com on any given day are: California, Texas, New York, Illinois, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, Georgia and North Carolina. As if this weren’t already strange enough, Sex.com’s research into the Americans' influx can’t help but raise some eyebrows. Tax Day’s top search terms for users within the United States included: office, office porn, sex in office, co-worker, BDSM, gangbang, lesbian, POV, deepthroat and Mia Khalifa. Sex.com’s hypothesis for the increased interest in the United States for office-related adult material: a desire to see people in administrative positions, like the ones collecting their tax dollars, debased to relieve frustration.
