LONDON -- Searches for clown porn00% Natural Friend’s Older Sister (2025)increased by 213 percent since the recent "creepy clown" craze took off, according to the porn website Pornhub.

Social media has been replete with creepy clown sightings since August. The first sighting happened in South Carolina, where a group of children claimed that clowns tried to lure them into the woods.

As the craze sweeps across the world -- including in the UK -- children have been left terrorised by clown sightings and professional clowns are complaining that their livelihoods are being ruined.There has, however, been one upside.

Clown fetish porn is seeing a colossal boom and it's partly because of the recent clown furore.

In the past 30 days, there have been over 100,000 clown related searches on Pornhub. "The most popular search is 'clown porn' followed by 'clown girl' and 'clown gangbang'. The impact of media coverage can be seen with terms like 'crazy clown', 'scary clown' and 'killer clown' moving above longer-term fetish favourites like 'midget clown', 'birthday clown', 'clown feet' and let’s not forget — 'clown fart'," reads a blogpost on the site.

Pornhub's statisticians also say that women are 33 percent more likely to search for clown porn than men.

While searches for clown porn typically increase in the run up to Halloween, the porn site believes that the recent unprecedented rise in clown porn has been caused by the amount of media attention garnered by creepy clown sightings.

"We’ve discovered many times before that increased media coverage will often result in more searches on Pornhub," continued the blogpost.
