Despite the fact that surveys on sexual tastes or paraphilias are often carried out, in reality such surveys have limitations: the sincerity of the respondent.
Another thing is the big data that we can extract from the searches carried out by men and women on pornographic video platforms, such as PonrHub. Through these searches we also have limitations, but there are advantages other than surveys: scrutinize a certain privacy in greater depth.
Humiliating sex: more for them than them
Violence against women remains devastatingly pervasive and starts alarmingly young, according to new data from the WHO. However, most rapes occur in the home or by family members or close friends, as is also the case with homicides.
Rape statistics do not reflect the truth about the number of sexual assaults or rapes, but rather tell us about the difference in perception, attitudes and general awareness towards sex offenders. And, of course, the fact that someone disapproves of sexual violence does not mean that, in private with her, he can harbor morbid fantasies related to forced or humiliating sex.
As Seth Stephens-Davidowitz explains in his book on big data Everybody lies about the searches made by users of platforms like PornHub, 25% of searches have to do with sex with violence, humiliation or pain. Twice as much as in the case of men.
