11 times a day? Ooof.
55 times a day?!
It's called edging and it's art.
Or two sittings? Combining to that average...
Two sittings? Boaster!
Got to get that first thing in the morning nut, then there's the lunch time pick me up...
Between the /normal/ working hours of 9-5. NOT during their actual workday, as in they didn't correlate the results with the user's actual work schedule.
Pretty disingenuous title.
That data would be interesting to check, somehow I doubt the 50+ minutes makes sense. Maybe a median would be better.
Also writing "during the working day" as if everyone works at the same time on all days of the year…
We should... We should be able to watch a little porn at work
As a treat.
I'm not in trouble at all!
Who watches porn for an hour?
You guys waiting for a plot twist?
The average is actually a few minutes, but the average is skewed by long-jack John, who takes a month to finish and should not be counted
I think the edgers are bringing it up.
They always do it don't depending on how you look at it, which you shouldn't be.
"long-jack John" lmao
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH
LONG JACK JOHN HAD A MIGHTY LONG FAP
HEY LONG JACK JOHN
WOAH LONG JACK JOHN
A WHOLE MONTH OR MORE TIL THERE'S ROPES IN HIS LAP
AYE-AYE-AYE, LONG JACK JOHN
FIRE UP THE BROWSER AND SPIT IN YOUR HAND
HEY LONG JACK JOHN
WOAH LONG JACK JOHN
AN EXTENDED VACATION IN SELF-ABUSE LAND
AYE-AYE-AYE, LONG JACK JOHN
ALL US SHORT JACKERS ARE STANDING IN AWE
HEY LONG JACK JOHN
WOAH LONG JACK JOHN
AS A PILE OF JOHN'S BABIES MAKE A MESS IN HIS PAW
AYE-AYE-AYE, LONG JACK JOHN
FIRE UP THE BROWSER AND SPIT IN YOUR HAND
Well there's your problem, John. You gotta get some proper lube and you'll be bustin' nuts in no time!
I do. I must fuck the average. Hours. But it's edging
one of these days he's bound to fix the cable
Truly an important use of surveillance
With a little more surveillance we could figure out if they've purchased their porn watching license.
Oi! D'you 'ave a loicense to choke that chicken?!
People must have a lot of... time on their hands.
... a lot of something on their hands, anyway.
What else am i supposed to do at work?
Drive the bus properly?
Im keeping rhythm. If you dont like it take the train
For anyone wanting more context than the telegraph headline:

I'd be very interested to see this divided by the type of work people are doing. I bet people with more private workspaces, like people working from home, and executives, probably contribute to this statistic much more than people stuck in open plan offices.
A friend of mine keeps getting told off by his headmaster, now I know why.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One in five of millions of people watch pornography during the working day, according to the UK’s media watchdog.
The Ofcom study revealed that 21 per cent of 13.8 million people watch online pornography between 9am and 5.30pm for an average of 55 minutes.
Adults only spent more time watching pornography between midnight and 9am, with 59 minutes on average, according to the study.
In April last year, former MP Neil Parish resigned after he was caught watching pornography twice in the House of Commons.
The former Tiverton and Honiton MP admitted to watching explicit content inside the chamber, claiming the first time was accidental while looking at tractors but the second was a “moment of madness”.
A three-part study of 2,500 men and women in Hungary found eight different motivations behind internet pornography use.
The original article contains 268 words, the summary contains 135 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Talk about an absolutely worthless study that means nothing at all.
