There's an ideal job out there for everyone, and it seems like working in the ethical porn industry is more popular than you'd think, as tens of thousands of people applied for a role that was recently advertised.
In the end, the job went to Rebecca Dickson, from Greenock, Scotland, who says the job was 'made for' her.
Having come out on top ahead of more than 30,000 other applicants, Rebecca's first challenge in the job was to gather information on areas of focus of the 95 most popular porn videos on the internet. These included ethnicity, types of sexual intercourse, number of orgasms, sex positions, and the ratio of males to females.
“It is a much different endeavour than I am used to but I thrived on the new challenge and it was a role made for me. I found it very fascinating to explore a subject which is surrounded by stigma and this piece opens new viewpoints around the industry,” she said.
Of the 100 most popular porn videos in the world – measured in views – the research found the videos have an average of 65.41 million views. The most popular video that can be viewed on Pornhub has 230 million views, while the least popular, which also can be found on Pornhub, has a total of 40.1 million views.
Elsewhere, the study found the average length of the top 95 most popular porn videos is 14 minutes and 8 seconds. The longest is 39 minutes and 50 seconds, and the shortest is 4 minutes and 33 seconds. While it was also revealed that the most popular positions were doggystyle, cowgirl, and missionary.
Rebecca was carrying out the work for ethical sex site Bedbible, and in her role she is required to watch hours and hours of porn and gather data that will contribute towards an 'in-depth report about tendencies and statistics in porn'.
Speaking to the New York Post about the whole, rather bizarre thing, the 22-year-old said: "It's amazing. I'm still in shock. It really doesn't get much better than this.
"Usually when I would watch on my own for pleasure, I'd skip through certain bits, but obviously now I'm watching the videos in full."
Speaking of the new employee, Jacob Bager, co-founder at Bedbible, said: "Rebecca is the natural choice for us. She's open-minded and motivated to be a part of the world's first in-depth porn statistics.
"We only work with people that are 100 percent passionate about the topic."
