London, January 17 (ANI): The days of the year Americans are least likely to watch pornography is Christmas, a new survey has revealed.

Website Pornhub - which allows free access to millions of X-rated videos - analyzed their U.S. traffic in 2012 last week to work out when they had the highest and lowest number of viewers.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the days when porn was least watched are all holidays - with the top three being Christmas Day, Thanksgiving and Easter Sunday, the Daily Mail reported.

Americans are least likely to indulge in their X-rated habits on December 25 - perhaps due to the distraction of too much family, too much food and too many presents.

Similarly Thanksgiving on November 22 - the day to be thankful doesn't appear to stretch to indulging in porn.

It looks like some porn fans' religious obligations also get the better of them in early April as visits to Pornhub take a dip on Easter Sunday.

Christmas Eve hits the list at number four, when it's likely that last-minute gift-buying and turkey-basting takes precedence.

Independence Day comes in at number five, when Americans are presumably too busy celebrating their Fourth of July freedom to bother with online antics.

New Year's Day makes an appearance next - suggesting a link between those who like to party to excess.

Next on the list this year was October 20 - the day when Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast and Americans had more far important things on their minds.

Both days of Memorial Day weekend saw a dip in those watching porn followed by Father's Day.

Unsurprisingly, Valentine's Day sees porn viewing at an annual low - with the promise of real-life sex still preferable to that in cyberspace - however it does come bottom of the list.

The slowest days for online porn are:

Christmas Day - December 25

Thanksgiving - November 22

Easter Sunday - April 8

Christmas Eve - December 24

Independence Day - July 4

New Year's Day

Superstorm Sandy - October 20

Memorial Day weekend - May 26 and 27

Father's Day - June 17

Valentine's Day - February 14 (ANI)
