As if Denmark needed any more proof that it is knuckling down to beat the coronavirus, it has come from the most unlikely of sources.

The Pornhub Model Program lets individuals upload their own videos, and in turn they earn advertising revenue according to how often their links are viewed.

And it turns out they owe quite a debt to the Danes, as interest in home-grown pornography is flourishing in Denmark during the lockdown.

The amount of revenue generated by the site from Danish viewers grew by 53 percent between February and March, making the birthplace of legal hardcore pornography the world leaders.

Only Israel with a 48 percent rise, and Belgium with a 35 percent increase, came anywhere close to matching the Danes in the joystick department.

Industry insiders are unsure whether the general increase can be attributed to more time at home, or an increase in customer-less sex workers contributing videos to the site.

Around 70% of internationals come here to work or study – And this is why retention is a problem

According to Danmarks Statistik, of the 83,216 who moved to Denmark in 2024, 54,614 people immigrated to either work or study. This means that low retention is a real problem.
