Bing Gets A Thumbs Up For Porn Searches

Anyone who's tried to search for porn on google knows what a royal pain in the ass it can be, especially now that they've made it even tougher on adult advertisers. Well fear not intrepid internet searchers, Bing appears to be where it's at.

Thanks to a rigorous, investigative piece by AVN (link below), Bing's popularity is on the rise. Emma Cueto from Bustle provides empirical data to back this up.

"Overall, between the search results, the video preview feature, and the fact that it seems to be way easier to turn off safe searching, Bing does seem to be better at bringing you porn. But really that’s not so surprising—it’s actually the sort of thing I’d expect from a search engine whose commercials strongly suggest Google-related daddy issues. No, the surprising thing is that Bing actually did beat Google at something. Who would have ever guessed it? I mean, I know that Bing is the world’s third most popular search engine and all, but since that still means they’re losing to Yahoo, that isn’t saying much. 

"But when it comes to porn," she added, "they seem to be number one."

Daily Dot writer E.J. Dickson (who should really be working for Fleshbot with that name presuming E.J. means Enormous Johnson), added that...

when Google "tweaked" SafeSearch in 2012, making it "much harder to find hardcore smut on the search engine," a migration of porn fans to Bing quickly began, an otherwise unlikely event considering the fact that Bing, according to Dickson, is "a.k.a. the search engine you only reluctantly use after searching for anything on Facebook."

Look, I know these are all back-handed compliments, but as someone who actively searches the various internets for porn, I can tell you for a fact that Bing has got it going on. To paraphrase Ed Rooney's secretary Grace, "The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads... They all adore Bing. They think he's a righteous dude."
