  • - We all exaggerate and lie but alone on the Internet

  • our Google search history quickly reveals the truth.

  • With over three billion searches per day,

  • we can discover a lot about human desires and our secret insecurities.

  • So, how do you relate to this data?

  • First off, people are struggling to have sex.

  • Searches for "sexless marriage" are 3.5 times more common than "unhappy marriage"

  • and 8 times more than loveless marriage.

  • And, while the assumption may be that women have lower libido than men,

  • women are actually twice as likely to search for"my boyfriend won't have sex with me"

  • compared to men searching "my girlfriend won't have sex with me".

  • And, if you're worried that you aren't having as much sex as others,

  • just know they're exaggerating, too.

  • In terms of heterosexual sex, a large survey found that

  • women say they have sex 55 times each year, using a condom 16% of the time,

  • meaning 1.1 billion condoms a year.

  • Men claim to be using 1.6 billion condoms.

  • But only 600 million condoms are sold in America each year.

  • Perhaps this lack of sex is rooted in physical insecurities.

  • Unsurprisingly, men Google about their penises

  • more than any other body part,

  • in fact, more than lungs, liver, feet, ears, nose, throat and brain combined.

  • For every one search made by a woman about their partner's phallus,

  • there are roughly 170 searches men make about their own.

  • But guys, don't fret too much about your size,

  • as 40% of women are complaining that it's too big, causing pain.

  • When women search about their vaginas,

  • 30% of questions are related to how others perceive them, particularly the smell.

  • Women are also twice as likely to look up how to perform better oral sex compared to men.

  • And when men do search about oral sex tips,

  • they're just as likely to research how to perform it on a partner

  • as they are to Google how to perform it on themselves.

  • When it comes to pornography, of the top 100 searches on Porn Hub,

  • 16 of them are incest themed for men and 9 for women,

  • such as "brother and sister", "stepmom son", "father and daughter" and "real brother and sister".

  • Pornography searches can also help answer big questions about human sexuality.

  • In America, 5% of all porn searches among men are for gay porn.

  • But survey data and Facebook reports show that only 2 to 3% of men identify as gay.

  • The population of self-identified, openly gay men

  • is twice as high in Rhode Island, the state with the highest support for gay marriage

  • compared to Mississippi, the state with the lowest support.

  • One explanation is that those living in intolerant states move to more open states.

  • But statistics show this only accounts for half the difference.

  • Sadly, millions of Americans are living in the closet.

  • Pair that with Google Autocomplete which calibrates based on the most popular searches,

  • and you'll see that when you type in "Is my husband"

  • it Autocompletes to "gay"

  • Women are 10% more likely to type this in than "Is my husband cheating?"

  • which is the second most common option.

  • In 21 of the 25 states where "Is my husband gay" is most frequently searched,

  • Support for gay marriage is lower than the national average.

  • The same can be said for causal encounters on Craigslist

  • where ads for men seeking men are larger in less tolerant states

  • with highest percentages in Kentucky, Louisiana and Alabama.

  • Google Autocomplete won't suggest certain words it deems inappropriate

  • like "cock" or "porn", but if you type in "is it normal to want to",

  • Google used to suggest "kill".

  • Similarly, few would want to admit they regret having children,

  • but adults with children are 3.6 times more likely

  • to tell Google they regret having them than adults without children

  • will say they regret not having kids.

  • Google also reveals how racism is still alive and well.

  • The n-word is searched with the same frequency as the "Lakers"

  • and "migraine" with 20% of the searches including the term "jokes".

  • On Obama's first election night in 2008, when a lot of commentary focused on

  • praise over the historic night,

  • 1 in 100 searches that included the word "Obama"

  • also included KKK or the n-word.

  • Stereotypically, many assume most racism exists in the southern states,

  • but the highest racists search results were in upstate New York, western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.

  • Statistician Nate Silver found that the greatest correlation for predicting the Trump primary support

  • wasn't unemployment, gun ownership, religion or rates of immigration

  • but Google searches for the n-word.

  • Facebook data scientists have used status updates to measure the gross national happiness on each day,

  • and Christmas appears to be the happiest day of the year.

  • This is reflected in Gallup polls and Google searches as well,

  • but it's also important to be skeptical of how people appear on social media.

  • Respected magazine The Atlantic has 1.5 million followers on Twitter

  • while only 18 thousand follow the National Enquirer, a gossipy tabloid.

  • But, both have around the same physical and online circulation.

  • Or, consider the way a woman will describe her husband on Facebook versus Google searches.

  • On Facebook, the top terms for a husband is

  • "the best", "my best friend", "amazing", "the greatest" and "so cute"

  • while the top searches on Google related to their husband is

  • "gay", "a jerk", "amazing", "annoying" and "mean".

  • We decided to take a look into each other's search history

  • and found out some pretty interesting things about one another.

  • The research for this episode came from the fascinating book Everybody Lies

  • by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz.

  • We highly recommend it. And subscribe for more weekly science videos every Thursday.
