Congress may be gridlocked but the latest figures from the porn industry give new meaning to the old adage, greasing a politician's palm. Washington, D.C. ranked No. 1 for the most online porn videos viewed per person last year.

The figure takes into account population differences.

Now you know what all those pols and government workers are doing with your hard-earned tax dollars.

Pornhub.com, an online site that shows previews and snippets of adult videos of every stripe, released the figures today, gleaned from the viewing habits of people who visited last year.

Base on its tabulations, the District of Columbia, which includes Congress, the White House and most federal government offices, ranked No. 1 per capita with 14.18 porn videos watched.

With a population of 617,996, based on the latest U.S. census data, that works out to just over 8.7 million video views in gross terms.

The District was followed by Hawaii at 7.57 videos per person. Apparently it gets pretty boring out in the middle of the ocean. Then, again it is a vacation destination.

Massachusetts and New York were next. In fact, the top ten locations were all on the Eastern Seaboard. (see table below) So it's safe to say uptight North Easterners aren't getting enough.

Surprisingly, or not so much, the porn site received the highest number of visitors, 12.82 million, on the second day after Christmas. Apparently people wanted to try out their new Christmas presents.

The lowest trafficked days of the year were Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, Easter Sunday, Christmas Eve and oddly, Independence Day (July 4).

Not so surprisingly, the most searched categories were "Teen," "Lesbian," "MILF," "Amateur" and "Ebony."
