Few things are bigger than Bigfoot's, um ... appeal right now. 。

After Virginian Republican congressional candidate Denver Riggleman was accused of being a lover of Bigfoot erotica by his Democratic opponent Leslie Cockburn, searches for actual Bigfoot porn have skyrocketed.
。

Pornhub reports that the number of searches containing the word "Bigfoot" rose by a gargantuan 8,037% increase within 24 hours of when the news broke. That, of course, means that a huge number of people flocked to the porn site to see what Bigfoot erotica is all about. And who can blame them?

And as it turns out, porn, like politics, is local. Virginia residents were 38% more likely to search for "Bigfoot" than any other state, according to Pornhub's data.。

"Bigfoot has long been a subject of eroticism," Alex Hawkins, VP of porn platform xHamster said in a statement. "Explicit videos featuring the big ape go back at least to the 1970s, but in many ways the scenario — an ape ravaging an innocent woman — date back to the 1930s with King Kong." 。

It's not unusual for porn searches to spike like this when something is in the news, but this jump, like Bigfoot himself, are unusually large.。
