Introduction <p>Pandemic uncertainty has led to a significant increase in online pornography consumption as individuals sought ways to cope with stress and isolation during lockdowns, raising concerns about its potential long-term impacts on mental health and relationships. This surge in consumption is not limited to general online activities but extends to more concerning forms of content, including violent and abusive sexual material. This investigation examines the asymmetric impact of pandemic uncertainty on online pornography consumption, explicitly focusing on the ten selected countries with the highest viewership of such content (USA, UK, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, India, and Mexico).</p> Methods <p>Departing from traditional methods that mainly use panel data and might overlook varying economic conditions across countries, the present research applies the Quantile-on-Quantile technique. This method examines the relationship between variables in specific national contexts to enhance research accuracy and deepen understanding of the global scenario, uncovering unique insights into diverse economies. Moreover, this study employs an extensive pandemic uncertainty index that integrates data from several pandemics, unlike previous studies that relied on a single variable like COVID-19.</p> Results <p>The results observe a positive connection between pandemic-related uncertainty and online pornography across several quantiles of selected nations.</p> Conclusions <p>The research highlights the significant relationship between pandemic uncertainty and online pornography consumption, emphasizing the diverse impacts across different economies.</p> Policy Implications <p>The findings accentuate the importance of policymakers to devise efficient policies by closely monitoring fluctuations in pandemic uncertainty and online pornography.&#xa0;</p>
