Porn customers across the UK were not able to pay with the online card system, or PayPal on Sunday October 30.
The failure hit customers from Kent to Kilmarnock, Prescot to Preston and Macclesfield to Melton Mowbray.
Unconfirmed reports noted customers in the Republic of Ireland may also have been struck by the technical fault including customers from Dublin, Cork and Waterford.
Various UK-based porn websites confirmed that at around 12.45pm they had temporarily switched off access in order to rectify the system issue.
This meant customers were unable to carry out their Sunday afternoon masturbation session and left many bulges in trousers across the nation.
Regular porn viewers have told of their experience.
A man who asked not to be named, but is a P. Skinner from Bootle, said: "I was so desperate I inadvertently went out and bought a carrier pigeon, and sent it with the payment in cash to the porn site's head office in London."
Two customers described visiting the website.
Michael Westbury from Hull said: "I was trying to access my favourite porn site, but all I got was an Error 404 message. Absolutely crazy!"
John Taylor from Ramsgate said that he had to resort to watching free porn sites, but that it "just wasn't as good" as his regular, paid content.
A spokesperson from the porn site said: “We are in the process of resolving a technical issue with our card payment system on site.
"We're continuing to process payments as quickly as we can but apologise to our customers for the inconvenience this has caused.”
"As a gesture of goodwill, we will be giving all our users one month free access as well as a meet and greet with the pornstars."
