Pornhub is celebrating a decade of helping horny people get off. They crunched some data and found out the most popular porn categories worldwide.
Lesbian porn was a big hit with women last year as searches for lesbian scissoring and lesbian seduces straight girl jumped. Also, Millennials are totally into cartoon genitalia.
Girl on Girl
Girl on Girl explores the emotional and lived reality of feminine lesbian invisibility-the phenomenon by which LGBTQ women who are feminine or passable (e.g., cisgender, white) are assumed to be straight and rendered invisible to themselves and each other. The film chronicles the lives of six women through a series of home movie vignettes and confessional style interviews, touching on family tensions, feminist politics, gender identity, homelessness, motherhood and racism.
Girl on Girl fills a gap in LGBTQ media by providing positive, diverse representations of feminine lesbian women and their experiences. The film was awarded a grant from NYFA’s 501(c)3 Fund for Documentary Arts.
Transgender
It’s no secret that pornography fetishizes underage girls and teens, which is why “teen” porn has been one of the most popular searches on Pornhub for years. But this year, it’s no longer in the top 10. The reason for that is unclear, but we have a theory: teen porn might now be so popular that it has been absorbed by the rest of the categories on the site.
Another interesting finding from the Pornhub Year in Review is that Americans love to search for lesbian porn. In fact, it’s the number one search term on both Pornhub and xHamster. Abella Danger has surpassed Lana Rhoades as the number one searched porn star in America, while Riley Reid, Violet Myers, and seductive Australian Angela White round out the top five.
Hentai is also making waves in Pornhub’s 2021 Year in Review. It’s a controversial genre that has been condemned for promoting harmful stereotypes and glorifying racism, but it has exploded in popularity since Fifty Shades of Grey introduced BDSM to the mainstream. This may be because horny teenagers are looking for a way to spice up their step-brother and step-sister relationships.
Pornhub’s 2021 Year in Reviews also reveal that American viewers are interested in lesbian, threesome, and MILF porn. The site also shows interest by state, with residents of Utah searching for Mormon porn, and Texans googling the word “panties” more often than other people. Pegging is the most popular search term in Wisconsin, while stepsmom is a favorite in Ohio.
Hentai
Hentai porn is a type of Japanese erotic anime that’s popular with men and women. It focuses on perverted sexual desires and includes pornography that’s not only explicit but also graphically violent. The term “hentai” comes from the Japanese word hentai seiyoku, which means “perverted desire.” The genre has gained popularity worldwide for its explicitness and violence. The fetishes explored in hentai porn include incest, bestiality, and rape fantasies. The animation in hentai porn allows viewers to view and enjoy the sex in a way that would be impossible or illegal in real life.
A recurring theme in hentai porn is female genitalia. Fans of the genre will often search for ecchi porn by typing “gay” or “Yaoi” into a search box. This can lead to a wide variety of anime-themed pornography, from softcore sex to hardcore ecchi. The popularity of hentai porn is due to its ability to satisfy the sexual desires of many different people.
Pornhub’s Year in Review shows that while COVID-19 has changed the adult industry, it hasn’t eliminated its fetishization of women and reduction to identity. The top search terms on the tube site show that MILFs are still porn royalty, dominating the list in 2021. Pornhub’s map of searches by country also reveals that lesbian porn is most popular in North America, while a sizable portion of South Americans prefer anal.
Mature
If you’re looking for grannies or crusty old daddies, Pornhub has a category just for you. Mature porn, which also includes hentai, which refers to Japanese animated porn, is the fifth most popular porn category on the site. But even though teen porn is no longer a top five search term (it was last year) MILF and stepmom porn is still very much in demand.
The adult site’s dirty data also reveals that lesbian porn remains the most popular category overall, but it varies by region. For instance, lesbian porn topped the list in North and South America while Hentai ruled in Russia. The creampie category is a close second, which is likely due to the popularity of the money shot, where a penis-owner licks their partner.
Pornhub’s full report also breaks down top searches by country, showing that Americans lead the way in horny searching. But not all are created equal: women delve far more deeply into lesbian porn than men. They’re also more into sexy cosplay.
