The United States Top Searches

There’s nothing like an election year to illustrate how UN-united the United States of America can be. Political affiliations and porn appreciations both differ from state-to-state and coast-to-coast. Thus brings us to today’s Pornhub Insights topic – along with our friends at Vocativ, we present the top ranking search terms and categories across the United States.

“Lesbian” searches carpet much of the West, Midwest and East Coast, making it the top ranking term in more states than any other. Stepping up North, we find that “step sister” is the preferred search in states like Wyoming, Montana, Minnesota, Ohio and Maine, while “step mom” scores big in Alaska, Washington, Kentucky and New Hampshire.

More animated porn preferences can be found in Nebraska, Arkansas, Tennessee and Vermont where “cartoon” is the top ranking search. According to the 2010 Census, the states with the highest proportion of African American residents are Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia, so it’s no surprise to find that “ebony” and “black” are top search terms in those states along with Delaware.

A few stand-out states include Rhode Island where “MILF” searches rule, and Hawaii where they prefer searching for “asian” videos above all else.

Top Categories

While search terms can be quite subjective, many people prefer to browse videos in the nearly 100 category pages available on Pornhub. Here again, “Lesbian” is the top ranking category across much of the United States, very nearly mirroring our search term map. Interestingly though, “teen” is the top ranking category viewed in 19 different Western, Mid-West and North-East states, but it’s not a top searched term in any state. Across most of the South, plus New York state, the most viewed category is “ebony”.

We hope you enjoyed our colorful coast-to-coast trip across the United States. E pluribus unum, indeed.

  1. So do you only release this information in info-graphic form, or is there an extensive list that I can use for my own analyses?

      1. Its not just that. The south is pretty damn funny and hypocritical. People will say some racist stuff all the time… but really just want to bang the people they hate. Trust me on this…

          1. It’s not about the population of black people it’s about the hypocritical Strom Thurmond racist ass white boys who hate black men but secretly covet black women.

          2. I am from the south and I have always prefered white girls/women. That’s just how I think. I like those sexy skinny blondes with a great southern accent.

          3. I have had opportunities to be with very nice looking black women and I choose not to to that. Very attractive black women.

          4. Are you white and are you from the south. If you’re not, you don’t know shit.

          5. Typical racist ass southern white boy, think you know everything but don’t know shit.

          6. No, but it’s racist to think if you aren’t white you don’t know shit. It’s how you’re wired.

          7. This is a convesation about what the average white man in the south thinks about having sex with black women. A white male from the south is the only expert on this particular question. That’s not racist.

          8. The black population is largest is the southeast because they are treated the best here. You yankee fuckers chased them away by being mean to them when they tried to move north.

          9. They came home or stayed home because they knew us southerners. You are the ones that fucked them over when they looked for opportunities in your area.

          10. I love an international America. I love going to DC and hearing so many different languages spoken. We are a great country that encompasses so many nationalities. That makes me proud. Fuck Trump.

          11. I’m not attacking you. I have had someone else on this page attacking me. I have a message. Southern white people aren’t trying to fuck over black people and I think black America knows that.

          12. Worse than that, they are trying to inter-marry with them and destroy Black culture and identity in the process. White’s are “killing them with love.”

          13. I would marry a black woman, if she was the right woman for me. I am white and I have always prefered white.

          14. And the Black men are searching for “White woman porn,” whilst the racist, red-neck, Whites are searching out “Ebony Sisters.” Strange world…

        1. as someone from the south who still lives there, i can tell you a lot of people my age have racist parents and it’s something we don’t mind. i have dated several black/ hispanic women. my parents hate it. i don’t care.

        2. it’s well known that blacks want to bang white chicks, it’s in their genes that white chicks are like a trophey..

    1. The legendary psychologist Sigmund Freud, explained that it is perfectly normal for males to subconsciously desire to murder their Fathers and to have sex with their Mothers. These searches prove Freud was 100% correct. Google

      “Oedipus complex”

  2. You think you’re smart, but you don’t know shit is all I’m saying. Is that simple enough for you.

    1. So you mad because some ebony chocolate won’t give you the time of day so now you are being hostile. Its not even about being smart, this is all about perspective and common knowledge. Especially for someone who lives in the south. Its alright though… You already have one foot in the grave. You might want to take it easy before you get too angry and have a stroke. Would be very embarrassing for people to find some old guy dead on his computer, getting angry about porn.

      1. You seem to think every southern white guy is out there banging black chics and it’s just not true. And I’m happy to have some years on me, I didn’t think I would live past 21 when I was younger. Now I have a great perspective from my years. I figure I’ll make 80, that’s plenty.

        1. Why are you so touchy? lol
          You didn’t bang any black chicks because they didn’t want you. So you are pretty bitter and trying to negate the fact that ebony folks are desired but of course the south doesn’t like that idea so its done in secret.

          1. Chip on your shoulder and trying your best to troll but the sad truth is that… I already called you out on your lies. No one wants you… especially black ones. Just get over it.

          2. I haven’t said anything that’s not true. And you obviously have much to see, observeand learn. Enjoy growing up small brained one.

          3. “Small brained one”. Man, I am going to save this one for my discussions. classy.

          1. Honestly, none, but there’s one I’m still kicking my ass for not banging. And to make matters worse, my little brother did bang her.

  3. Could’ve sworn Asian was most searched in Cali and Washington state the last time Pornhub did a state-by-state survey.

  4. Over how long was the data collected to construct this graphic? Is this a representative depiction of interests in the last few years or from that morning in February? Does this graphic change drastically every day? How solid are these ratings?

    1. We use Google Analytics to compile this data and it is all normalized. What’s depicted here is data that shows that these have been the most popular in the particular states for several weeks at least, so no it doesn’t change every day.

      1. what race are most of the porn hub users in general on your site? Also are most of the porn hub users in the southern states black?
