Switzerland Insights
In this edition of Insights we’re continuing our European coverage with FM1 Today and the porn viewing habits of Swiss visitors. Switzerland ranks 31st for traffic to Pornhub, well ahead of it worldwide population rank of 99. The most popular search in Switzerland is “swiss”, followed by “deutsch” and “german”.
Red Dead Redemption
Eight years have passed since the last Red Dead series game was released, so to say that Red Dead Redemption 2 was a hotly anticipated title would be an understatement. The Sun asked the Pornhub Insights team if this had any effect on searches.
Our statisticians found that searches containing “red dead” began to increase on Pornhub several days before the October 26th release, as the final launch trailer and game details hit the internet. Searches continued to grow following the launch, reaching 731% above average on October 28th.
Halloween Insights
Halloween has become a tradition on the Pornhub Insights blog with holiday data released in 2015, 2016, 2017 and now 2018. This year we’re going to kick things off with the most helpful of spooky Insights; the costumes and characters that are presently being searched most often on Pornhub. So if you’re heading out to a Halloween party, these are the sexy costumes most likely to get you noticed.

In 2017 Pornhub had 28.5 billion visits, up from 23 billion (24%) in 2016. According to internet analytics firm, Alexa, Pornhub is the 27th most popular website in the world. It ranked 18th within Australia (and 14th in the US, 15th in Canada, and 16th in the UK.)
Australians made the eighth highest number of visits to the website – the same position it held in 2016. Given the comparatively small population of Australia, its inclusion in the “top 10” suggests that Australians are, at the very least, curious about porn.
