More of What Women Want

After we initially ran the first installment of What Women Want back in September of last year, we got tons of questions from readers and reporters alike, asking us to go even further and into more depth with regards to the behavior of female Pornhub viewers. As a part of a special collaboration with RedTube (NSFW) as well as our friends over at The Daily Beast, we’re going to be doing exactly that with this installment of Insights. With the number of female viewers continuously growing, the way that members of the fairer sex engage with adult content remains an increasingly fascinating topic to explore. Today we’ll be examining everything from which search terms have increased in popularity among women over the course of the past year, to which countries currently have some of the highest and lowest proportions of female viewers.

Coming of Age: Millennials

The Millennial generation, members of which are also sometimes referred to as Echo Boomers, consists of the demographic cohort born roughly between the years 1982 and 2000. Through a special collaboration with our friends over at Mic.com, we’re taking a look at the particular way that Pornhub’s 18-34 users interact with the largest adult site in the world. Touted by some as the most tech savvy generation to date, millennials are generally known for being glued to their phones and sharing all aspects of their lives on social media. Thanks in part to the open and rapid access to information afforded to this group by the web in their formative years, the sense of media awareness and general world views of these 18-34 year-olds truly sets them apart from previous generations in the way that they consume online.

After having spent some time looking at the porn habits of visitors to our site in both the State of New York and Illinois, the Pornhub statisticians have headed south. We’re looking at you, Alabama! That’s right, we’re in the Heart of Dixie examining what the people of Alabama like to look at the most when playing with theirs. As some of you may have heard by now, Pornhub is in the process of crowdfunding the first ever sex tape made in space, and seeing as workers from Alabama built the first rocket that put man on the moon, we couldn’t help but want to stop in and check out the state’s porn stats. At the request of our friends over at AL.com, we’re coming at you today with a huge load of Yellowhammer State data. There’s lots to cover, so let’s begin. Continue reading “Pornhub & Alabama”

The state of New York ranks 3rd after California and Texas in terms of most visitors to Pornhub within the United States.
