Gay Searches in the United States

As part of a special collaboration with Daily Dot, Pornhub Insights is looking into the popularity of gay porn (nsfw) for the first time, beginning with Americans who account for nearly 40% of Pornhub’s 60 million daily visitors. The proportion of visitors viewing Pornhub’s gay male content in the United States has grown 45% from 2012 to 2016.

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.
