What’s up on Insights today? Wedgies! Our statisticians have been digging deep to pull out all the wedgie data they can find as a part of a special partnership with our friends over at Metro UK. While wedgies are generally considered a not-so-pleasant experience in everyday life, it’s actually a fetish that brings pleasure to a lot of Pornhub visitors.
As the following chart illustrates, wedgies gained some serious pull throughout 2016. After reached their highest point in March of 2017, wedgies have since eased back a bit.
The most popular wedgie related search is “girl wedgie”, followed by “wedgie fetish” and “hanging wedgie”. Searches for “atomic wedgie” are also popular, but don’t quite make it over the top. Many popular wedgie searches are similar to other BDSM terms like “punishment”, “bondage”, “domination” and “spanking”.
Before searching for wedgies, the same Pornhub visitors are most likely to search for “spanking” and “thong”.
Men are 17% more likely to seek out wedgies compared to women, and Pornhub visitors between the ages of 18 to 24 are 208% more likely to search compared to all other age groups. Our data shows that wedgies have less reach as Pornhub visitors age.
Across the U.S., it’s the state of Mississippi that’s most in need of wedgies, where searches are proportionately more popular than elsewhere in the country. Conversely, wedgies are least popular in the state of Hawaii.
Of all the countries in the world, it seems that Americans are the most in need of wedgies. They’re also popular in Slovenia, South Africa, Canada and Croatia.
