Our data was collected by a dedicated team dedicated to statistical research. We hope it will once again convince you of the quality and excellence of the material found on Pornhub. Today, no other resource in the world can match the total number of videos and recordings. Currently, Pornhub gives porn sites a head start and lags significantly behind its competitors.
Year in Figures
Do you agree that size matters? If so, the following statistics will likely resonate with you. During 2018, the number of Pornhub sites reached 33. 5 billion. This is five billion more than in 2017. On average, the site received 92 million daily visitors. At the time of compiling these statistics, that number had grown to over 100 million. We imagine it figuratively. Pornhub.
The site”s server handled 30. 3 billion requests. That”s 962 requests in just one second. Porn sites are constantly being filled with interesting, funny, and fresh content, which consumers increasingly demand. Last year, professional models, amateurs, and resource partners were nowhere to be seen.
To this end, they uploaded 4. 79 new videos. The result has been over a million hours of premium content that can be posted on the site. Imagine that you started watching the 2019 video shortly after the Wright brothers first flew an airplane (this important event occurred in 1903). Then, 115 years later, you would only get to the last video.
All videos uploaded to Pornhub are of high quality. This means that the service works properly and without any complaints. In 2019, 4, 403 units of data were transferred. That”s 147 gigabytes per second. Imagine this amount. This is more than the total capacity of the global Internet for the entire 2002!
Pornhub users love to chat. Over the course of a year, they sent each other more than 64 million private messages. The number of comments simply cannot be counted — it amounted to 7. 9 million pornhubs — because in the territory of love and happiness, pleasant words bring visitors with comments. In most cases, these messages contain positive language, including words such as “love”, “excellent” and “sexy”. More than 141 million people took the time to vote for their favorite videos.
There are many events happening on the portal every minute:

Top Search Queries and A-List Stars
Share this information with your blog users. Popular searches on Pornhub are heavily influenced by the media and the latest pop culture events. Thus, one of the most famous porn stars in the world named Stormy Daniels (some say that she was the mistress of the US President!). ) topped Pornhub”s search list for obvious reasons. Fortnite has also seen an increase in searches every time a new character is introduced.
Dr. Rory Betito, director of Pornhub”s Center for Sexual Health, says these requests are a good trend. “These searches show that people are using our resources not only to satisfy their sexual desires, but also to gain new worldviews. For example, users are interested in popular video game characters and topics related to sex.”
It is known that fantasy plays an important role in the perception of pornography (and human sexuality in general). So it”s no surprise that people often want to see fictional video game characters in sexy stories. This gives us the opportunity to connect with them on an emotional level. Who hasn”t dreamed of seeing their favorite game character come to life? Last April, when Fortnite”s servers were down for a period of time, searches for “Fortnite” on Pornhub increased by 60% in 24 hours.
The top search in 2017 was the all-important “1080” (after all, it was the highest quality video we could find). Nowadays the demand for “Ultra-HD” is growing more and more. The popularity of romantic videos has also more than doubled. By the way, girls are interested in them twice as often as men.
Interest in transgender pornography is also growing. especially among the male audience (where the number of requests increased by 167%). Also among visitors aged 45 years and older (200% in this category). Videos featuring transgender and transsexual people were the fifth most viewed among users aged 45-64.
PornHub viewers never get bored. Narrative videos outside the bedroom, especially outside the home, have started to gain traction. Now viewers download them more often. The number of user-generated videos in this category has more than tripled.
Tattooed models are also increasingly in demand. Especially among millennials and young people. The popularity of the query “tattooed women” has increased by 88% compared to 2017 statistics.
The number of searches related to the dating app Tinder has also increased.
- 161% among women,
- 113% among men,
- And by 131% — among visitors from 35 to 44 years old.
This is one of the most popular searches in many countries, including the UK and Australia. There are currently over 3, 500 Tinder-related videos.
Life often tries to imitate art. And in pornography you can see anything from everyday reality. Therefore, it is not surprising that the video game “Buzetta” is in great demand. Her popularity initially exploded on the Internet, which was flooded with fan works. At the same time, the number of similar requests on Pornhub exceeded three million in just one week. As a result, the revived “Buzetta” received more than 720, 000 views.
Finally, in 2019, the three members” videos proved to be very popular. He took a respectable tenth place in the ranking. Among the female audience, such stories were in second place in popularity. In many European countries, such as France, Italy, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands, the “triple treat” is especially in demand.
Thus, the overall ranking of the top searches on Pornhub in 2018 is as follows:
- Stormy Daniels
- Fortnite characters
- Video in Ultra HD quality
- Romantic videos
- Transsexuals
- Sex outside the bedroom
- Models with tattoos

Requests for “Japanese”, “Asian”, “Korean video” and “Chinese porn” did not lose their positions. However, the once popular search for characters from the game Overwatch dropped to fourth place, replaced by the modern audience”s favorite Fortnite.
Searches for “big ass” and “big tits” also rose to fourth and sixth place, respectively. Of course, such statistics are not surprising. This may be due to the growing popularity of Stormy Daniels, who has risen from No. 671 in the rankings in 2017 to 84 million views now.

- As for England, here PornHub guests most often searched for cartoon Helen Parr (aka “Elastigirl”).
- Residents of India can be called traditionalists: not particularly trusting the exotic, throughout 2018, queries with the content “Indian” or “Hindi” were leading among them. “School” and “teacher” were also popular queries in India.
- In Japan, in 2019, the top search terms for the year were “milf,” “mature,” and “masturbates.”
- Canadians” top searches were for “big ass” and “ASMR” videos.

- In Mexico, the most popular search was “hentai” and model Lena Shtepsel.
- Spaniards most often entered queries such as “mature” and “lesbians” into the PornHub search engine. Alas, model Jordi El Niño Polla topped the list of the most unpopular among her compatriots. Apparently the problem is that she was born and raised in Spain.
- In Ukraine, the most popular request was “Anime” — the number increased by as much as 367%. The most popular porn stars here are Sasha Gray and Elsa Jean.
- South Africa, like India, was distinguished by its love for the native and familiar: the main demand here remained “blacks.” But the “white South Africans” ended up in 12th place. Interestingly, compared to other regions of the world, people here were 70% more likely to search for “squirt” and 71% more likely to search for “babysitter.”
Queries and Gender
It depends on everyone, but the fairer sex wants more and more love and sex. In 2019, the percentage of women visiting Pornhub increased to 29%. And this is 3% more than in 2017.
Dr. Laurie states that Women love to explore their sexuality. And we are gradually moving away from the idea that pornography is a purely male act. All of these things would have been unthinkable a few decades ago.” By the way, about 37% of gay pornography is viewed by girls. Compared to men, Pornhub viewers were 451% more likely to be interested in gay actor Chris Crocker.
Among the top 20 countries for Pornhub traffic, the Philippines has the highest proportion of women at 38%. It is followed by Brazil and South Africa with 35%.
They say that girls who please each other are what men like best. We discovered that this is not entirely true. “Lesbians” is the top search term among Pornhub viewers. However, the male gender most often types the query “Japanese women” in search engines. Hentai” continues to lead both women and men, moving from fourth to third place in the overall ranking.
Another popular search among both genders is Fortnite. Interest in Korean pornography increased among both sexes, with searches increasing by 188% for women and 213% for men.
Women are 281% more likely than men to watch cunnilingus videos, and men are 197% more likely to search for such videos. Dr Rowley notes: “Men are more likely to watch cunnilingus videos than women. However, increasingly, men are choosing to enjoy watching men please them. Fashionable women seem to want to see men paying attention only to themselves.
Women are also twice as likely to watch content such as “group sex” or videos in the “double penetration” category. But at the same time, statistics show that the fairer sex also loves romantic videos. According to Dr Lowry, this shows girls” love for videos with interesting storylines and starring a female character.
“Women are now much more free about sex. But many of the fairer sex still prefer to maintain the traditional female role, at least in fantasy,” says Laurie.
User Age and Queries
The average Pornhub visitor is slightly older than in 2017, but only by six months. He is currently around 35. 5 years old. The share of visitors aged 18 to 24 decreased by 3 percent, while the 25 to 34 category saw an increase of the same 3 percentage points.

In 2018, the keyword “hentai” replaced the word “lesbian”, which was previously the most popular keyword among Pornhub visitors aged 18 to 24.
However, users aged 25 to 34 are clearly not indifferent to Eastern culture. They almost always search for “Japanese” in their searches.
The number of requests for transgender videos from users aged 45-54 increased by 214%. Compared to other age groups in the same category, searches for “masturbation” broke all records. This number is 53% more than the younger audience of the portal.

And a Little About the Role of Technology

The percentage of users accessing Pornhub using the Windows Mobile operating system has become almost insignificant: it has decreased from 50% to 0. 9%. 2% more users access the site from devices with Android OS installed than from iPhones.
Browsers
Chrome leads the pack in this category. This browser accounts for 57. 3% of all visits (by the way, in 2018 its share increased by 8%). The prestigious second place is occupied by Microsoft Edge with a traffic share of 17%. It was ahead of its “big brother” Internet Explorer and behind Apple Safari.
Celebrities? They”re also being searched for here
As a rule, when a star screams from all the irons, she gains popularity at lightning speed on Pornhub. Of course, the unforgettable Stormy Daniels won porn star of the year. But experts mainly attribute the model”s fame to the dissemination of information about her on the Internet and other media. Stormy did the impossible. In 2018, she reached over 30 million searches, surpassing even Kim Kardashian with 26 million searches.
For other celebrities, see below.
- Nicki Minaj — 14. 3 million searches,
- Cardi B — 12. 7 million
- Selena Gomez — 8. 1 million,
- Ariana Grande — 7. 5 million,
- Noah Centineo — 7. 6 million

Guests of the portal did not take away attention from Meghan Markle. In 2018, viewers showed interest more than 2. 5 million times. Overall, the search term “Meghan Markle” is 2, 812% more popular than before. It”s no surprise that she”s now married to Prince Harry, the Queen”s heir apparent.
Melania Trump was searched 628, 014 times, down slightly from last year, when the first lady of the United States was searched more than a million times. However, the insidious Melania managed to overtake her husband from our resources. After all, users searched for Donald Trump videos a total of 302, 177 times. This is half of Melania.
Movies and video games: who else is in demand
Harley Quinn leads this category. This is because users searched for it more than 10 million times last year. In second place in popularity is the cartoon by Helen Parr, which was watched 7. 6 million times.
By the way, Star Wars characters are still in demand. And, of course, the championship between them still belongs to Princess Leia — 6. 4 million search queries.
As for video games, besides the aforementioned Busetta, Lara Croft is not giving up her position. Her popularity was strengthened by a new film released in 2018, in which users showed interest in her 4. 5 million times.
What events caused the most significant changes in traffic?
Schedule determines traffic—that”s the conclusion reached by Pornhub experts. If you need to schedule porn viewing and masturbation sessions, you can”t ignore other important events, right? Pornhub users are a diverse bunch, and nothing is more alien to them than people. And the biggest traffic fluctuations in 2018 were driven by important social events.
- In March 2019, the Oscars led to a 6% drop in Pornhub traffic.
- The Emmy Awards dropped by 5%.
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle”s wedding dropped by 10%.
- The live broadcast of the Italian music festival Sanremo caused an 8% drop in traffic across the entire “boot.”
- A YouTube server outage on October 16th increased Pornhub traffic by 21% in just two hours.
As you can imagine, the biggest downside was the FIFA World Cup. In the countries where the matches were held, user traffic dropped dramatically. Champions France (-55%) and Croatia (-66%) saw incredible drops in traffic.
During the Olympic Games in South Korea, global traffic fell by 6%.
Canadians considered themselves the greatest hockey players in the world. But Pornhub”s statistics tell a different story. During the World Hockey Championship final, user traffic from Russia fell by 13%, and from Germany by 9%.
Holidays
Now let”s look at how public holidays and anniversaries affected Pornhub. It”s not hard to guess that the most important dates in this regard are ahead of the curve.
- 17% of users in Canada on Canada Day;
- 12% on the same holiday in Australia;
- 9% of French users avoided Pornhub on Bastille Day.
Canadian users were also affected by a special holiday. On the day cannabis was legalized, traffic dropped by 15%. The March 8th celebrations had a positive impact on female visitors. Pornhub”s audience was above average on that day. Fluctuations also occurred between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Apparently, women really wanted to embrace the romantic mood on International Women”s Day!
Valentine”s Day saw a 7% increase in traffic. Frankly, we expected more on that day. But thanks for that, my loves.
And, of course, New Year”s Eve celebrations brought a significant drop in traffic across all countries. — 44% from 6:00 PM to midnight. Sweden was completely immersed in the holiday rush. Here, Pornhub”s audience dropped the most globally, by 69%. Belgium was next, with a-67% drop.
We hope the coming year will be a successful one for Pornhub, bringing joy and variety to the sex lives of people around the world. We advocate for world peace. Therefore, we would be delighted if our audience grew even wider in all corners of the globe. After all, watching sexy videos is much more enjoyable than war and international strife!
