According to a new report from adult content website Pornhub, the term “femboy” was the most searched term during Pride Month this year.
The term, which refers to individuals who identify as wholly or partially male and who adopt traditionally feminine characteristics in their gender expression, continues to significantly outpace other terms, including “handsome”, which is the second most searched term.
The next eight most popular search terms were “anime,” “first-time straight man,” “Pinoy,” “fur,” “big cock,” “animation,” “Asian,” and “straight.”
Looking at the categories that organize videos on Pornhub without users having to enter search terms, “Twink” is the most viewed around the world, topping the list in most regions: Europe, South America, Canada, Central America, North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.
“Black” was the most popular Pornhub category in the United States and much of sub-Saharan Africa, while “big cock” topped the list in Greenland, Venezuela, the Philippines, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and several African countries.
“Manga” was the most viewed category in Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan and Malaysia. ‘Bareback’ was the most popular category in the UK, Greece and Bulgaria. In Japan, “Japanese” was the top category, but in Laos, “Asian” was the most viewed category.
Government censors in countries such as India and China have blocked Pornhub, while Australia, France and Sweden have blocked access to the website in protest of overly intrusive age verification laws and laws that criminalize the purchase of sexual content online. Although the UK also has age verification requirements, Pornhub included statistics on age-verified users in its report.
Looking at the demographics of Pornhub’s gay porn viewers, the ratio of male and female viewers is roughly even, with 50.3% men and 49.7% women. This trend has continued for three years, with the proportion of women watching gay porn increasing, from 43% of all viewers to almost half.
The largest percentage of gay porn viewers on Pornhub are people between the ages of 18 and 24, accounting for 31% of the total. This was followed by people aged 25 to 34 (20%), 35 to 44 (15%), 45 to 54 (13%), 55 to 64 (12%), and 65 and older (9%).
However, while people over 65 make up a smaller portion of the audience, they are 26.3% more likely to watch gay porn than other age groups. Viewers between the ages of 55 and 64 are 15.6% more likely to watch gay porn, while viewers between the ages of 18 and 24 are 9.5% more likely to watch gay porn.
Meanwhile, those aged 35 to 44 are least likely to watch gay porn, 15.8% less likely than other age groups. 25-34 year olds are 10.3% less likely to watch gay porn, and 45-54 year olds are 7.2% less likely.
These statistics represent a significant change from last year, with people between the ages of 18 and 24 more likely to watch gay porn, and those between the ages of 45 and 54 less likely.
Tyler Wu is Pornhub’s most-watched gay performer this year, replacing Malik Delgaty, who fell to fourth place. Ethan Restray was second, followed by Legrand Wolff in third. Falcon Al, known for his bisexual content, ranked fifth. The rest of the top 10 includes Ryheim Shabazz, Leon and Mike, Zilv Gudel and Kai, JUICEAIME, and namao2351.
By state, “black people” topped the gay category in Nevada, Louisiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. “Big Dick” was most viewed in Hawaii, Delaware, Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire. “Bareback” topped the list in California, Oregon and Washington, while “handsome” topped the list in Massachusetts, Alaska, Iowa and Wisconsin. “Straight Guy” was the most-watched show in Maine and Minnesota.
Compared to the national average, Coloradans were more likely to watch the gay category “bareback,” while Ohioans preferred “bear” and Alaskans were more likely to watch “chubby.” People in Louisiana were more likely to see the category as “solo men,” Wisconsin as “college students,” Iowa as “men with tattoos,” and Michigan as “creampies.”
The “biracial” category was more popular in the District of Columbia, “Asian” in California, “Japanese” in Hawaii, “Latino” in Nevada, and “Black” in Maryland.
The District of Columbia was also 35% more likely to view gay porn than other jurisdictions, followed by Rhode Island at 31% and Maryland at 27%. Louisiana was least likely to watch gay porn at 16% below the national average, followed by Alaska (14%) and Iowa (12%).
