Pornhub’s 2021 Year In Review: The Searches that Defined the year with Aria
Title: “Porning Over Pornhub’s 2021 Year In Review with Aria”
It’s that time of year again, folks. Time to take a saucy stroll down memory lane and peek behind the bushes at what got Pornhub’s users stroking their metaphorical (and literal) keypads the most in 2021. And who better to guide us through this naughty nutritional data dump than the delectable Ms. Aria?
Our shapely statistician starts off by shedding some light on the biggest trends that got us all fired up last year. Turns out, during those dark, pandemic-struck nights, we found solace in naughty nurses (searches up +885%), dirty dehydrators (a newFavorite, +1162%), and lonely lesbians (searches up +55%) helping each other cope. As Aria puts it, “When life gives you lemons, make some very *juicy* lemonade.”
Next, Aria takes us on a global gallivant of our horny hotspots. Unsurprisingly, Spain was at the top of the charts for the most hours spent watching some kinky content (with an average of 11.41 minutes per visit). Germans, on the other hand, clocked in the fewest (3.47 minutes per visit). Aria suggests, “Maybe they’re just saving time for more, ah, *physical* activities.” eyebrow waggle.
Now, let’s talk tech. Mobile viewing dominated in 2021, with some 85% of Pornhub’s traffic coming from our trusty smartphones. As Aria notes, “It’s the ultimate masturbation aid, right there in our pants at all times. The modern man’s Swiss Army knife.” As for platforms, iOS leads the pack for mobile, while Android rules the desktop realm.
Aria then segues into the big guns: Pornhub’s top 10 search terms for 2021. Coming in at number one is… surprise, surprise… ‘Brazilian’. Aria dryly quips, “Clearly, folks have a *sweet tooth* for those exotic delights.” Other standouts include ‘ Tats’, ‘MILF’, ‘Hentai’, and an oddly specific ‘Stepfather’. Aria remarks, “Interesting. Clearly, our Daddy issues run deep.”
Now, a bit about ethnicity. Aria serves up some fascinating tidbits, like how “Asian” was the top search worldwide, and “Black” was the most popular in the USA. In the UK, “Hentai” reigns supreme. As for gender, the ratio is roughly 70/30 male to female (though Aria points out, “With ‘lesbian’ topping women’s searches, clearly, our dear sisters are hiding a secret desire for some girl-on-girl action.”).
Sadly, Aria all but ignores the hard data on adult categories this time around. Still, she does drop some juicy morsels: gay content saw a significant boost last year, as did ‘cosplay’ and ‘gangbang’. Oddly, ‘BDSM’ took a dip (+5% overall), leading Aria to wonder if we’re all just “too tired from work to bother with all the ropes and chains” in our post-pandemic sex lives.
Finally, some honorable mentions. “Coronavirus” was disturbingly big last year, apparently swelling 900% between January and April 2020. And pizza boy? Surprisingly popular, with over 18 million hits. Aria concludes, “Clearly, we’re all desperate for a piping hot slice and a teeny weenie to-boot.”
And there you have it, folks! A rollercoaster ride through the wilder ups and downs of Pornhub’s contributor’s sex lives in 2021. Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide. Why did Aria host this decade ideology? The ratings. Why did you watch this raunchy rant? Well… because it’s definitely *not* because your wife caught you refreshing Pornhub, like, 84 times a day. Uh-huh. Sure.
