Unwrapping the Year, Pornhub Reveals Top Talent, Search Terms

Among other results of the site's analytics were the upward trend of search terms like "cure femboy," "furry," and "straight guys first time," the Star Observer detailed, while Mashable pointed to how social media-driven buzzwords like "demure" and "tradwife" made an impact in search term popularity on the site.

"Interest in Mormon content specifically had a big increase this year," Mashable added. "'Mormon sex' searches grew 92 percent, 'Mormon wife' 71 percent, and 'Mormon threesome' 122 percent."

That wasn't the only example of trends in the wider culture seeping into Pornhub's metrics. "The 2024 Paris Olympics inspired searches like 'sex olympics,' 'nude olympics,' and simply 'athlete,'" Mashable detailed. "Plus, France had the #2 spot in Pornhub traffic this year – maybe from all the visitors?"

Other top search terms included "anime," "pinoy," "hentai," "asian," and "massage," reports said.

Because of the results of the recent presidential election, there's some trepidation in the adult entertainment industry as to whether porn will remain a legal form of free speech in the United States after inauguration day, Mashable observed. A conservative blueprint for a radical reshaping of the government – and society – known as Project 2025 recommends banning porn and labeling anyone who makes it available a "sex offender." (By "porn," that document seemingly includes trans people talking about their lives and identities. It remains to be seen whether a full-scale Russia-like ban on "gay propaganda," a.k.a. public acknowledgement of gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals and their committed relationships, would also result.)
