Do We Love Porn? All Pornhub insights and facts!

According to Pornhub, the past few years have been tough and challenging for all of us: lots of stress, conflict, worries and a gloomy outlook on the future. The best distraction when you don’t want to think about anything or worry about life is porn. And Pornhub has been perfectly catering to that for years by offering everything we need in times like these. The best and most diverse videos with top actors and porn stars make sure we can all be entertained with porn on Pornhub. Especially with the new virtual reality technology, you can escape for a while into another, more relaxed world.
The Pornhub facts show that in recent years we have been uploading more porn than ever and, statistically, we have never watched this much porn worldwide.

Pornhub.com statistics

Over an entire year Pornhub had an average of 81 million visitors per day, which adds up to more than 28 billion visits annually. And there were no fewer than 24.7 billion searches carried out, which comes down to 50,000 searches per minute. Worldwide, more than four million videos were uploaded, totalling 595,492 hours of porn. That equals 68 years of non-stop porn watching by a single person.
Every five minutes Pornhub transfers more data than the full contents of, for example, 50 million books.
Popular search terms according to Pornhub are "Porn for Women", "Rick and Morty" and "Fidget Spinners." You could conclude from this that women are increasingly coming out and expressing their desires.

 
The search terms seem to show that we are constantly looking for distraction and want to escape harsh reality for a moment. Watching high-quality porn appears to be the solution.
Speaking of high-end porn, searches for "virtual reality porn" kept growing in 2017, with sharp increases over the past few years. However, the top search term remains "lesbian", which makes sense given that this is a common fantasy for many men, and it’s also a favorite among female viewers.

Pornhub facts by country

For the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Argentina, Russia, South Africa and Belgium, the following facts are known, although there is not enough space here to share all individual statistics.
What stands out is that viewers in the Philippines spend the most time on porn on average, with a mean of 13 minutes and 28 seconds on Pornhub. The global average visit was nine minutes and 59 seconds. In the USA, the average viewing time was 10 minutes and 33 seconds.
When major sporting events take place, the number of porn viewers drops. For example, during the Super Bowl, traffic fell by as much as 24%. And on Champions League nights there was a double-digit drop in at least five countries. The busiest day on Pornhub is Sunday, specifically between 23:00 and 01:00.

How do people watch porn?

Although mobile doesn’t offer the very best picture quality, as many as two-thirds of people watch porn on this device. Combined with tablets, more than 75% of all traffic is viewed on a portable device. That’s quite logical given the screen size of, for example, Samsung and Apple phones, which causes desktop’s share to drop sharply. People prefer to watch on their phone during lunch break rather than at home behind a big screen.
Porn is also watched on gaming devices. On a 3DS, for example, you have easy access to porn. PlayStation dominates with more than half of all gaming traffic. Check this list to find all (VR) porn sites worldwide.

In summary

In recent years as well, an enormous amount of porn has been watched and uploaded on Pornhub. Visitors and viewers come from all over the world and include all genders and age groups.
