Pornhub drops some shocking gay adult content data just for Pride Month 2024

Article has a link to the actual report. Surprisingly California is below average in consumption while South Carolina is furiously trying to make up for it and then some.

That’s because they’re having steamy hot gay sex in California, and people in South Carolina are repressing it.

"has a link"

doesn't link to it for others to bypass the awful website

Nevada being into “black bussy solo” fucking sent me

Why do a lot of the states not have any stats?

Legal bs which put the burden of verifying age on the website (afaik) and ph was like "nope, that's a massive trap I'm not touching"

I let my ex in one of those states share my VPN for this purpose. It's absolute bullshit and the bastards who passed it into law know it.

The numbers of conservative white boys living in denial is so high that pretty soon they're gonna start getting eaten by friggin crocodiles.

Say what you want about pornhub and how they're bad (and you'd likely be right), but I have to say, their public statistics are always super interesting (and well presented as well)

they can do statistics but they absolutely can't implement a working search function.

Can't or won't

Won't. Like Google, it's gotten noticeably worse in recent years. If it doesn't fit in one of the broad categories, PornHub doesn't know what to do with it anymore.

Iirc in the Netflix documentary: that was a marketing gimmick to appear playful and improve their image since ph is the public face of mind geek.

Christian Republicans...

Is it Christian republicans?

All signs point to yes.

Worldwide, bareback content is the most popular genre of gay porn watched in the United States.

Maybe that’s why I can’t get anyone to wear a condom.

Worldwide

United States

Give 'em a break, they wrote the article one-handed.

lol. They fired all the editors.

I saw the map from my elementary schools classes. We all know that all other countries aren't real and people who claim to be from one are merely delusional.

i thought the illuminati deep state(which as my local pastor said, includes furries) knew about the truths they keep from the average Joes(including the existance of other countries).

::: spoiler if not obvious /j :::

As a disabled gay satanist fur:

hobbles into the church, silence falling upon even the furthest witness, as suddenly the entire place goes up in flames "You dare question my vast knowledge, mere mortals?!"

Everyone: screaming in terror

"My work here is done. Do not question me again." 😎 hobbles out after dropping a map of only the continental US

maybe the world is waiting for you to invent the condom that feels better than not having one on. or maybe it looks like a rainbow disco-ball or something.

if a person doesn’t care about my health, I don’t wanna fuck them anyway. I don’t want their diseases.

I'm surprised people don't care about their own health

Looks at all the obese people in the world

Yeah I won't wear condoms. I can't feel shit with one on and would rather go without sex over using one.

Might I suggest that it is actually the typical standard condoms available out there that are the problem and not the concept of a condom itself? I have had similar experiences to you, but I decided to try getting a custom fit condom from ONE Condoms. Turns out the standard sizes were just too small and getting an appropriately sized condom improved the experience of using one significantly. I know this is sounding like an ad for ONE Condoms, but maybe it will get some folks to reconsider using protection.

Try skyn or another non latex condom, so much better

Just put a drop of lube on the inside before rolling it on.

That sounds like a great way for it to pop off on its own.

That sounds like a you problem. I say, in a sassy joking tone. But really, premature ejaculation can be a problem. However, it’s one you can work on with your sexual partner. Try pulling the nuts. It could help prolong.

… that said, most of my fucking is done by random dudes I pick up and I dunno where those motherfuckers have been. So, there is a 0% chance I’ll accept any excuse not to bag it.

The 18-24 age group shows a strong interest in the Cartoon category, with a massive 304% higher likelihood compared to other age groups.

Well, I guess that explains why my teenage daughter the other day was talking about how cute some anime girl was (and she didn't mean Pikachu cute).

I'm ngl I don't know a single person who watches anime that isn't also worrying levels of obsessed with hentai.

And that includes me.

The anime fandom is extraordinarily sexual. It makes sense when you see that in general, anime is one of the most casually extremely objectifying/sexualizing/tokenizing things you can find... specifically towards women and queer people. Even yuri (lesbian) animes tend to be shounen (aimed at young men) and often are very fetishistic, and anything that resembles queerness is usually used in shounen animes specifically as fan service to their male audience.

There are MANY animes that I guarantee you only exist for the purpose of porn (more specifically, designed to get popular from people making & spreading porn of them). Rampant and unavoidable horny fan service is a plague

Don't forget about the Fujoshi (female fans of yaoi aka boy x boy).

Anime people just be horny af in general.

I don't know that she's especially into hentai, but she's way into some anime character that's used to promote music on YouTube or something? I don't really get it.

Hatsune Miku? May not be the same thing your kiddo is in to, but boy is my very gay nephew obsessed. It is entirely adorable. I even added "CV01" to the ssid of the WiFi because I am the cool aunt.

Yes, that's who it is!

If it helps give context, Miku is more of a mascot for a text-to-voice project/software that can be used to program singing using her voice or other voices too. I think all the voices have mascots that they call vocaloids.

The videos are probably promoting songs where her voice is used.

I think she tried explaining that to me, but (sorry fans) when someone starts talking about Anime stuff, my eyes start to glaze over.

Ok, maybe try the older cyberpunk angle? It's a real life Idoru from the William Gibson novel.

It's fine, I'm a dad. I'm not supposed to understand what my teenager is into.

Tbf, she is pretty cute.

Whatever does it for you, I guess. Her proportions are not exactly what I would find attractive if I saw her walking down the street.

That's true. I guess you have to kind of consider it in the context of the style? Anime leaves out a lot of detail in the face, and changes proportions around, so you have to have that cipher in your head that accounts for that, maybe?

That's how it starts...

thousand yard stare intensifies

I'm not going to kink shame my daughter. If she's into anime girls, that's fine. I just hope she doesn't expect to meet one in real life.

We humanize things that have traits we attach to. After all, many of us understand a dog is an animal and yet they are also often a part of our family in very human-like ways, including how we talk to them in complete sentences, and may even include them in conversation. So then it becomes less about physical attraction, which is certainly there for a lot of people and anime characters, it then becomes about an emotional bond. Absolutely none of this is a problem until it crosses that invisible threshold where that bond becomes more affection and eventually longing.

Thankfully, most people stop at the bonding part where they enjoy a creator or a character and understand that is all it is: A Creation fundamentally distant from them.

Sorry, I meant I didn't really get the "anime character that promotes music on YouTube" part.

As I said to someone else, I'm not going to kink shame her, I just want her to know that any girl she meets in the real world will not be like that anime character. And I think she understands that.

Honestly, getting her to meet people in the real world at all is a slog.

Oh no I didn't mean any sort of shaming. Only that this digital world creates new stressors and puzzles for both parent and child. A kid just hitting 15 has essentially grown up in a world where digital and anime characters influenced them. Many kids may attach some emotional prerequisite to those characters and unintentionally judge others based on that perspective. Moreover, hanging out in person after The Lost Years (Covid) is almost secondary to the ease of things like Snapchat and other obligations such as school bring.

I don't envy any parent trying to work through this.

I guess, but I know a lot of kids in the 80s who considered this character a big part of their sexual awakening...

(I think it was the leg warmers)

Also, this character for slightly younger kids:

(Damn, just doing an image search for her brings up some weird shit.)

Well you don't know me so that still applies, but I like anime though I'm picky about it and don't like hentai. Actually one of my nitpicks is "I don't like anime that is too horny, usually." I do like Golden Boy but that's different lol, same for FLCL. I can also do the occasional horn, like Dragon Ball/DBZ, or like Faye Valentine in Bebop, but those harem animes or ones that rely solely on fan service just aren't for me.

The word "data" was on the second line of the headline, and I missed it on the first pass. I was like "Why is that shocking?"

Here I was hoping they got 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂

You won't believe which demographic is way more into gay spicy content than you'd expect.

The gays?

The article mentions that 43% of gay porn is watched by women.

I think it was talking about the 65+ group, I was just making a joke

But I find it to be misleading because there are a lot more people 65+ than there are in 18-24 for example

What the fuck does this bullet point mean? I feel like I’m having a stroke.

• Worldwide, bareback content is the most popular genre of gay porn watched in the United States.

Maybe it means that the US watches more bareback content than any other country? IDK. TBH, I'm not sure what horseback riding has to do with anything here.

Oooohhhh, okay. I think I can get that. Still, such an odd way to word it. And it doesn’t even make sense, equine sports are NOT popular in the US. Where the hell did they get their data?

Okay but how is this age data collected?

Wow… I didn’t even think about that
