Journal du Geek asked Pornhub’s statisticians to analyze the various technologies that visitors from France use when accessing Pornhub. When it comes to mobility, French users lag behind the world with only 61% of visitors using smartphones, compared to an average of 70% worldwide. Mobile use is however growing steadily in France as we found the average smartphone usage in our 2017 Year in Review was only 56%.

33% of French women still prefer to double-click their own mouse on desktops, compared to only 25% of men. Our statisticians also found that mobile usage was highest among French visitors in the 25 to 34 age group. 18 to 24 year olds were just as likely to be using desktop computers as visitors aged 35 to 44. Visitors over the age of 65 are 110% more likely to be using desktop computers when compared to all other age groups.

Chrome is by far the most popular web browser among France’s desktop users, but it’s actually 6% less popular when compared to the world, while Firefox is 31% more popular in France. On mobile devices, Chrome browser is 12% more popular in France, and the default Samsung branded browser is 34% more popular in France than the world.

Windows represents 79% of desktop operating system usage in France, just slightly higher than the worldwide average. It would seem that French users are less into cloud computing, as Google’s Chrome OS is nearly 80% LESS popular in France when compared to elsewhere in the world. On mobile devices, Android and iOS usage is similar, but visitors from France are much more likely to be using Windows (+84%) and Blackberry (+59%) compared to visitors elsewhere.

When it comes to game consoles in France, Playstation is still the reigning champ with 71% of console visits much like the rest of the world. Xbox is -28% less popular in France, while handheld consoles like the Playstation Vita and Nintendo’s WiiU are much more popular than they are elsewhere in the world.

Few rivalries are as strong as those between Apple and Android users. So it’s often fun to see how their porn habits differ. In France, “French”, “Anal”, “Lesbian” and “Ebony” are the most popular video categories on both devices. Android users then prefer “Hentai” whereas Apple users prefer “Big Tits”.

Android users in France are 81% more likely to view the “Indian” category, 53% more into “Cosplay” and 52% more into Cartoon. Apple users are 33% more likely to view the “Popular with Women” category, 19% more into “Ass” and 14% more into “Hardcore”.

It seems like just the other day that Prince Harry announced his engagement and Pornhub Insights revealed that Searches for Meghan Markle shot up by 2208%. In fact that was only last November, and their romance culminated with a fairy tale wedding at Westminster Abbey on May 19th.

Metro UK asked if the ceremony’s live coverage had an effect on Pornhub’s traffic and searches. Our statisticians soon discovered that as the ceremony began, worldwide traffic plummeted by a massive 10%, lead by a 21% drop in the United Kingdom and 6% in the United States.

Across the United Kingdom, traffic during the ceremony was down -21% in England, -19% in Wales, -15% in Scotland and -14% in Northern Ireland. Traffic remained below average throughout the rest of the day, with a further drop of -17% in England around 5pm.

We were surprised to see that France was the country with the biggest traffic drop of -23% during the ceremony. Traffic in Chile was down -20%, -19% in Italy and -18% in New Zealand, The Netherlands and Turkey. Commonweath countries Australia and Canada were down -17% and -16% respectively.

Once again it was Meghan Markle that most captured everyone’s attention, as Pornhub searches for her name increased steadily in the days before and after the wedding, reaching as high as +2812% on May 21st. Only about 75% of searchers manage to spell Meghan’s name correctly. The next most searched variation is “Megan Markle”, followed by “Megan Markel”.

We also saw a large number of searches for “Prince Harry”, but because he had few daily searches prior to the wedding it was difficult to calculate a percentage increase. So instead our statisticians compared all searches containing the words “prince” or “princess” to see who was most driving people’s fairy tale fantasies.

“Princess” is more popular daily search, so the 187% increase surrounding the wedding means more in terms of raw searches, but the 403% increase in “prince” popularity is quite impressive as well.

All searches containing the term “royal” grew by an impressive 1865% in the days following the ceremony.

Many celebrities attending the wedding also caused increased interest from fans searching Pornhub. Meghan’s fellow Suits co-star “Abigail Spencer” saw searches increase by +178%, “Kate Middleton” was up 988%, “Serena Williams” +108%, “Victoria Beckham” 4213% followed closely by “David Beckham” up 3440%. There were many searches for “Priyanka Chopra”, but because we lacked searches prior to the wedding we couldn’t calculate a percent increase value.

We hope you enjoyed this edition of Pornhub Insights, and our best wishes to the newlywed couple!

Whether they favor the light side or the dark side, the force is strong with Pornhub users. Trusted Reviews asked the Insights team whether “Star Wars Day” affects viewership and searches. While our statisticians can’t see what side of the force our visitors favor, they do have a plethora of Star Wars related data on hand — in particular when May the 4th comes around. On that most geeky of all holidays, Star Wars related searches grow by an empire sized 10430% as visitors enjoy some Hand Solo action.

In particular, searches for “lightsaber” gain an impressive 766%, “star wars sex” 663% and “ashoka tano” 598%. Those are based on results from May the 4th, 2017.

The following chart shows the popularity of Star Wars related searches so far in 2018. “Princess Leia” still comes out on top, followed by “Star Wars Parody” and “Star Wars XXX”. After Leia, the most searched characters are “Rey”, “Oahsoka Tano”, “Twilek”, “Padme Amidala”, “Sabine”, “Aayla Secura”, “Jyn Erso” and “Kylo Ren”.

May the 4th isn’t the only time of the year that Star Wars searches see massive gains. When each of the last 3 movies were released, Pornhub saw a surge in Star Wars related searches. The following chart illustrates the 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the release of The Force Awakens, Rogue One and The Last Jedi. The much anticipated reboot the series, 2015’s Force Awakens, saw the biggest increase of 198% on the day the movie was released. With each subsequent release, the search gain was less noticeable.

Our statisticians found that men are 59% more likely to search for Star Wars porn compared to women. Mobile users of Apple iOS devices are 10% more likely to search Star Wars compared to Android users. On desktop computers, it’s users of Windows based operating systems that are proportionately 28% more likely to search Star Wars compared to Apple Mac OS users. Visitors between the ages of 18 to 24 are 68% more likely to search for Star Wars compared to all other age groups. Even though Star Wars has been around for over 40 years, interest decreases by age with visitors over the age of 65 being -57% less likely to search compared to all other age groups.

Since first appearing on the VH1 Reality Show “Love & Hip Hop: New York” in 2015, rapper Cardi B’s fame and media presence has grown dramatically. For a special report with our friends at Mashable, we first found daily searches for Cardi B starting in early 2016, but her popularity on Pornhub did not escalate until 2017. In August, her song “Bodak Yellow” entered the Billboard charts, causing her searches to increase. Searches rose again in the fall of 2017 when Offset proposed to her live on stage, and “Bodak Yellow” was nominated for two Grammys.

A massive 1007% increase in Cardi B searches happened in late December when she and Offset pretended to have sex (fully clothed) on Instagram Live. In the following days, “Cardi B Sex Tape” became a trending search on Pornhub. Since that event, her searches have remained high throughout 2018 with spikes happening in February after her “Finesse” song with Bruno Mars was released, and most recently in April when she announced her pregnancy on Saturday Night Live.

The most popular Cardi B searches are “Cardi B Sex Tape”, followed by “Cardi B stripper”, “Cardi B Sex”, Cardi B twerking” and “Cardi B look alike”.

News cycles surrounding celebrity news often cause search increases on Pornhub. For other examples, please see our Insights on Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and Aubrey O’Day.

Pop culture events like new movies and video games can often affect the type of porn that people search for. Super heroes in particular are as sexy as they are exciting, so it’s only natural that fans will want to fantasize about their favorite characters in sexual scenarios. As Super hero movies have grown in popularity over the last decade, so have high-budget porn parodies.

The recent release of the Avengers: Infinity War caused searches to increase 356% above their daily average. As we discovered in our 2017 Year in Review, “Avengers” was already a top ranking movie related search. We teamed up with CinemaBlend to see how the recent film release affected searches on the site.

Historically, DC characters like Harley Quin, Wonder Woman and Batman are searched more often on Pornhub than Marvel characters, but “Avengers” and it’s characters were searched over 6 million times in 2017.

The most searched Avengers character in 2018 is Black Widow, followed by Spiderman, Captain America and Hulk. Some characters are proportionately more popular with women, including Captain America, Black Panther, Thor and Loki.

Our statisticians found that women are 28% more likely to search for Avengers when compared to men, and millennials under the age of 35 are far more likely to search when compared to older age groups.

In previous Insights studies we found that super hero searches tend to increase at Halloween.

At 2pm ET on April 11th, servers for the popular online shooter Fortnite went down, and remained offline until 2pm the following day. The team at PCGamesN asked if this downtime might have affected searches and traffic to Pornhub.

Pornhub’s statisticians found that searches for “Fortnite” increased by as much as 60% during the 24 hour period, as hardcore players headed to Pornhub for their Fortnite fix. Shortly after access to the server resumed, searches for “Fortnite” returned to normal levels.

Using “affinity” data provided by Google Analytics, our statisticians were able to view traffic changes from visitors who are interested in video games. We found that traffic from “gaming fans” increased shortly after the server outage began, and remained higher than normal over the entire 24 hour period. Gamer traffic was 9.8% above average just 3 hours before server access resumed, after which traffic dropped below normal levels.

Winter storm Emma blasted Ireland with snow, causing much of the country to be shut down from March 1st to 3rd, 2018. Those who didn’t lose power (or were willing to give up precious battery life), found warmth in Pornhub, where traffic saw major increases compared to an normal period.

Some of the biggest changes were seen from 2am to 3am, which is similar to the traffic change on many holidays, when people stay up later knowing they don’t have to go to work the next day. On March 2nd, traffic at 3am was 68% higher than the same hour on an average Friday.

For much the same reason, traffic was below average those three days from 6am to 7am — a popular time for people to visit Pornhub before they get ready for work, and higher again from 9am to noon hour with Ireland’s citizens being hard at home rather than hard at work. March 1st also saw a large increase of 59% above average at 3pm.

Compare these results to Ireland’s traffic during Hurricane Ophelia in October 2017 and the hourly similarities are striking. In the United States, 2017’s Winter Storm Stella and 2015’s Winter Storm Juno showed much the same results.

Pornhub Insights last took a detailed look at searches for Overwatch shortly after the game’s release in May of 2016. Since then, Overwatch has remained one of the most popular game searches on Pornhub. In our 2017 Year in Review, Overwatch was the 13th most popular search of the year, and even reached as high as number one in Brazil and number 2 in Russia. The Year in Review also featured Pornhub’s most searched game characters of 2017, with D.Va, Mercy and Tracer taking the top 3 positions.

In March of 2018, the latest Overwatch update added hero #27, Brigitte. Rolling Stone’s Glixel checked in to see if this new character had any effect on searches. Our statisticians found that within just a few days, Pornhub searches containing “Brigitte” increased by 6264%, exceeding 2 million searches in just 10 days!

The excitement over the new game update also caused a big increase of 225% in all searches containing “overwatch”.

With all this attention around Brigette, our statisticians looked at how searches for all Overwatch characters were affected. The 23 year old Swedish hero now massively outranks the next most popular character D.Va. Searches for Tracer and Windowmaker have both increased in 2018, with Mercy dropping from 2nd place (in 2017) to 5th.

Our statisticians also found that certain characters were more popular in different parts of the world. Brigitte is searched more often by visitors from the United States and Canada than any other countries. Her home country of Sweden ranks 5th. D.Va is Korean, so it seems fitting that South Korea is the number one country searching for her character. Tracer is most popular in Russia, but she is also popular in Mexico and South America. Widowmaker, from France is more popular in European countries like Finland and Norway. Mei is from China, which is also the country most likely to search for her character.

In today’s edition of Pornhub Insights, we’ll be taking a look at a fetish that’s been making some serious gains, as a part of a special report from our friends at UNILAD. Feederism is a sexual fetish which involves one partner (the feeder) feeding the other (the feedee) for sexual arousal. While the feeder is usually attracted to partners with a large body type, the fetish is considered to be more of a slave and master (BDSM) off-shoot.

As of March 2018, Feederism searches are 600% more popular than they were in July of 2014 (based on their proportion of all searches).

The most common feederism search is “belly stuffing” followed by “feedee”. The top searches are often combined with terms like “BBW” (Big Beautiful Woman), “SSBBW” (Super Sized Big Beautiful Woman), “belly”, “stuffing” and “gainer”.

On their way to discovering feederism, people will often try other search terms to narrow down the type of video they are looking for. Our statisticians compiled a list of the searches that most often precede the more common feeder/gainer/stuffing related searches. Topping the list of preceding searches is “weight gain”, followed by “belly inflation”. Other common terms include “chubby”, “fatter”, “bloat”, “burp” and “bulge”.

Men are 45% more likely to search for feederism when compared to women, and visitors in the 18 to 24 age group are 63% more likely to search when compared to all other age groups. As the age visitors increase, interest in feederism drops off, with those over the age of 55 being 50% less likely to search.

Our statisticians also discovered that visitors to the Pornhub Gay section are proportionately 30% more likely to search for feederism related content than straight visitors. The most common gay search is “gainer”, and other combined searches include “BHM” (Big Handsome Man) and “bear”.

In the United States, feederism is most popular in North Eastern states including Vermont (#1), Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine. The states least interested in searching are Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, North Dakota and Arizona.

Worldwide, the country that is proportionately the most likely to search for feederism is Russia, followed by Finland, Austria, Czech Republic and Puerto Rico. The United States ranks 11th, just one spot behind it’s northerly neighbor Canada.

What’s up on Insights today? Wedgies! Our statisticians have been digging deep to pull out all the wedgie data they can find as a part of a special partnership with our friends over at Metro UK. While wedgies are generally considered a not-so-pleasant experience in everyday life, it’s actually a fetish that brings pleasure to a lot of Pornhub visitors.

As the following chart illustrates, wedgies gained some serious pull throughout 2016. After reached their highest point in March of 2017, wedgies have since eased back a bit.

The most popular wedgie related search is “girl wedgie”, followed by “wedgie fetish” and “hanging wedgie”. Searches for “atomic wedgie” are also popular, but don’t quite make it over the top. Many popular wedgie searches are similar to other BDSM terms like “punishment”, “bondage”, “domination” and “spanking”.

Before searching for wedgies, the same Pornhub visitors are most likely to search for “spanking” and “thong”.

Men are 17% more likely to seek out wedgies compared to women, and Pornhub visitors between the ages of 18 to 24 are 208% more likely to search compared to all other age groups. Our data shows that wedgies have less reach as Pornhub visitors age.

Across the U.S., it’s the state of Mississippi that’s most in need of wedgies, where searches are proportionately more popular than elsewhere in the country. Conversely, wedgies are least popular in the state of Hawaii.

Of all the countries in the world, it seems that Americans are the most in need of wedgies. They’re also popular in Slovenia, South Africa, Canada and Croatia.

Have our statisticians let any other fetishes slip through the cracks? Let us know in the comments below!
