It seems that adult content has something for everyone, based on the latest top-searched categories.
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time for the annual year-in-review. It’s been a long year, filled with world events and headlines, but one thing remains unchanged: the steady search for X-rated content online.
While many are eagerly waiting to see which artists top their Spotify Wrapped, the world’s largest adult site has revealed the most-searched categories of the year.
So, what’s the top result for those looking to unwind?
P0rnhub has unveiled its list of the most popular categories for 2024, highlighting the top trends in adult content searches this year.
Once again, taking the top spot for the fourth year in a row is ‘hentai,’ maintaining its dominance. Related categories like ‘animation’ and ‘3D’ also saw significant increases, with a +28 percent and +19 percent rise, respectively.
The ‘realistic animated’ category experienced an impressive jump of +78 percent.
In second place, ‘MILF’ made a successful return, reclaiming its spot from ‘Lesbian,’ which dropped to fourth place, now behind ‘pinay.’ ‘Anal’ secured the fifth spot, closely followed by ‘big ass.’
Noticing a trend yet?
Anime claimed seventh place, reflecting a growing interest alongside ‘hentai’ and other animated adult material. There were a few surprises as well, with ‘cosplay’ content seeing a noticeable rise and ‘real amateur’ searches also gaining popularity.
This creates an interesting contrast between a desire for authentic, real-life content and the allure of fantasy characters.
The term ‘wife’ also saw a surge, with a +12 percent increase, which P0rnhub attributes to the growing trend of ‘P0rnhub Wives.’ Additionally, searches for ‘ethical p0rn’ jumped by +92 percent, while ‘respectful sex’ grew by +61 percent, signaling a shift toward more conscious and considerate content.
When it comes to the top stars, Angela White claimed the number one spot as the most-searched p0rnstar of 2024, followed by Abella Danger in second and Violet Myers in third.
P0rnhub also revealed some insights about its user base. The average age of a P0rnhub user is 38 years old, with the 18-24 age group making up the largest portion of traffic, accounting for 27%. Following closely behind is the 25-34 group, which represents 24% of all traffic.
Together, the 18-35 age range makes up more than half of P0rnhub’s visitors, despite a slight decrease of -2 percentage points in 2024 to the over-35 crowd.
The site also highlighted differences in the types of content searched based on age group. Users aged 18-24 tend to favor ‘vertical video,’ ‘hentai,’ and ‘gaming.’ Those in the 25-34 range are more likely to search for ‘FMM,’ ‘Tattooed women,’ and ‘Parody.’ Gen X (35-53) are focused on ‘compilations,’ ‘role play,’ and ‘feet,’ while Boomers (55+) are particularly interested in ‘strap ons,’ ‘gangbangs,’ and ‘double penetration.’
