On March 13th, 2019 popular social media sites Facebook and Instagram experienced their biggest service outage ever. Beginning around 12pm Eastern Time, many users were unable to access the sites for up to 10 hours. The folks at CNET checked in to see if this outage had any effect on Pornhub’s traffic.
Much like we found during the YouTube outage in October, many users keep their fingers busy by heading to Pornhub while waiting for the SFW sites to come back online.
Pornhub Insights last took a detailed look at BBW searches (aka Big Beautiful Women) way back in 2015. In the meantime, BBW (NSFW) searches have continued to appear in numerous Insights posts like our annual Year in Review and niche topics like Feeder Fetish. MEL Magazine asked us to take a more detailed look at what keeps big women hugely popular on Pornhub.
International Women’s Day is March 8th, so our friends at Mashable asked us to take a closer look at what’s Pornhub’s female visitors like to watch. Women’s Day is about bringing women together, but this year the Insights team has decided to showcase how female porn viewership differs all around the world.
If you’ve read our 2018 Year in Review, you may already know that Lesbian (NSFW) is by far the most popular category of videos viewed by women, and in fact it’s 151% more popular with women when compared to men.
Believe it or not, this is the second time that a country’s President has prompted the Pornhub Insights team to take a closer look at Golden Shower searches.
This time around, it was Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro who asked “O que é golden shower?” while sharing footage of a man urinating on another during Brazil’s annual street festival.
To appropriately answer their President’s question, dutiful Brazilians headed to Pornhub, where ‘golden shower’ searches increased by 688% on March 6th and 1896% on March 7th.
As word of the gaffe made it’s way around the internet, our statisticians also found a 98% increase in worldwide ‘golden shower’ searches on March 6th and 173% on March 7th.
If you’ve read our 2018 Year in Review, you already know that Fortnite was one of the year’s top searches on Pornhub. In 2019, Fortnite continues to be our top game related search with a daily average of 151,000.
But Fortnite may have some new competition from Apex Legends, which launched February 4th with no prior announcement or marketing. Inverse asked the Insights team if the new game has had any effect on Pornhub’s searches.
On February 6th we found just 800 searches for Apex Legends. A week later searches exceeded 10,000 per day and by February 18th our statisticians recorded a peak of 357,701 searches on a single day, more than double that of Fortnite.
In the days since, Apex Legends searches have settled to around 100,000 per day, but combined they have gone from zero to 2.27 million searches in 22 days.
The most popular Apex Legends related searches include “Apex Legends porn”, “Apex Legends hentai (NSFW)” and “Apex legends Wraith”.
Here we go again with the 69th edition of the Italian music Festival of Sanremo! On Tuesday, February 5th, the first of the five-night run of the most famous Italian (NSFW) music events took place, hosted this year by Claudio Baglioni, Virginia Raffaele and Claudio Bisio.
So, we joined with our friends at Fanpage.it for the third year in a row to check what happened on Pornhub.
