Pornhub is cerita lucah kakak sekuar ketatback with its latest year in review. Considering the threats to the adult industry with Project 2025, these insights seem more pertinent than ever. Here are all the biggest trends — political and otherwise — that the tube site observed this year.

Pornhub and politics

This is the first of these reviews after the 2024 U.S. election, which divided the entire nation — including the porn industry. While some performers support Donald Trump, many fear the outcome of his presidency. This is due to Project 2025, a wishlist for Trump to implement in his second term — including a porn ban.

Whether such a ban will occur remains to be seen. Several U.S. states have already imposed age-verification laws, requiring ID for websites where over a third of the content hosted is explicit, thus making porn harder to access. Pornhub has responded by blocking itself from these states including Texas, Indiana, and Kentucky. Because of this, the map of the most popular searches in each state looks a bit different this year. The states where Pornhub is banned are grayed out:

Despite the efforts to ban porn (or at least limit access), the U.S. dominated the list of top 20 countries by traffic. (USA, USA!) The nation does have a higher population than the others in the top spots — but the sheer amount of traffic it drives to Pornhub is notable:

These top 20 countries account for 79.2 percent of all daily traffic, according to Pornhub. By time spent on the site, Mexico and the Netherlands beat out the U.S. slightly:

Geopolitics aside, Pornhub notes that the average time spent overall has dropped 29 seconds this year. Young adults are driving this increase: 18-24-year-olds spent less than 76 seconds on the site compared to the average. Either they're getting their kicks too soon, or going elsewhere.
