I've said it before and will say it again. Pornhub is an awful streaming site. Idk who the hell is going there to watch porn.

Inception of the subconscious. The more something is spoken (not the porn the Transgender topic and that for the last decade has been a major talking point ) about and put out there the more curious the mind is.

The more you make something taboo the more people want to see it.

Pornhub 2025: Russia Transgender Porn Boom Amidst Anti-LGBTQ+ Ban

Pornhub 2025: Russia Transgender Porn Boom Amidst Anti-LGBTQ+ Ban
Russia’s escalating crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights confronts an unexpected digital phenomenon: a surge in online interest for transgender content, according to a recent report.

Policies restricting LGBTQ+ rights in Russia date back to 2013 with the initial “gay propaganda” law. This measure banned promoting “non-traditional sexual relations” to minors. By 2022, this expanded into broader censorship, outlawing such promotion to all ages and equating LGBTQ+ mentions in media with extremism. This led to significant fines for streaming services like Netflix.

Following the 2022 Ukraine invasion, the government intensified its efforts. In July 2023, President Putin signed a law banning gender-affirming care and legal gender changes. These policies are part of broader Russia LGBT bans. By mid-2025, authorities had issued over 100 convictions under these laws, with some cases tragically leading to suicides.

The impact of these policies is profound. Transgender individuals face deportation, severe barriers to healthcare, and heightened violence, especially in regions like Chechnya. These statutes align with Putin’s rhetoric, which frames LGBTQ+ rights as a direct threat to Russian traditional values.

Enforcement has driven the LGBTQ+ community further underground. Groups like the Russian LGBT Network have been labeled “foreign agents,” and many activists have fled the country. A July 2025 law further restricts online activity, making searches for related content punishable by fines and leading to increased self-censorship.

Against this backdrop, the Pornhub 2025 report reveals a striking contrast in online behavior. While “Hentai” typically leads global search categories, “Transgender” is now the top category in Russia, making “Russia transgender porn” the leading search term, surpassing “Anal.” This surge highlights a complex dynamic between governmental censorship and online curiosity.

Globally, LGBTQ+ content has seen a significant increase, with searches like “lesbian scissoring” and “trans threesome” rising. Other nations show diverse preferences: In the United States, “MILF” dominates, while Canada records high views for “Lesbian” and “Transgender” content.

Experts are weighing in on these trends. Natassia Dreams, a Pornhub expert, noted a “cultural shift” occurring amidst a rise in anti-trans incidents. Dreams cautioned that the data might be skewed by the widespread use of VPNs to circumvent online restrictions.

“The data shows a shift, but it is not a surprise. A culture that is repressed will find outlets to express itself, and in the case of Russia, the outlet might be online activity,”

— Natassia Dreams, Pornhub Expert

The situation has also sparked humorous reactions on social media platforms like NEXTA, where users highlighted what they perceive as hypocrisy. Some joked about Russians “becoming transgender in Ukrainian fields,” while others directed satire at Kremlin elites, contributing to broader global commentary on the situation.

The implications of this online data extend beyond mere search trends. They expose a deeper societal dynamic where increasingly restrictive laws collide with evolving cultural norms and individual expression. The growing online interest in LGBTQ+ content, despite severe official censorship, reveals a complex interplay between governmental control and the resilience of human curiosity.

This juxtaposition underscores the inherent difficulty governments face in controlling information in the digital age. The censorship irony at play suggests that attempts to suppress queer visibility may inadvertently draw more attention to it, prompting questions about the long-term societal impacts within Russia.

Shoutout my Louisiana nikkas,

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Can’t even enjoy watching Black porn because the algorithm is designed to include other races.

 

[Remote]

I think these lists are fake and used to create drama and chatter.

Transgender is a top searched term but Latina isn’t?
