Cosplay was another popular search for this year, and with Belle Delphine and Aliens at the top of the list, it’s not hard to see why. 2019 seemed to be a year for dressing up and partaking in all those other-worldly desires everydayness doesn’t afford us!
Mature searches also defined 2019, with the rise of GILF porn and categories people are now free to indulge in their aged-to-perfection fantasies. Bisexuality was also a definitive term, why choose when you can have both? Apex Legends replaced Fortnite for our video game term that defined 2019, which you can learn more in our section on Video Game Searches.
Lastly, ASMR made the list of searches that defined 2019 – such a controversial fetish that some people don’t even believe it exists. This search will truly make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, I guess you’ll just have to visit Pornhub and find out for yourself. And last, but certainly not least, Femdom made the list of searches that defined 2019. Women-in-power has been trending for a while now, so why shouldn’t Pornhub’s porn searches reflect this!
Dr. Laurie tell us that, “People are searching for out of the box porn with searches like Cosplay and ASMR. The interest in Cosplay indicates the desire for all kinds of fantasy play. It’s not just about the sex — the costumes play a big role in stimulating the brain, taking people out of the ordinary. It’s the same for ASMR which is all about the sensorial experience. People want to be transported to another state of mind, not just by images, but also sounds.”
2019’s Most Searched for Terms
Trendy terms aside, Pornhub’s top 25 searches saw some serious action in 2019 as ‘Japanese’ shot up 4 positions to become the most searched term of 2019. Much of that growth in popularity was due to a big traffic increase from Japan in 2019, more on that below. While ‘hentai’ remained the second most popular term, ‘lesbian’ has now dropped down to number three, and ‘milf’ to number four.
Searches for ‘Korean’ and ‘Asian’ moved further up the list, causing previously popular terms like ‘step mom’ and ‘massage’ to move down slightly. Other ethnicity searches like ‘Latina’, ‘Indian’ and ‘Ebony’ saw significant gains in 2019, while ‘anime’, ‘public’ and ‘bbc’ also moved up several positions.
This year Lana Rhoades (NSFW) became the most searched for pornstar on Pornhub, racking up 345 million videos on her way. Riley Reid (NSFW) remained the third most searched, but had an even higher number of video views at 585 million!
Abella Danger (NSFW) moved up 7 spots to become the fourth most popular, while Brandi Love (NSFW) remained fifth for another year. The only male pornstar to make our top 25 list is Jordi El Nino Polla(NSFW), who gained 6 positions over the past year.
Other pornstars who excelled at changing positions included Adriana Chechik (NSFW) up 8, Angela White (NSFW) up 11, Lena Paul (NSFW) up 10 and Lela Star (NSFW) up 17.
While Jordi El Nino Polla was by far the most popular male pornstar of the year, the next most popular men were Alex Adams(NSFW), Owen Gray (NSFW), Johnny Sins(NSFW) and James Deen (NSFW). The following chart illustrates where these leading men rank when including the most searched for female pornstars as well.
While it might seem like a fun job, these male pornstars are often the most hard working ‘members’ of the porn industry. Alex Adams for example has more than 400 videos on Pornhub with 2.1 Billion combined views and Johnny Sins’ videos have been viewed more than 1.1 Billion times. Keep it up gents.
Below you can find the most viewed Verified Amateur Models of 2019. LittleReislin (NSFW) tops the list with over 282 million video views, followed by Solazola (NSFW) with 214 million and NoFaceGirl (NSFW) with 195 million.
Top 20 Countries by Traffic
Once again, the United States continues to be the country with the highest daily traffic to Pornhub, followed by Japan which moved up 2 positions in the past year. The traffic increase from Japan played a role in many of the top search increases of the year such as ‘Japanese’ moving into the top spot.
As Japan moved up, the United Kingdom moved down to third, while India moved down 12 positions from it’s previous third place position in 2018 partly due to the Indian government blocking access to some porn sites.
New to the top 20 countries this year is Thailand, up 6 positions from 2018. Combined, these countries make up 79% of Pornhub’s daily traffic. To learn more about the porn preferences of each country you can skip to the Top 20 Countries In Depthsection at the end of the Year in Review.
