This is the 8th year that Pornhub has released their popular “year in review” report, which provides us with the hottest trends and popular search terms.

In 2018 the list included ‘Fortnite’ and ‘Bowsette’, while 2019 was led by ‘amateur’ porn and ‘aliens’ and 2020 was ‘quarantine’. For 2021, the top defining term is ‘hentai’.

In Japanese culture, hentai can refer to any sort of sexual fetish. But around the world it most often describes the pornographic form of anime, a style of Japanese film and television animation. Hundreds of thousands of hentai videos can be found on Pornhub, including professional productions, homemade animations made by fans and 3D generated scenes.

Hentai became the most popular search term in the world after it moved to the top spot in the United States, Pornhub’s biggest audience. Hentai was a top ten search in almost every country in 2021.

Trendy terms aside, Pornhub’s #1 worldwide search in 2021 was ‘hentai’, which moved up +1 spot to replace 2020’s favorite ‘Japanese’. ‘Lesbian’ and ‘MILF’ retained their 3rd and 4th positions, while ‘pinay’ (a Filipino woman) moved up +13 spots to complete our top five. Other gainers included ‘creampie’ (+5), ‘cosplay’ (+9), ‘pov’ (+8), and ‘squirt’ (+9).

Porn tastes vary from state to state. While Oklahoma is all about the natural tits, California is into the Asians.

Porn tastes also vary by country. Overall the Canadians love them some lesbian porn, while the Russians are apparently into Hentai and the same goes for South America.

Now that you know what kind of porn people watch, just who are the people watching it? Well, most are from the US, and the average visitor is a 37-year-old man who is probably on his cell phone. In fact, 83% of all traffic to pornhub last year was from a mobile device.
