Pornhub is pulling back the covers on X-rated viewing habits, unveiling their website’s most popular searches for 2022 in America — and an Aussie has made the top five list.
The company released the dirty data on Tuesday, revealing that “lesbian” was the most searched term in the USA, with “hentai” – a type of Japanese anime – following close behind, the New York Post reports.
Meanwhile, the words “blow job,” “cosplay” and “trans” also saw considerable search growth in 2022, while “transgender” exploded in popularity to become America’s fourth most-viewed category overall.
According to Pornhub, the kinky category saw a 75 per cent increase in viewers, with the company stating that their top searches are “often influenced by pop culture and other worldwide events”.
“Many [search] terms define 2022 not just on Pornhub but in mainstream media as well,” they declared.

Despite domestic problems, including soaring inflation and political polarisation, America was still the country with the highest daily traffic to Pornhub – with stressed-out citizens seemingly turning to adult entertainment to forget about their daily dilemmas.
The United Kingdom came second, followed by France, Japan, Mexico and Italy.
Meanwhile, 27-year-old Abella Danger rose up the ranks to become America’s most popular porn star of 2022, overtaking last year’s most-searched, Lana Rhoades, who fell to second place.
Riley Reid, Violet Myers and amorous Aussie Angela White rounded out the top five most popular porn stars across the US.
Elsewhere, an analysis of America’s viewing habits revealed differences between states, with interest in some search terms and categories varying depending on location.
For instance, residents in Utah were more likely to search for “Mormon” porn, while erotic Oregon viewers searched for “furry” more than those in other states.
Texans, meanwhile, looked up the term “panties” on a more frequent basis, while “pegging” proved popular as a buzzword in Wisconsin and “step mum” was tops in Ohio.
The data analysis also revealed a whopping 86 per cent of Americans consumed Pornhub videos on their phones this year – seemingly sneaking away to enjoy some alone time on their mobile device.
Meanwhile, Sunday was the most popular day for US citizens to stream naughty content, but there was a noticeable dip in traffic across the country on New Year’s Day 2022.
It seems many Americans weren’t getting horny on the holiday, with 24 per cent fewer visitors flocking to the site on January 1.
