If YouTube’s end-of-year wrap-up was anything to go by, 2019 has been a hell of a weird and wild year. But those stats pale in comparison to the 2019 year-in-review insights dropped by Pornhub.
Every year the porn streaming giant drops its load and a heap of stats detailing what everyone around the world has been fapping to, when they’re doing it and what’s been tickling people’s fancy over the past 12 months.
While 2019 has been quite insightful, there are two big stats that pop out: gamers and Australia.
It’s not that surprising that there’s a large crossover between folks who are gamers and folks who jerk it to porn. What’s surprising is the breakdown of the numbers in terms of what is the most popular console to watch Pornhub content on.
Apparently 51.5 percent of people really like fapping off to Pornhub content on PlayStation, followed by 34.7 percent on Xbox. But the most eye-catching stats are the 9.1 percent of users on PlayStation Vita and the 0.4 percent on Nintendo 3DS
It’s great that the PlayStation Vita is finally getting some love (literally) after years of being shafted by the 3DS, but watching porn on these two devices raises some questions.
Not only are both consoles handhelds, which makes the logistics pretty difficult compared to a PC or TV, they’re both nearly a decade old which means the video quality will be pretty dodgy, which doesn’t exactly make for a good fapping session.
Having said that, kudos to those managing to crank it to pixellated Pornhub videos on their Vita and 3DS because that deserves some respect.
Now Pornhub hasn’t revealed the exact number of gamers and people who are jacking it to their gaming console so it could be millions or it could literally be 17 people. But hey, these are insights and boy are they insightful.
Moving on from gamers to Australia, Pornhub says we’re no more or less hornier in 2019 than we were in 2018 (Australia is still ranked 9th in the world in terms of the top 20 countries by traffic), nor has our obsession with lesbian porn dimmed.
Having said that, it seems like folks Down Under have developed a bit of yellow fever as “hentai” rose up two spots to rank as the second most-searched Pornhub term while “chinese” jumped a whopping 74 spots into the no.8 spot.
It’s not just men though as Pornhub says Australian women were 107 percent more likely to watch “Asian” porn videos compared to the rest of the world.
But it’s not all just about cranking it to hentai lesbian videos on Pornhub for Aussies. Australia Day caused a big 16 percent drop in worldwide traffic, which shows that folks have more things to do than jerking off.
So it seems like the big takeaways from Pornhub’s 2019 year in review is “don’t ever touch another person’s PlayStation controller or Vita again” and “Australia is still horny AF.”
There are many, many more insightful gems in Pornhub’s 2019 year in review that we couldn’t fit in this article so check them out here if you want.
Happy reading and fapping, y’all!
