Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 4 MIN.
Pornhub unveiled its year-end stats to reveal the most popular search terms, users' favorite adult star and content creators, and more.
Securing spots at the top of the rankings were the search term "twink," the category "Lesbian," and gay porn fave Malik Delgaty, Australian newspaper the Star Observer noted, before clocking "a rise in the popularity of transgender performers, with the most viewed creators, PuppyGirlXO, Emma Rose, and Daniela Chanel all racking up tens of millions of views each."
Taking note of generational trends, Mashable noted that "Boomers were 36 percent more likely than younger generations to view strap-on porn this year, and 32 percent more likely to view gangbangs." Unlike last year, however, "Trans porn didn't make the cut" for boomers, who had shown a thirst for that category before.
The roundup made a distinction between "porn stars" and "amateur models." The latter category featured several hot guys, including Scott Stark and Gattouz0 (who came in fourth and fifth on the mixed-gender list, respectively).
