2016, while it was a setback in many areas, was definitely good for porn in the U.S. According to Pornhub’s 2016 Year in Review, the U.S. still watches the most porn out of everyone else in the world. It also looks like people are still really into step moms.
In 2016, 40 percent of Pornhub’s traffic came from the U.S. followed by the U.K. and Canada. Whenever there’s a huge event or some kind of cultural phenomenon, you can safely assume there’s going to be a porn of it. Thanks to "Pokemon Go", searches for Pokemon porn increased by 136 percent. The Summer Olympics in Rio saw a 2,729 percent increase in Olympics-related porn searches in August. Then we had the election, which led to huge increases in Trump family searches after his win. But those were just changes brought on by major events.
So, what kind of porn do Americans typically search for on a regular day? Pornhub's Year in Review has the answer to that, plus other great info to know on your fellow Americans' porn viewing habits. Here are some things to know about porn in the U.S. in 2016:
1
The Most Searched For Term In The United States Is "Step Mom"
The step mom scenario topped the list of most searched for terms once again. Lesbian was the second most popular term followed by step sister, milf, and cartoon.
2
People In The U.S. Spent An Average Of 10 Minutes And 15 Seconds On Pornhub
That's actually 24 seconds longer than last year. Unless you're really going into it for a long drawn out storyline, a 10 minute video with all the right elements to get you off is all you really need. The U.S. spends the third longest time on Pornhub after the Philippines (12 minutes and 45 seconds) and South Africa (10 minutes and 46 seconds). Worldwide, the average visit to the site lasts around 9 minutes and 36 seconds.

Mississippi Spent The Most Time On Pornhub
Mississippi spent an average of 11 minutes and 8 seconds per visit. The longest out of everyone else in the country. Other states that stayed on longest were Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

Oregon Stayed On The Shortest
Oregon stayed on for the shortest amount of time with an average of 9 minutes and 27 seconds per visit. Other states that kept their visits on the shorter end include Utah, Kansas, Colorado and New Hampshire.
5
The Most Popular Time To Watch Porn Is At Midnight
Specifically midnight on Friday and Saturday. It's a perfectly good low-key way to spend those nights. Besides, porn is reliable. You don't have to deal with the headache of finding a hookup that you may or may not regret afterward. Throughout the week, most people watch porn between the hours of 10PM and midnight. From Sunday through Thursday, 11 p.m. is also a popular hour.
6
People Still Love Lesbian Porn
While "lesbian" wasn't the number one searched for term of last year, it did move up a spot to second place. Lesbian porn as a category, however, was the top searched for category followed by ebony and teen.

People Are Still Searching For Kim Kardashian
Even though she isn't a porn star, Kim Kardashian is still the most searched for person on Pornhub in the U.S., followed by actual porn stars Mia Khalifa and Lisa Ann.

Women Watch Less Porn Than Men
In the U.S., 25 percent of the viewers are female, 75 percent are male. Worldwide, 26 percent of the porn viewing population is female, which is actually a two percent increase from 2015. The countries with the highest proportion of female visitors are Jamaica (46 percent), Micronesia (42 percent), and the Bahamas (42 percent).

Virtual Reality Searches Received The Most Gains In The Past Year
Searches for virtual reality porn saw a 385 percent increase. But it wasn't just in the U.S. Other countries like Australia, Canada, France, and Germany saw big increases in VR porn searches. It's definitely becoming a trend.
Overall a lot of things happened this year, and weirdly enough our porn habits reflected that. Now that it's 2017, I can't wait to see what kind of strange and culturally relevant porn will accompany it.
