Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Pornhubs prolific Insights blog fires out many reports of sociological interest, none more so than its latest on age, which lays bare different age groups' sexual proclivities.
Looking at the most popular searches among 18-24s, there are several familial terms including 'step mom', 'milf', 'mom' and 'step sister', a trend that seems to die out somewhat in users' 30s.
We then start to see 'massage' creep higher up the list as people approach middle age, start getting more aches and pains and find themselves day-dreaming on the massage table.
By 65, 'massage' becomes the top term, while 'granny' perhaps unsurprisingly also hits the top ten.
Perhaps more interesting is looking at how age groups' searches vary in regards to others (below).
With this filter applied, it's clear that Hentai is very much a thing only young people have heard of, along with the individual names of porn stars.
'Wife swap' and 'cuckold' arrive in 35-54, presumably as married people's eyes start to wander, along with a more vintage star, Jenna Jameson.
Quite adorably, the 55+'s are searching for 'nude', apparently having just discovered "this internet porn business", along with other more gentle terms like 'soft' and 'boobs'.
