India loves its porn. No wonder our country is the third largest traffic source for Pornhub, one of the largest porn sites in the world. Only US and UK seem more keen on online sleaze, taking the first two spots on the site. Actually, India has pushed Canada and Japan down to reclaim the third spot, probably a result of the smartphone boom in India.

According to Pornhub’s numbers, they received a total of 33.5 billion visits over the course of 2018, approximately 5 billion more than in 2017. That comes up to about 92 million daily hits for the site on average. To put that in perspective, the number of people watching porn on the site each day are more than the population of Poland, Canada, and Australia combined.

Strangely enough Kim Kardashian’s now 15-year-old sex tape is still Pornhub’s most-watched video, getting about 55 views every minute. This despite approximately two hours of new content being uploaded every minute. That’s some staying power for Miss K. Maybe people just like the classics.

In other news, it looks like Fortnite isn’t just taking over 2018’s YouTube Rewind. The Battle Royale game was one of the top searches on Ponrhub throughout the year. Meanwhile, former pornstar Stormy Daniels is the new most-searched pornstar, thanks to her controversial links to US president Donald Trump.

On the traffic side, the US is still the top user of Pornhub, providing the most amount of daily traffic. The UK is in second place with India racing into third, followed by Japan and Canada to round off the top 5. We’ve managed to keep the third rank we snagged last year, but it’ll be interesting to see how the recent porn ban in India affects next year’s numbers. After all, a lot of people may not yet know Pornhub made a site mirror active as soon as they heard about the order.

Embarrassingly, Indians are also some of the quickest to “finish”, it seems. Philippines features the longest session average of 13 minutes and 50 seconds, with the global average sitting at 10 minutes and 30 seconds.

As for Indian tastes, they don’t seem to have changed much in the past couple of years. Sunny Leone is still our favourite pornstar, despite her having retired from the biz five years ago, to pursue Bollywood dreams. The same goes for our second favourite Mia Khalifa, who was also only active for a year some time ago.

As far as categories go, it seems we’re still into MILFs here in India, and the universal favourite – lesbians – make an appearance in the top 5 as well. Our searches, however, revolve around very localised terms like “Indian college girls” and “Telugu blue film”. How’s that for Make in India?

At the very least, it seems more Indian women are discovering the joy of free online porn. India’s gender ratio went up this past year, from about 26 percent women to approximately 30 percent. That’s a better ratio than even countries like France, the US, and the UK.

Meanwhile, it seems it’s millenials that are largely on Pornhub in India, with about 85 percent being between 18 to 34 years old. And many of those are watching erotic art on their phones, thanks to an abundance of cheap data plans. Though the global phone traffic average is 71.6 percent, a whopping 95 percent of Indian viewers are searching for Sunny from their phones.

It was inevitable after all. If you bring someone to the Internet for the first time, they’re eventually going to  porn. That’s like a cardinal rule or something.
