That "50 Nifty United States" song you learned in grade school will never sound the same.
PornHub has released a mid-year report of some user statistics by state. The biggest takeaway is that, without exception, Southern porn-watchers spend more time indulging in their hobby than their Northern counterparts. You'd think we'd read enough Tennessee Williams plays to know that already.
It goes from the most time, Mississippi (11 minutes, 59 seconds), to the rest of the Southern states, then the Northern states, and then the final three, New Hampshire, Vermont and finally Rhode Island (10 minutes). New York is surprisingly low on the list, considering I live here.
The top three searches of porn niches in each state are basically your usual suspects. "Creampie" (when a guy comes inside a girl), "college," "teen," "compilation," "lesbians" and "milf." One interesting side-note: States like Alabama, Kentucky and Louisiana, who have — let's just say a history with the Civil Rights movement — count "ebony" among their top search terms. Make of that what you will.
The average US porn watcher spends 10 minutes and 51 seconds watching "teens, "creampies" and "milfs." Then there are the searches on the odd side...
Wyoming: "smoking." This can only mean... smoking during sex? Smoking after sex? Does the Surgeon General's warning on cigarette packs in Wyoming read, "You should not smoke if you do not want a massive and immediate boner?"
Nevada: "anita queen." A quick Google reveals that Anita Queen is a porn actress who has starred in such Independent Spirit Award-winning films as Big Titty Lesbians and Drunk Sex Orgy: Prison Pussy Break. She was also in Hostel, apparently.
Kentucky, Virginia, Massachusetts: "hentai" Short for hentai seiyoku, a Japanese phrase that means "perverse sexual desire," hentai is often found in the form of anime porn, either comics or animation. One popular example of this is Weather Report Girl, which contains what looks like a hell of a lot of sex but no weather reporting.
This has been today's America Is Drenched In Semen report.
