‘Hard to deny the twink takeover’: Gay porn’s most viewed categories globally – from ‘cartoon’ to ‘straight guys’
'Twink' was the most popular category in South America, Russia, and much of Europe, according to Pornhub
‘Twink’ is the most popular gay porn globally, according to Pornhub – and it was specifically the number one category in South America, Russia, and much of Europe.
In the data from the porn giant for Pride month, the popular platform adds to a slew of insights already revealed – such as last week’s intel focused on US states.
(According to Pornhub and Pride.com, ‘lingerie’ was the top relative gay search in California and that the US state in which users are least likely to watch gay content is Alaska.)
“Worldwide, the dominating categories differed between the continents,” explained a Pornhub rep. “However, it was hard to deny the twink takeover from South America, Russia, and much of Europe.” Here several more key insights from the data…
The most popular category in North America was ‘bareback’
The term was also most popular in Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, and Wyoming. However, ‘twink’ was most popular North and South Dakota, and Kansas.
