Pornhub has released its global yearly report, revealing the most-searched fetishes of 2023.
Users were particularly interested in ‘mature’ content, with searches like ‘sexy granny’, ‘MILF’, ‘DILF’ and ‘cougar’ all making the top spots.
The adult website sifted through data from billions of visits to see what content defined the year’s tastes, finding the top category was ‘The Golden Age.’
IN general, 2023 was a breakout year for artificial intelligence, and Pornhub’s results show that this also extended to pornography, with searches for ‘android‘ porn also popular.
It seems Pornhub is maturing, according to its most searched fetishes of 2023 that included ‘Granny’ and ‘MILF’
Dr. Laurie Betito of the Sexual Wellness Center said: ‘It is human nature to be curious about the extraordinary. When it comes to sex, it is no different.
‘We are all voyeurs to some degree, and we want to see the extremes—what we generally don’t have access to in real life.’
After elderly porn, the second most popular category was ‘Super Size.’
This saw a rise with terms like ‘big,’ ‘bigger,’ and ‘biggest’ that grew by 177 percent worldwide.
‘In the United States, searches for ‘big a**’ and ‘bbc’ became the 7th and 8th most popular searches, as well as ‘big ti**’ seeing significant gains,’ the announcement reads.

‘Sex Machines’ came in third in terms of categories, with searches like ‘robot’ seeing a 304 percent increase year-on-year.
Under the robot theme were terms for ‘sex robot,’ ‘AI robot,’ ‘3D robot,’ and ‘anime robot.’
‘Search trends over the years always coincide with what’s trending in technology,’ said Betito.
‘Right now, we are seeing a lot about the development of ‘sex robots,’ so who wouldn’t be curious about that?’
The fourth most popular category was ‘Uniforms,’ which could be due to wars sparking across the globe, reviving people’s fetish for someone of military status.
The searches, ‘military uniform,’ ‘cop uniform,’ and ‘man in uniform’ saw increases, displacing previous favorites like ‘maid uniform.’
This year, ‘soldier’ searches grew 332 percent, with ‘female soldier’ ranked as the fifth most popular search, ahead of ‘military soldier’ and ‘gay soldier.’
‘People in uniform symbolize power, and many people are attracted to people who exude power and control,’ Betito said.
‘Other attractive qualities that uniforms (especially military, cop, firefighter, etc.) represent are discipline, heroism, responsibility, courage, and a commitment to helping people.
‘Add a dose of hotness to the uniform, and you have, for some people, the perfect fantasy partner.’
The fifth most popular category was deemed ‘Sexual Healing,’ due to terms like ‘massage therapy,’ therapy sex’ and ‘foot therapy’ gaining more traffic.
‘Therapy” searches grew over the year, up 344 percent since 2022 worldwide.
‘I find it interesting that ‘therapy’ is a porn search word,’ Betito said.
‘More and more people, thankfully, are seeking help for mental health and sexual issues, which is great.
‘However, at the same time, fantasies involving a patient/therapist relationship turned sexual is quite common, probably because it is taboo and involves a power differential.
‘In real life, clients can experience feelings for a therapist (transference) because of the nature of the relationship (the client shares very intimate details of their life and feels safe), and this can turn into fantasies of a sexual nature.
‘The forbidden nature of the relationship may also fuel this fantasy.’
