Press / xHamster Releases Annual "Year in Porn" Stats for 2016

"Mature" Women, Mia Khalifa and Melania lead the way in xHamsters first annual survey of worldwide porn habits for 2016.

CYPRUS — The numbers are in, and 2016 looking likes it might be the most fap-tastic year yet! Thanks to politically charged sex tapes, a nude FLOTUS-to-be and threatened porn bans in the US, UK, Israel and Russia, interest in adult content soared in 2016. Top adult tube site xHamster has released its first comprehensive survey of porn viewership in 2016. Over the next few days, xHamster will releasing stats on everything from the top search terms to most requested stars, to the countries with the highest percentage of female viewers.

  • Forget MILF! The most visited for category in 2016 was "Matures" — women in their 40s and 50s!
  • Porn star Mia Khalifa topped this year’s list of most searched for star ... but "mature" Nina Hartley wasn't far behind!
  • Searches for porn with "Hillary Clinton" (83,800) were nearly double those for "Donald Trump" (39,200) — but Melania beat them both.
  • Thailand boasted the greatest staying power of any country in the world. The shortest? Colombia.
  • Italy like blowjobs best, Filipinos want up-skirt videos and the British love to watch public sex. Guess who likes "mom"?
  • The most searched for food of the 2016? Cucumbers. (Take that, hot dogs!)

The first part of the survey is available on the xHamster blog today. Additional updates will come Friday and Monday.

That's just the start of it. Viewers watched over 1.8 billion hours of video on xHamster this year (that's 205,479 years in 2016), and what they're viewing habits told us will be some of the most illuminating numbers of the year.
