Pornhub Valentine's Day searches by US state

I don’t know what to do with this information

Man, the number of places pornhub has pulled out of (hehehe) is nuts. Georgia is the only surprise on here, since Louisiana has some government program there using to stay live.
- is nuts
  🤭

I just think that it's both sweet, and a little sad, that there are searches for "hugging", "intimate", and "cuddling".
Has someone checked in on Wyoming, North Dakota, and Ohio? They seem like they might be lonely.

The contrast between Wyoming and Colorado made me burst out laughing:

This map is useless without a p value. This could all be random noise.
- Yeah. IDK what is meant by a P value but I agree that I suspect the methodology used to create this is designed to make the data more interesting than it really is.
  As in, how much more frequently is "enema" searched for in Alaska than elsewhere, and are there more vanilla terms like "college" which occur more frequently in Alaska than elsewhere.

I find it hard to believe that all the search terms are different in each state…
- Terms searched more often in each state when compared to others
  They're different by virtue of the criteria, if I understand it correctly.

Alaska? What's occurring?

Holy shit like half the country is missing. Fucking nanny state horseshit
- I'm surprised Indiana is on there, unless people are submitting their IDs. I personally get my porn fix from a nice young man on an electric scooter every Thursday.

These maps are no longer useful with so many millions vpn into other states. Pornhub maps list their charm. Rip pornhub maps 2025.

alaska be like
- I misread, absolute enema
  
  Absolut enema?

What’s up with Alaska?

Hawaii and Nevada should date ❤️
- And turn into New Hampshire and New Mexico someday

Wyoming really needs some emotional help
- Meanwhile, Louisiana... 👀
  
  Not sure if self or not.
- So does N Dakota
  
  And Ohio

All those blank states. VPN profits must be up.
- Im in texas. I was getting the hub from colorado. Today Im more in a Wyoming sort of mood. Need to get the best results. Time to change servers.

Not to kink-shame but, wtf Alaska?
- They're just a more prepared California.
- Honestly, Indiana has me more baffled.
  
  I don't know what that is, and I'm afraid to search it!

Whoa, it's wild seeing the map of "places that ban us"
- I feel like that’s the real message in this map.
  1: Haha, look at funny sex words!
  2: Wait, why are all those states…
  3: … Ohhh shit.
- Kind of. "Places that an adult in their own home has to register with the state to see porn, so pornhub disables the state"
  They try to regulate porn by mandating a user show their id to the provider, and they totally won't abuse that list of users at all they pinky swear
  
  the worst thing about this is that the VPNs people use to get around it will mess up the data. we may never know which state really looked up flogging the most on valentine's day :(
  
  Apparently Louisiana was “smart” and allows a third party to do this for them, called AllpassTrust. Pornhub is fine with this type of verification, which is why LA is the only southern state here (GA isn’t southern enough).
  
  Yeah there's some that try and do ID verification here... Like verification by webcam AI age shit. No no no no no.
  NO
- I dunno but I think i see a match in progress between Colorado and Georgia.

I see gramps from Illinois is typing his questions into the wrong search bar again.

Seeing hugging and cuddling makes me curious. Are there videos of people just cuddling on those kinds of platforms? That seems really wholesome unless it's awkward naked cuddles.
It also surprises me that so many of the top searches include things I feel are labeled as kinks. Aren't they things that only small demographics enjoy, if so many people enjoy it is maybe wrong to perceive it that way?
- What's awkward about naked cuddles? As a queer woman it's probably my favourite thing to do with a partner. Skin to skin contact is just really healing.
  
  Maybe it's just lack of experience, I suppose with certain people it wouldn't be too bad. The hair might be annoying as not all of it as soft as on my head but I think I'd be uncomfortable.

I'm so proud of you, Ohio.
- Has anyone checked in on Louisiana recently?

Wyoming and Ohio need each other.
- Wyoming and Ohio lead to Colorado.

Searching Wife on pornhub feels backwards

Yep. That's Michigan in February for ya.

Oh sure, now that I've left Indiana, suddenly being queer is a good thing...
- That says queef.
  
  Ah.
  I may not be wearing my glasses and I may have had some wine.
  
  id prefer it said queer, queen, queesy or queso over queef.
  
  😭

Softcore? I’m embarrassed for my state
- At least you’re not in Vermont, searching for “pee”
  
  Or NH checking out the grandpas
  
  Queef might take the cake for me
  
  Kinda surprised, I'd think anyone into watersports would call it watersports. I guess I overestimate how much the average kink porn watcher knows about the kinks they watch

I expected no less from South Dakota.

New Hampshire ♥️ New Mexico
- Pennsylvania ♥️ Missouri

I don't understand why they would be different. Why does the state line dictate what kink a population is into?
- "Top relative" probably means the search term which is the highest relative to other states, so them being different is built into the concept.
  
  Makes sense. It's not very interesting if every state was "trans pegging".
- The map indicates the most popular searches from the IP addresses within each state. Or at least I think it does. It seems a bit odd that something like "intimate" could ever be more popular than like bj or something

Why would the list be done by early afternoon? Wouldn't it make more sense to post the top searches of valentine's day after they are all in? For all I know people looking at porn before noon could be in the minority and these results would be completely overshadowed by later searches.
- Maybe it's based off UTC but that wouldn't really apply to the us.

Indiana, I hope we never meet again

I think North Dakota is just trying to say warm, but doesn’t know how to actually ask for what they need.

I always wonder what the actual statistical significance of these maps are. They always seem random, and it'd make sense if it's essentially the same mix of a little of everything everywhere.
- I find it mildly interesting that, aside from California, no state was a leader in a "common" porn. By that I mean go look at the top 100 videos/categories. No state took the lead in blowjob or step-anything.
  This leads me to think that they were filtered out. I would say mathematically similar between states, except pornhub has released exactly that data on numerous occasions. But if they didn't filter out anal, then how much more popular did it have to be?
- I believe the main purpose of releasing them is to generate publicity for their company that they might not be able to get otherwise in more mainstream media. Much like how the legal brothels in Nevada put out press releases about how they’re offering free services to first responders who helped on a recent disaster or something like that. It gets people talking about them and spreads awareness about their offerings.
- Pornhub actually has a pretty good blog that goes into detail on all kinds of trends. You might find answers there.
- You'll find your answer in the gray text above the map.

Wife? Do they not have their own wife?
- I would guess that it is mostly single people responsible for these statistics

Those passionate Minnesotans!
