Sometimes your greatest allies in life come in strange packages and for many in the age of the internet, it’s taken the form of a little orange and black logo that stoically indulges your darkest fantasies and guards your deepest secrets. I mean, how often will you find someone who unquestioningly satisfies your need for sexy mallu aunties? We’re talking of course, about PornHub, the world’s friendly neighbourhood erotic distributor with a heart of gold. Since 2007, they’ve been the go-to providers for porn across the world and have made a name for themselves with their diverse content and witty marketing campaigns. Not to mention their dedication to providing us with statistical insights we never knew we wanted or needed with their Year In Review series.
Five years ago, they decided to let us all in on these secrets with the series which outlined all the gory details of the world’s preferences. By analysing the personal data collected from Google (we’ll just skip over how creepy THAT is) they can estimate the likes and dislikes of entire countries at once. Aside from being unnervingly intrusive, it also makes for some interesting reading and the 2017 report revealed some surprising facts about how India likes to get down.
Of the 8.1 million people they cater to every day India ranks 3rd in consumption after the U.S.A and the U.K, not really a surprise considering most of our billion strong population is internet savvy. Speaking of which, the nationwide shift to 4G cell phone providers means the terms ‘HD Hindi’ and ‘Indian HD’ saw a increase of 1822 and 1273 per cent respectively in search results and since 87% of our traffic comes from cell phones, we can only imagine there were a lot of people watching some great quality porn on your train ride home.
Women really took charge of their own pleasure last year with the proportion of female viewers climbing by a staggering 129% since the year before, the largest margin of any country in the world. We learned earlier in the year that women were coming around to the thought of open conversation about masturbation, it’s nice to have statistical data that proves we’re finally breaking free of the stereotypes and learning that self-love can be the best love.
However along with the wonderful comes a slice of weird and it seems that India is as obsessed as ever with having sex with ‘Tamil Aunties’. In fact, it looks like any porn with older women is fair game with most of the top 10 most-searched categories involving some permutation of ‘Indian Bhabhi (wife)’. Since the overwhelming amount of traffic comes from users between the ages of 18 to 24, we can’t help but wonder if we’re just suffering from a national level Oedipal complex. There was a noticeable increase in people searching for cheerleader porn though, but that might just be down to movie channels screening way too many reruns of ‘Bring It On’. While don’t fully understand the appeal, to each his own right?
So as it transpires, our repressed, sexually stunted, sanskari country actually has a secret sex drive. We’re all for people exploring and experimenting with their personal understanding of sex and hopefully this huge section of our population that are regular porn watchers will be the initiators for more open conversation and a healthier, safer, more conscientiously consensual approach to sex.
