AEBN Reports 4 States Lead the Way in Watching VOD Films

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Viewers in Michigan, Washington, Arizona and Maryland watched more porn movies in May than those in any other states, according to AEBN.

AEBN’s monthly adult VOD Trend Report indicates the preference of viewers was on the kinky side, with the most popular movies being those dealing with gangbangs and featuring sexually experienced adults with younger partners.

Jerry Anders, vice president of sales and marketing for AEBN, said statistics show the horniest states in the country in May were Michigan, Washington, Arizona and Maryland.

The horniest cities were Detroit, Mich.; Seattle, Wash.; Phoenix, Ariz.; and Baltimore, Md.; followed by Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, Mich.; Spokane, Wash.; Vancouver, B.C.; Tucson, Ariz.; and Bethesda, Md.

He also said AEBN has begun giving priority to titles available in HD "and it is obvious the customers are eating it up."

The VOD Trend Report indicated that the horniest gay states and cities in May were: 

New Jersey (Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken); Virginia (Arlington, Richmond, Alexandria); Ohio (Columbus, Cincinnati, Akron) and North Carolina (Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro).

Germany was the leading international country for watching gay movies through VOD, led by Berlin, Munich and Cologne.
