PornMD Releases Global Porn Habits Infographic

CYBERSPACE — A new infographic listing the search term porn habits of people from around the world has been released by adult search engine PornMD.

The most common porn terms from the U.S., North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania got a 1-10 listing in order of popularity.

“Ever wonder which states or countries are into when it comes to what goes on behind closed doors? In this graphic below we take a look at the sexual interests of people around the planet,” the website's introduction reads.

The interactive maps show the most popular porn search terms for each region. For example, overall in the U.S., the top five searched terms are “Asian,” “massage,” “teen,” “milf” and “pov.” But if you click on each individual state you get different results. New York likes “college,” “milf,” “massage,” “teen” and “Asian,” while California is in line with overall U.S. findings of “Asian,” “massage,” “teen,” “milf” and “pov.”

Less urban spots like Alabama on the other hand liked “ebony,” “milf,” “teen,” “creampie” and “college.”

The term “milf” appears to be the big winner, ranking in the top 10 in nearly every state. And “anal’ “teen” and “milf” rank high nearly everywhere — except for China where country terms like “Japan,” China”, “Chinese gay” and Korea are on the list — no doubt because users fear reprisal from the country’s anti-porn Internet cops.

Interest in "parody" films appear to reign in the states of Iowa and Montana. And gay search terms are most prominent in South American countries.

A quick glance of European terms show that local interest tops the categories for most countries, with most preferring home-grown porn. Some odd choices pop up in countries like the Czech Republic that had “castrated shemales” in its top 10. 

Finland gets even weirder, with "mature" and "granny" topping the lists, while in Hungary the term “woodman” ranked high.

India had one of the most disturbing choices — listing "rape" at number seven.

Even some porn stars made the European and Asian lists including Sasha Grey, Rita Faltoyano, Lisa Ann, Sunny Leone and of course Rocco.  But interestingly, not one made the U.S. top 10.
