PornHub: Women Watched More Porn Than Men In 2017

The world's largest adult video website recently released statistics revealing that "porn for women" was the most popular search term on their site.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Make sure to check out our 2017 year in review! It&#39;s very interesting and slightly lol. <a href="https://t.co/Kb1pIj2mla">https://t.co/Kb1pIj2mla</a> <a href="https://t.co/mAi042uP89">pic.twitter.com/mAi042uP89</a></p>&mdash; Pornhub ARIA (@Pornhub) <a href="https://twitter.com/Pornhub/status/951491585933496322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 11, 2018</a></blockquote>

In its year-in-review, the company said the term increased 1400 percent last year compared to other search terms.

The second most searched videos were ones inspired by the Rick and Morty cartoon followed closely by videos involving fidget spinners, a gadget meant to help you focus that exploded in popularity in 2017.

Pornhub isn't the only adult website that saw an increase in female viewers, Xhamster also reported a rise in lady viewership in the company's <a href="https://xhamster.com/blog/posts/745297">trend report</a> for 2018.

Xhamster attributes the rise in female viewership to emerging markets saying that South Africa and Saudi Arabia experienced a double-digit percentage increase in female viewers. The company expects the trend to continue in 2018.

The recent surge, however, is not new and has been on the rise over the past few years. A survey 3,000 women conducted by Marie Claire in 2015 showed that more than half of respondents watched porn regularly.

A relationship psychotherapist based in Beverly Hills named Fran Walfish says that women are using porn sites more and more in place of other forms of adult entertainment like erotica novels.

"They don’t have to go to a store and buy videos. They don’t have to go to a bookstore. It’s easily accessible online," Walfish explains.

"I think it’s related to a couple of things, number one, primarily, the sexual freedom and more permissiveness for sexual equality among men and women that there is today versus decades ago."

Walfish goes on to say that she believes porn-viewing is health and argues that watching porn is best when a partner is watching as well as opposed to watching alone.

"The other one is left out of the experience and the other one is left out of the learning process of what feels good to that person, and it becomes very solo."
