Just in case we were wondering whether we do. We do. Parts I've found interesting:

Pornhub knows that 2017 was a tough year for you. It was a tough year for all of us, full of stress, strife, worry and a bleak picture of the future with the world on the brink of pushing itself into the deep end of the pool off a diving board made of fragile egos and regressive ideals. Thankfully, there is porn. Pornhub was there, warmly putting a blanket around your shoulder as it made you hot chocolate and told you everything was going to be all right. As Pornhub's 2017 Year in Review insights reveals, 2017 was a big year for uploading and viewing porn, around the world and statistically — in your living room.

The Pornhub analytics team didn't slouch in their collection and presentation of data this year. The insights report is pretty comprehensive for its type, so you can view the entire SFW report here.

In 2017 Pornhub averaged 81 million visitors per day (28.5 billion visitors for the year), with 24.7 billion searches performed.

The global community was active as well, with over four million videos totaling 595,492 hours uploaded. That's 68 years of porn.

Every five minutes, Pornhub transmits more data than the entire contents of the New York Public Library's 50 million books. (data in terms of "bytes" of course)

Top three trending searches were "Porn for Women", "Rick and Morty" and "Fidget Spinners." (the f*ck?)

Riley Reid and Jordi El Nino Polla were the top searched-for female and male porn stars, respectively. Reid racked up a whopping 549mm video views, followed by Mia Khalifa at 443mm views and Lisa Ann with 279mm views

All major sporting events around the world saw a drop in porn viewing versus an average day.

On a worldwide scale, Millennials ruled the porn-viewing landscape. Ages 25 to 34 accounted for 32%. Not to be left out, the 65+ demographic accounted for 4%. The top search term for age 18-24 was "lesbian," while both the 25-34 and 35-44 group searched for "Japanese" the most. Perhaps they have international travel on the mind for the midlife crisis. "Milf" was the dominant search term for ages 45 and up, with the phrase "naked twerking" gaining the most ground in the 55-64 demographic because they probably were trying to find out what the hell twerking is.

I always thought it was weird that Asian women seem to be so generally desirable, but also seem pretty in uncommon in general media.

These are interesting, but without the valid statistical measures it’s pretty meaningless. I also don’t believe they normalise any data to things like population size or internet accessibility.

The UK being the 2nd in the list of countries that generate the most traffic is shocking given the small space of land. We are a repressed people...
Wait a damn minute. How do they know the age brackets of the people who go there?
I second this.

They get anonymised data from google analytics.
