This 'Pornhub searches by age of user' chart makes for interesting reading

Tastes vary drastically according to age

Pornhubs prolific Insights blog fires out many reports of sociological interest, none more so than its latest on age, which lays bare different age groups' sexual proclivities.

Looking at the most popular searches among 18-24s, there are several familial terms including 'step mom', 'milf', 'mom' and 'step sister', a trend that seems to die out somewhat in users' 30s.

We then start to see 'massage' creep higher up the list as people approach middle age, start getting more aches and pains and find themselves day-dreaming on the massage table.

By 65, 'massage' becomes the top term, while 'granny' perhaps unsurprisingly also hits the top ten.

Perhaps more interesting is looking at how age groups' searches vary in regards to others (below).

With this filter applied, it's clear that Hentai is very much a thing only young people have heard of, along with the individual names of porn stars.

'Wife swap' and 'cuckold' arrive in 35-54, presumably as married people's eyes start to wander, along with a more vintage star, Jenna Jameson.

Quite adorably, the 55+'s are searching for 'nude', apparently having just discovered "this internet porn business", along with other more gentle terms like 'soft' and 'boobs'.
