Guys, it's here. The end-of-year roundup you were all waiting for: the Pornhub 2019 Year in Review.

Pornhub has released its 2019 review - and the annual rundown of the year's hottest grumble trends, terms and searches confirms that the world has a very, erm, varied approach to porn - from aliens and ASMR right through to Apex Legends.

Pornhub's 7th Year in Review tells us that it was another big year for the free porn site, with a whopping 42 billion visits to Pornhub and an average of 115 million visits per day.

And there's been plenty of content to cater to that relentless thirst, with more than 6.83 million new videos uploaded throughout the year - that's 1.36 million hours of new content, which is the equivalent of 169 years, meaning if you started watching back in 1850 you'd still be watching them today.

What about the top searches? Well, that's where things get all the more interesting*.

According to Pornhub, the searches that defined 2019 were Amateur, Alien, POV, Belle Delphine, Cosplay, Mature, Bisexual, Apex Legends, ASMR and Femdom.

On the popularity of amateur porn, Dr. Laurie Betito of the Sexual Wellness Center said: "It seems that people are looking for more realistic depictions of sex. 'Real' people vs. actors seems to be the draw.

"It's interesting that more and more people are putting themselves out there as amateurs.

"Sex has become so much less taboo that those who get a kick out of exhibitionism can do so with very little experience or equipment. The message is: anyone can be a porn star!"

Well, isn't that a nice little inspirational note to end 2019 on? Thanks, Pornhub.

The most searched-for terms, meanwhile, were Japanese, Hentai, Lesbian, Milf, Korean, Asian, Step mom, Massage, Anal, Ebony, Big Ass, Teen, Threesome, Anime, Public, Creampie, Big Tits, Chinese, Gang bang, Latina, Cartoon, Indian, BBC, Joi and Squirt.

People are lasting longer this year, too, as 2019 saw Pornhub's average visit duration grow by 15 seconds to 10 minutes and 28 seconds. Way to go, everyone!

Once again, the United States continues to be the country with the highest daily traffic to Pornhub, followed by Japan - which jumped up two positions in the past year - and the United Kingdom.

Thailand has also joined the gang as a new addition to the top 20 countries, having leapt up six positions from 2018.

What about popular culture? Surely films, TV shows and games has an effect on search terms and trends? You are absolutely right, my friend.

There was a 3345 percent increase in Joker searches following the launch of the Joker movie earlier this year (more on that here), while Star Wars searches on 4 May - or May the Fourth, as you may like to refer to it.

While Overwatch was the most searched-for video game, with an eight percent increase over the previous year, Fortnite was still one of this year's biggest, although its popularity decreased by 17 percent this year.

However, Pornhub is more excited about Apex Legends, a newcomer for 2018 that's 'remained a popular search throughout the year' after launching in February.

Celebrity searches are still popular, with Belle Delphine topping the list after announcing she'd be releasing videos on her very own Pornhub channel.

Similarly, former Boy Meets World star Maitland Ward saw her searches grow 3346 percent on 4 October, when it was revealed that she would now be appearing in adult videos.

Pornhub said: "As long as visitors keep coming, performers keep joining, and the world keeps turning, Pornhub will do it's best to bring you another Year in Review in 2020."
