When it comes to people’s private viewing habit there is a generally, widely accepted, view.
If anyone finds out your own search habits, burn the internet to the ground, and if it’s possible to find out about other people’s search habits, run as fast as you can because we all want to know.
This became possible when the Spotify Wrapped for pervs was revealed in the Pornhub yearly review.

This year’s reviews has already been released, including what categories reigned supreme this year, which had somewhat of an impact on what people were searching - and that's video games characters, in case you were wondering.
But it wasn't just the realm of games that people were looking to get their rocks off to, but also movie characters, too.
Variety is the spice of life, after all.
Top of the list was Harley Quinn, and while the naïve hope may remain that it was confused poor souls were looking for the new Joker film, in all likelihood that is probably not quite correct - or though if it was, then I'm not sure Pornhub would be the place to find it.
Second up was Star Wars, as people clearly are looking far far away from their own galaxy to fantasise about the likes of Jar-Jar Binks and Jabba the Hutt when pleasuring themselves.
Rounding out the top three was Game of Thrones, which might come as a surprise to some given the amount of sex already present in GOT.
Filling out the rest of the list of movie characters people have been fiddling themselves to, the blue beauties of Avatar come next, followed by Harry Potter and Wonder Woman.
The next entry, The Incredibles, started a full-on argument here in LADbible, with some finding it perfectly understandable and others failing to see the appeal of a cartoon character.
One journalist, who asked to remain anonymous, even referred to Elastigirl as ‘thicker than a bowl of Oatmeal’.
Regardless, as weird as some of us may find it, it is apparently more normal than you'd think to be stroking your turkey to made up characters as opposed to real life people.
Jessica Toscano, a professional sexologist, spoke to The Daily Mail about how common it is for people to have ‘fantasies’ to figure out what does it for them.
She said: “Fantasy and kinks really go hand-in-hand, as kinks are essentially playing out fantasies. Exploring kinks usually allows for more intimacy and pleasure in a safe, communicative, consensual environment.
“Ultimately, kinks are healthy to explore and can improve your relationship with your partner as long as communication and consent are top priorities”.
Further, if you’re specifically weirded out by cartoons being so high on the list, it’s again – more normal than you’d think.
In a book titled Sexual Perversions and Paraphilias: An A to Z, Dr Mark Griffiths, a professor of behavioural addiction, discussed what he referred to as ‘toonophilia’, the sexual fetish for cartoons.
He also said (via The Daily Mail) that even though to the unknowing person that would assume it's only cartoon characters, it also extends to a wider universe, something he calls 'ficto-philia'.
He adds that some have even gone so far to call for 'relationships and marriages between humans and cartoon characters to be made legal'.
