Pornhub are back once again with the proof that they know all the things you like to look at when you think nobody else is looking.
Even if you think nobody knows what you're up to, Pornhub knows and they're taking notes to compile their annual round-up of data for everybody's preferred content to crank one out to.
They know what you're watching, how long you're watching for and what you're most likely to watch depending on your generation.

You might think that the generational divide lies elsewhere but the data doesn't lie and Pornhub has demonstrated where the real split between different age categories lies.
This year's titillating trends ranged from ethical porn to 'demure desires' (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean) but the things each generation preferred to more than others are incredibly intriguing.
Gen Z - 18 to 24
Right out of the gate I have to protest at Pornhub's decision on where to draw the boundary when it comes to Gen Z, since the eldest of that cohort are not that far off 30 these days.

Anyhow, the most popular thing Gen Z likes ahead of all other generations is something called 'vertical video', which is apparently video shot so you can view it in portrait mode.
Basically, it sounds like Gen Z likes porn that's tailor made to be watched on the phone.
They're also big fans of animated fare, with hentai, cartoons, and virtual reality being more to their tastes than other generations.
According to Pornhub, Gen Z actually rather likes some of the non-sex content as they also like the gaming, music and SFW (safe for work) categories more than everyone else.
Gen Y (Millennials) - 25 to 34
Advert
Again, nobody who is 25 should be allowed to call themselves a Millennial, but they're 69 (nice) percent more likely to seek out FMM porn, which is footage of a threesome with one lady and two gentlemen.
Apparently last year it was FFM that was all the rage.
While Gen Z likes their cartoons and videos made for watching on the phone, Millennials apparently enjoy a spot of 'parody' which might tickle their funny bone while they tickle a bone of another sort.
Pornhub says that 'parody' is a new entry on the list, so what could have caused that to become so popular?
The mind boggles.
Gen X - 35 to 54
Advert
As we move on up to older cohorts it seems weird that we've jumped from generations which span just a few years to a decade and now we're looking at 20 years of people.
They say nobody ever talks about Gen X, but Pornhub says they're big fans of 'compilation' porn and go for role play above all other age groups.
When it comes to body parts they particularly like this bunch are really into feet, so if Pornhub goes down they could always watch a Quentin Tarantino movie.
While Millennials can't make up their minds over whether they like FFM or FMM threesomes, good old Generation X seems to just like watching threesomes in general.
Boomers - 55+
Advert
While these young'uns in Gen Z are into this 'vertical video' or virtual reality malarkey, the old folks among us are far more likely to go for what Pornhub calls 'predictable tastes'.
Their stalwarts in this category are handjobs, BBW and bisexual males, but 'smoking' was this generation's porn of choice last year and this time around it's a close toss up between strap on, gangbang and double penetration.
As befits the older generation they also have an appreciation for vintage porn.
It seems the Boomers have more traditional habits when it comes to porn, while Gen Z are finding other things on Pornhub to occupy their time with.
