Previously top of the charts, the search for 'lesbian' content has been overtaken by searches for 'MILF' videos.

It wasn't just searches for 'milf' which saw an increase, with 'anal' increasing in rank by two and 'big a**' and 'Asian' films increasing by four places each.

Pornhub continues: "'Ebony' related searches dropped by eight positions, while 'gangbang' grew by three. This year 'British' searches come in 8th on the list."

UK viewers' tastes have gotten even more out there, with the trending search 'naked wrestling' seeing a 376 percent increase.

'Older women' videos also saw a significant increase of 295 percent.

"Visitors tend to watch the Lesbian category the most, but compared to the rest of the world, UK visitors are +524 percent more likely to watch the British category, +99 percent more into Indian and +69 percent more into Anal videos," Pornhub resolves.

However, the use of fetishising labels in porn has been condemned - even by performers within the industry themselves.

Dee Siren - an adult film star - told UNILAD: "A couple of years ago they made some big 'Big Beautiful Woman' (BBW) movies. But they’ll put BBW’s in a separate category. It's the same with race. It’s always been fetishised, the same with 'Big Black C**ks' (BBC), everything is always separated and labelled."

However, the former teacher doesn't believe it's the fault of the adult film industry that such labelling and fetishisation occurs, but of the consumers themselves and what they desire and subsequently search for.

She explained: "You try to get rid of the labels, but then someone says, 'Well, if I can't label you, I don’t even know how to look you up'. In my opinion no one should be labelled but it's super hard to get past the labels because that’s what society looks for.

"I don’t think it’s any different from everything else in society with labelling and hash-tagging everybody."
