Key stats (2025)
Pornhub’s 2025 Year in Review is frequently referenced in trend coverage because it summarizes large-scale viewing and search behavior on the platform. In 2025 recaps, ‘Lesbian’ is reported as the most-viewed category, while LGBTQ-related queries also show strong year-over-year growth (for example, ‘queer’ searches are reported at +132%).
To make these numbers easier to cite, each takeaway on this page follows a consistent format: one claim, one metric, and one source URL. This reduces friction for writers who want to quote a single stat with a clean reference.
Use the ‘Sources’ section at the bottom when citing the original report, and prefer the primary source when available.
What changed vs 2024
Trend articles highlight that ‘Lesbian’ moved up in the platform’s category ranking versus the previous year, suggesting sustained interest rather than a short-lived spike. At the same time, coverage of the report emphasizes a broader increase in LGBTQ-related searches, including ‘queer’ (+132%) and ‘bisexual’ (+88%).
Because some outlets summarize only selected charts from the Year in Review, different articles may focus on different sub-trends; this page keeps the source links next to each claim so the reader can validate the context.
If you later add 2024 vs 2025 comparisons, include only metrics that you can show for both years on a single table (with sources), otherwise it becomes opinion rather than research.
Why these stats matter (and limits)
These statistics help describe demand and how it shifts over time, but they don’t measure content quality, safety, or ethics. For recommendations and reviews, use the related category and review pages linked below.
Limits: platform reports reflect the platform’s taxonomy and user base, so results may not generalize to the entire internet; category labels and reporting methods can also change year to year.
To keep this page useful as a reference, update it when new reports come out and keep a visible ‘Last updated’ date, so citations stay accurate.
