When I woke up early the next morning, he had already gone upstairs, but every piece of his clothing was still strewn out all over the floor. Finally we passed out on a blanket on the floor. He tried to go for more, but he was too drunk to find any lube. We only fooled around – mainly oral with him being the receiver. I don’t remember if any words were exchanged, but it was definitely on from that point. He pulled down his pants and exposed his already aroused member. He opened his eyes, sat up, looked around the room, and then stared at me for about 10 seconds. I got down on the floor beside him, started shaking him, telling him to wake up, and giving him a hard time about passing out on the floor. Before long we found ourselves pretty hammered.Īt one point I remember coming into the room and finding him lying on his back on the floor with his eyes closed. We are both partial to whiskey, and man was it going down easy that night. His girlfriend went upstairs to bed, and he and I stayed downstairs and continued drinking. Eventually everyone left except for me, him, and his girlfriend. Everything went great at first, and we all were having a good time.

What types of pornography do people use and do they cluster? Assessing types and categories of pornography consumption in a large-scale online sample. To learn more about this research, see: Hald, G.

This suggests that we might want to be cautious about drawing too many conclusions from any one study or analysis of porn-viewing habits. For example, neither threesome nor oral sex were among the five most-searched terms or most-viewed categories on Pornhub last year. This study is limited in that it only considered 27 different types of porn-clearly, there are more kinds out there than this! However, these results offer insight into what people are watching in porn outside of big data analyses-and it’s worth noting that there are several differences. At the same time, however, you clearly have many people who are looking for porn featuring supranormal breasts and genitals. Another big category that appeared, at least for men, was amateur.Īmateur porn tends to portray people with more realistic bodies than professionally-produced porn, which tells us that you have many people who are looking for porn that’s actually based in reality. In other words, it was rare for people to have never had fantasies about these things.Īs for the other categories that emerged, we saw several other references to group sex (e.g., gangbangs, orgies), as well as an emphasis on anal sex and large breasts and penises. This shouldn’t be surprising when you look at the data I collected on sexual fantasies for my book Tell Me What You Want-I surveyed more than 4,000 Americans about their fantasies and found that threesomes and oral sex were ubiquitous. One of the things that stands out here is that two categories made the top five for each gender and sexual orientation group: threesomes and oral sex. The most-watched porn genres were as follows:Ĥ.) Gangbang (one woman and three or more men)ĥ.) Orgy (with at least two persons of each gender)
Note that all participants in this study reported having viewed porn multiple times in the past year. Participants were given a list of 27 different porn categories and they were asked to rate how often they view each one. It explores what men and women-both heterosexual and non-heterosexual-look at when they view porn.įor this study, researchers surveyed 2,227 adults aged 18-40, of whom two-thirds identified as heterosexual the remaining one-third identified as gay or bisexual. So what happens when-instead of looking at big data-researchers survey people about which types of porn they watch most often? That’s the subject of a recent study published in the Journal of Sex Research. While big data insights from major porn websites are certainly interesting and informative in their own right, they are limited in several ways, not the least of which is that we don’t necessarily know how the people who visit those sites are similar to or different from the rest of the population. There are lots of articles out there describing the most-viewed porn categories on Pornhub and other popular adult sites-however, that’s not what this article is.
