This is how your age determines the type of porn you watch

This is how your age determines the type of porn you watch

If age brings you wisdom, it also significantly alters your pornographic preferences. That's according to data from Pornhub, which analysed its users' viewing habits and discovered that the older people get, the more they search for porn featuring "older talent".

To do this, the company divided their users into distinct age groups and looked at how their search preferences differed.

They found users aged between 18-34 are 60 per cent more likely to search for the word 'teen'. Users aged 55 and over have strikingly different tastes. They are much less likely to search for pornstars by name but are 2,147 per cent more likely to search for the term 'very, very old granny', 1,852 per cent more likely to search for the term 'hairy pussy' and 813 per cent more likely to search for the term 'granny'.

Users who aged between 35-54, meanwhile, are 475 per cent more likely to search for the term 'amateur wife sharing' and are also more likely to search for other swinging and wife sharing related terms.

While the average age of a Pornhub user is 35.3 years old, the average age of British users is 34.8 with only five per cent of UK users over 65. And as you may be able to tell from the searches, the majority of the site's users (77 per cent) are male.

While searches do change with age, the top categories identified across six distinct age groups by the company suggest some tastes do not, with 'teen' being the most popular for all users apart from those over 65.
