And do you know what kind of porn Malayalis love to watch?
Information from data that Pornhub, the largest porn website in terms of content and audience, shared with Onmanorama, also shows that Malayali porn aficionados seem to have some eclectic tastes. The top terms they search for are Indian, Indian wife, Indian bhabhi, Indian College, Indian Aunty, Desi, Indian teen, Indian Bhabhi Devar, Mom and Indian actress. Take note, no Kerala aunty or Mallu aunty!
Chris Jackson of Pornhub's communication team told us that 29 percent of the website's porn consumers from Kerala are women, and that Keralites spend an average of 8 minutes and 32 seconds on each visit to the site. This is a full 12 seconds more than the national average of 8 minute and 20 seconds.
And this gets even more interesting. Pornhub says that about 3 percent of its viewers in Kerala are above 65. After all, age is only a state of mind ;)
Every January, Pornhub releases a review of its traffic for the previous year. This year too, the website listed out statistics on India's porn viewership and almost all the news websites carried the data earlier this month. As expected, India, where even talking of sex is still considered taboo, featured among the top 10 countries in the quantity of porn consumption.
Three is not a crowd!
Pornhub also said that their website visitors from Kerala were more interested in watching threesome videos, compared to the rest of India.
