Pornhub is pulling back the covers on America’s X-rated viewing habits, unveiling the website’s most popular searches for 2022.

The company released the dirty data on Tuesday, revealing that “lesbian” was the most-searched term across the frisky 50 states, with “hentai” — a type of Japanese anime — following close behind.

Meanwhile, the words “blowjob,” “cosplay” and “trans” also saw considerable search growth in 2022, while “transgender” exploded in popularity to become America’s fourth-most-viewed category overall.

According to Pornhub, the kinky category saw a 75% increase in viewers, with the company stating that its top searches are “often influenced by pop culture and other worldwide events.”

“Many [search] terms define 2022 not just on Pornhub but in mainstream media as well,” it declared.
