It's that time of the year again, putting the important parts into review. Kicking it off Pornhub style. Billions of yearly visits with more breakdowns then you ever wanted to know or could shake a stick at on a per country level.

It seems only a brave editor is willing to promote this story, but as I think I was the guy who submitted the 2017 equivalent, which was both amusing and informative, I have no problem picking out some highlights. Some redactions have been necessary to keep SN SFW, obviously -- FP.
All that high definition video means a lot of data gets pumped out by Pornhub’s servers every day. In 2018, we transferred [redacted] Petabytes of data, which equates to [redacted] per second. That’s more bandwidth than the entire internet consumed in [redacted]!
When they’re not busy watching videos, Pornhub’s users enjoy socializing, with nearly [redacted] private messages sent and [redacted] video comments left. The most often used words in Pornhub comments include lots of feel good terms such as [redacted]. More than [redacted] people took the time to vote for their favorite videos, which incidentally is more people than [redacted].
Every minute, [redacted] new visitors arrive at Pornhub, [redacted] videos are watched and [redacted] searches are performed. [redacted] of those video views are of [redacted], which is still Pornhub’s most watched video of all time at [redacted] views.

"Straight" porn has cocks in it. Erm, why should I enjoy watching *someone else* pleasure a female? That's half way to cuckoldry.
Other viewpoints are available.
Oooh, I didn't intend that pun, but indeed, the popularity of "POV" porn is for those who wish to pretend it's not someone else getting their dick wet. Which kind of reinforces the view that non-POV porn is a bit cucky.

for "normal" people, porn is a fantasy. meaning you are supposed to be imagining that the wang of the actor is your wang (without even realizing it). not looking at the actor as some dude screwing someone and you're watching. though, after a certain amount of porn, this effect wears off, and there are just wangs everywhere. at this point you may find yourself watching more women with each other or by themselves, robots, power tools, bed posts, farm animals, aliens, demons, whatever.

Personally I have switched back to regular old naked women pics and let my imagination do more of the work. It is more satisfying though it requires a tiny bit more effort. Most video porn is unrealistic and completely lacking emotional depth. If you don't thI'm nk emotions are important for sex then best of luck with your future performance issues.
