First off, when it comes to people's preferences on trans porn, twilight and so on. No, there's no reason why they should feel ashamed for liking that content/people. They shouldn't face the kinds of backlashes they might face for it because we human beings should be more accepting.
With that said, oh boy are there so many issues with this. The first and pun intended the largest. That men in general search for dicks. As a straight man on this site. I've heard that one before. And heres the thing. Data can be misguided. Leading to it being incorrect. They say the search terms were for dicks more than anything else and i have to ask. Could that be for other reasons? If so shouldn't we be searching for more answers there before we then build theories around it?
Trends. They exist. The lgbtq community is still considered less than heterosexuals. There are also all kinds of different porn sites. One that comes to mind specifically because of this thread is pornhub. And the reason why it comes to mind is the fact that they've just released statistics on people's porn habits all over the world within their site. Now, if dicks were as searched for as the video said then we should of course find correlation between what was said and pornhub's totals.
Problem is. We don't.
The 2019 Year in Review – Pornhub Insights
The number one most searched for term is...amateur. Followed by alien, pov, belle delphine, cosplay, mature, bisexual, apex legends, asmr and then femdom. Where's the beef? This was only recorded searches for one year mind you but that's the entire top list. Where's the dicks? Where's the penis? Where's the cock?
Oh. I'm sorry. My mistake those weren't the top searches. These were.
Japanese, hentai, lesbian, milf, korean, asian, step mom, massage, anal, ebony, big ass, teen, threesome, anime, public, creampie, big tits, chinese, gangbang, latina, cartoon, indian and finally...FINALLY bbc.
And here's something the video didn't even try to address. Pornstars. People searched pornstars specifically.
The top three for women were lana rhoades, mia khalifa and riley reid. While for male pornstars the top three were jordi el nino polla, alex adams and owen gray.
Again. This is only one site but you'd think based on the what the video said that there would be some correlation there. There isn't.
Now. The most viewed categories. Japanese, lesbian, amateur, hentai, milf, ebony, anal, mature, threesome, big tits, popular with women, and finally...FINALLY big dick.
And just because. Lets look at the most searched for terms on pornhub gay. Korean, japanese, black, daddy, straight, asian, twink, massage, hentai, cartoon, gangbang, femboy and again...finally...FINALLY...bbc.
It's not until we get to the most viewed gay categories do we find a difference in where dicks of any kind are placed. Starting first as the most viewed category of....straight guys. Then working our way backwards it's daddy, bareback, black and then big dick.
When we get to age groups search terms spelling out dicks only account for age groups 55-64.
So here's what i'm wondering. How can the data be so skewed away from what was said in the video? Could it be that their methods were a little off? A bit skewed? Keep in mind i'm only paying attention to the video and not their book.
Could it be that the majority of people don't in fact focus solely on dicks when they're searching for porn? And leveling a good portion of one's argument on that isn't a good idea? I know, as a straight male, i've never in my life searched for dicks of any kind for the express purpose of seeing said dicks. I have though in the past typed in big dicks for the express purpose of seeing women's reactions to them because i was under the impression at the time that they received more pleasure from big or bigger dicks.
And once realizing that very little of porn is real stopped doing so entirely. And as the totals from pornhub would suggest started searching for more realistic porn in the form of amatuer stuff.
Now i could be wrong here but shouldn't something that was so important to their overall point be very easily correlated with other porn sites?
Also, trends. Isn't it a fact that the lgbtq community in general is very very very slowly becoming more and more acceptable by businesses and social groups? Could that be influencing search terms? As in the more acceptable it is to be of the lgbtq community the more relaxed people in the lgbtq community will feel with searching porn sites? While being a part of the lgbtq community is still not considered to be equal to being a part of the heterosexual community. Leading to more members of the lgbtq community to turn to porn rather than real life experiences out of the still present fear of being isolated? Meaning more searches on sites for lgbtq community related content?
When they divided up the data from these 40 different sites. Were there any attention paid to which way each site leans? If you were to take a survey of lpsg regarding how acceptable the lgbtq community is in general would the outcome be exchangeable with sites who have primarily heterosexual posters?
Even on the basis of the terms used. Isn't there a difference between a sexual cue and sexual inspiration? Isn't a cue just a marker for a reaction? And not an explanation of a persons entire sexual makeup?
Does a guy typing in big dick into a porn site automatically mean he isn't in fact straight? Or could it be that he did so for other reasons that still align with him in fact being straight?
Yeah.
