Brazil’s Golden Showers

Believe it or not, this is the second time that a country’s President has prompted the Pornhub Insights team to take a closer look at Golden Shower searches.

This time around, it was Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro who asked “O que é golden shower?” while sharing footage of a man urinating on another during Brazil’s annual street festival.

To appropriately answer their President’s question, dutiful Brazilians headed to Pornhub, where ‘golden shower’ searches increased by 688% on March 6th and 1896% on March 7th.

As word of the gaffe made it’s way around the internet, our statisticians also found a 98% increase in worldwide ‘golden shower’ searches on March 6th and 173% on March 7th.

Apex Legends Searches

If you’ve read our 2018 Year in Review, you already know that Fortnite was one of the year’s top searches on Pornhub. In 2019, Fortnite continues to be our top game related search with a daily average of 151,000.

But Fortnite may have some new competition from Apex Legends, which launched February 4th with no prior announcement or marketing. Inverse asked the Insights team if the new game has had any effect on Pornhub’s searches.

On February 6th we found just 800 searches for Apex Legends. A week later searches exceeded 10,000 per day and by February 18th our statisticians recorded a peak of 357,701 searches on a single day, more than double that of Fortnite.

In the days since, Apex Legends searches have settled to around 100,000 per day, but combined they have gone from zero to 2.27 million searches in 22 days.

The most popular Apex Legends related searches include “Apex Legends porn”, “Apex Legends hentai (NSFW)” and “Apex legends Wraith”.
