Pornhub's U.S. Valentine's Day map is extremely telling
Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and if you're not frantically googling gift ideas, you might be searching for your explicit category of choice on Pornhub.
The top relative searches across the U.S. are here, just in time for Love Day, and they show what each state searches for more than the rest.
Off the bat, you can see that many of the states are greyed out. That's because Pornhub blocked many U.S. states with age-verification laws, or requirements for viewers to submit personal data in order to access adult content.

But for the states that remain, the results are telling. In New York, for instance, the mood is romantic with "intimate" — but over in Maine, they're really into cuckolding porn. New Mexico is also wholesome with "hugging," while Washington is into pegging, apparently.
Vermont and Pennsylvania have more chaste searches (passionate and respectful, respectively), and Hawaii wants to watch couples. Illinois is content with softcore, too. As you go around the map, though, you'll see more...NSFW choices.
Whether the site will have more hits tomorrow is anyone's guess — but it wouldn't be surprising to see both singles and couples partake.
