Pornhub's top pre-Valentine's Day searches by state. Check out the map.
It's Valentine's Day, and what's more romantic than Pornhub? (Don't answer that.)
The ubiquitous tube site sent Mashable a map of the top relative searches across the U.S. in the week leading up to Love Day. The term is that searched more often in each state than in others.
In New York, searches wanted more "emotional" videos, and Wyoming was wholesome with "hugging." Contrast that with BDSM in Oregon and strap-on in Georgia.

You'll notice that many states are grayed out. Pornhub blocked 17 U.S. states (so far) due to age-verification laws, which are oftentimes requirements to submit ID to view websites with over a third of explicit content. The Supreme Court recently heard a case about age verification, but we'll have to wait a few months for the verdict.
For now, if Pornhub is blocked in your state, you won't know what terms make your fellow statespeople's hearts flutter, but you can use a VPN to access the site.
