Pornhub Reveals The Most Popular Porn Stars of the '70s, '80s and '90s
Our obsession with the past can often guide our desires in the present. We see it in our throwback Instagram filters, vintage fashion trends, and, most recently, the 1970's porn drama, The Deuce, which officially premiered last night on HBO. The show focuses on New York's budding porn industry during the decade, and, as exclusive data from Pornhub reveals, there is a significant number of people who are drawn to those days of grainier adult entertainment.
The site's latest Insights post sheds light on "vintage" porn consumption from the site's users, revealing exactly what it is that people want when they decide to boot up some old-school porn from past decades like the '70s, '80s, and '90s. Rather unsurprisingly, the research shows that the site's older demographics are responsible for the brunt of the "vintage" searches. The popularity of this category only increases as the age range does, starting with those between the ages of 45 and 54, and hitting a peak with those above 65 years old. In all, the site says, the "vintage" viewership is comprised of about 80 million daily users, even though the term ranks just 57th in their most popular searches.
For once, the '90s isn't the decade that people are hoping to revisit the most. Pornhub's data showed that people are looking for '80s porn more than the films made in the '90s or '70s. "German vintage," "Italian vintage," and "vintage taboo" were all prominent search terms, as well. Finally, the data also revealed the stars people want to see on-camera. Topping the list are names like Nina Hartley, Kay Parker, Peter North, Blake Mitchell, and none other than Ron Jeremy.
