If New Yorkers are known for anything, it's our intensity.

The adult site's annual Year in Review has shown exactly what types of racy content have been getting people off over the past 12 months, and it seems the world can't get enough of trans people between the sheets - which is sadly ironic, considering the growing anti-trans rhetoric being witnessed across the world right now.
Tyler Wu takes the top spot as the most watched PornhubGay performer for the first time ever, up one spot from last year.

Interestingly, Tyler Wu is the top porn star searched by women compared to by men, with a 915 per cent difference between the number of women who watch him and men who do.
