As we eagerly anticipate the release of Pornhub’s annual data in the coming weeks, a new report has surfaced, highlighting six emerging sex trends gaining traction.
December marks the arrival of the festive season, but it’s also when numerous industries publish their ‘year in review’ reports. This week, alongside Spotify Wrapped, a more risqué report was unveiled.
This annual insight is provided by Ersties, a female-led porn company, outlining six trends that are set to dominate porn viewing in 2025.
Ersties, based in Germany, has observed that more people are exploring niche topics in online porn searches. The company reports a ‘noticeable rise in searches for more niche, playful, and specific interests.’
So, what are the trends reshaping the porn industry in 2025?
Ersties, known for promoting itself as an ‘ethical’ porn platform, has identified an increased interest in feet-related content.
Additionally, pegging, ‘pee-play,’ armpit licking, and sweaty armpits have gained popularity, diverging from traditional bedroom activities. There is also a growing demand for tights and stockings content.
“As more people feel comfortable looking up exactly what they like, Ersties continues to be a space where those curiosities can be explored without judgement and with plenty of transparency,” states the company.
Experts have issued a warning about ‘pee-play,’ particularly concerning sexual activities with a full bladder.
This trend, known as omorashi, involves engaging in sexual activities while having a full bladder, often at a dominant partner’s request.
Sex educator Gigi Engle explained to Metro: “It’s a form of bladder control where one person is keeping their bladder full, usually at the demand of a dominant partner. For some people, having a full bladder means they may experience more squirting or more intense orgasms because of the way the bladder being engorged can push against the vaginal and clitoral complex.”
Ersties’ 2025 Ethical Porn Trends Report also delved into other aspects of user behavior, such as the most common days for self-pleasure.
The report indicates that Sundays and Mondays are peak traffic days, with the busiest global viewing period occurring between 9 pm and midnight.
