The fervor over Heated Rivalry may be over (until Season 2, at least), and so is the discourse about why women love it so much. But, for Pride Month, Pornhub might be reviving it, just a little.

It's no secret that some women think sex scenes between two men are hot, and now Pornhub shares in its Pride Insights 2026 blog that women make up almost exactly half (49.7 percent) of the viewership of gay porn on the site, compared to 50.3 percent of men.

The female proportion of gay porn viewership has grown in recent years, from 43 percent in 2024 to 47 percent in 2025, to nearly 50 percent now. Could it be because of "the cottage"? Maybe; Pornhub didn't offer up any explanation.

In 2024, Pornhub revealed that women account for 38 percent of worldwide viewership, proving that it's not just men who watch porn.

Now, Pornhub has also broken down gay porn viewership by age group, with people 65 and older only taking up nine percent of total viewers — but they're 26.3 percent more likely to engage with gay porn compared to other age groups.

18 to 24 year olds, meanwhile, make up the majority of gay porn viewership at 31 percent. Young adults are also the biggest fans of cartoon gay porn, as it's 267 percent more popular with them compared to other age groups.

Meanwhile, vintage porn and twink porn are 29 percent and 24 percent more popular with the 65 and older crowd, respectively.

Twink is universally popular on Pornhub, as it's the second most-searched gay term during Pride Month. The first? "Femboy" (a feminine man), which was also one of the most-searched terms on Pornhub's straight site in 2025.

Lesbian content is pretty popular on the tube site, too, so much so that last month, it launched a WLW-dedicated site called Pornhub Sapphic.
