Dear Uploaders,
We are constantly working on improving your user experience, so we’ve simplified that tagging process — you can now tag the videos while you’re categorizing them. Everything can now be done during the upload process.
Tags make your content more visible on xHamster , so let us know your thoughts — and if you’d like us to add any other features.
More to come!

In Solidarity with Iggy Azalea
Searches for pop star Iggy Azalea have spiked on xHamster in the past 24 hours, due to the leak of nude photos from a GQ photoshoot. While the photos have not yet appeared on xHamster, the site has said that it will vigilantly patrol user uploads to make sure that the photos do not appear on xHamster.
“While there’s nothing shameful about nudity, non-consensual photography or video is a violation of Iggy’s rights,” says Alex Hawkins, Vice President of xHamster. “As we have done in the past in similar cases, we will increase our patrol of Iggy and relevant keywords, and are asking our communit

Jada's Search Increased on xHamster
Jada Pinkett’s Porn Addiction Claims Causes Search Surge
Searches for Jada Pinkett-Smith surged in the past day, after the star revealed that she watched a lot of porn while single.
Pinkett-Smith told her daughter and mother that, before she met Will Smith, she watched A LOT of porn … even calling it addiction, before correcting herself.
Evidently, the thought of “Jada” and “Porn” triggered a lot of fantasies, because searches for Jada Pinkett-Smith nearly doubled in the past 24 hours, growing an astounding 426%.
“Perhaps users were searching for videos she commented on, or perhaps they we

d1f0c35f-ee90-4165-b811-9c2a2ebdf724
Much of the Muslim world is celebrating Ramadan, and in countries from Saudi Arabia to the Netherlands, traffic is dropping precipitously. The annual month-long observance includes a ban on masturbation — take that, #NoFappers — and last year we saw a decline of 9.3% worldwide, and 2% in the US. Someone bring Mia Khalifa back, PLEASE!
The biggest drops in 20 Muslim-majority countries, by percentage:
Algeria (-76.1%)

Egypt (-74.2%)

No Sex? Yes xHamster!
Alyssa Milano’s #SexStrike is having the opposite effect on xHamster these days!
Recently the activist and star took to Twitter to call for a sex strike to protest abortion laws.
Milano’s call has caused a dramatic rise in searches for on xHamster. Since her tweet, searches for Milano have increased 112% on our beloved platform.
“We saw it coming” said Alex Hawkins, VP of xHamster. “Sex strikes may hurt everyday men and women, but they sure benefit xHamster. And they’ve only increased Milano’s appeal on our website, now that men know they can’t have her. Her searches spiked immediately on

#MomsBeforeMILFs
Data shows that searches for the terms “MILF” and “Mom” have risen almost 20% in the US in the last year and that's why xHamster is launching #MomsBeforeMILFs.
We want to give our users a friendly reminder on this special day.
“This is just a hilarious way to connect with our users and surprise them when they least expect it,”, says Alex Hawkins, VP of xHamster. “It’s so contradictory for an adult site to promote this message on Mother’s Day, and we are sure our users will love it as much as we did.”

Is there nothing sacred to porn users? We looked at searches from xHamster users over the Easter holiday and found that, yes, Eggs, Bunnies, and even Easter itself skyrocket in the days leading up to the holiday. He has risen, indeed.
Perhaps the only thing more shocking? The number of videos our users have actually made using Easter eggs.
Below, searches for the three terms worldwide in the days leading up to Easter.

2019 xHamster Report on Digital Sexuality, Part 2
2019 xHamster Report on Digital Sexuality, Part 2: Religion
Are very religious people secretly kinkier than the rest of us? A casual look at searches from users in religious areas like Utah and Alabama *might* give us some insight — or then again it could just show the heathens. So, this spring, we set out to explore the question in our second release of data from the 2019 xHamster Report on Digital Sexuality.
Earlier this year, over a three day period, we asked 11,000 visitors to xHamster a series of questions about who they were, what they watched, and how they felt about it. We also asked them how they identified religiously.
The answers were more surprising than we had thought — religious users turn out to be some of the biggest spenders in porn, much of it on cams and VR. And, lucky for the porn industry, nearly 10% of our user base identifies as “very religious,” despite watching some very unholy videos!

She’s a Hustler, Baby!
Jennifer Lopez is stunning at 49 — this is of no doubt. She's never been a stranger to baring some skin, either. And all that work is paying off … hard.
After she debuted a recent Instagram post showing off her chiseled abs, xHamster fans can’t get enough of Jenny.
xHamster data team reports 67% increase since the recent drop of her bikini photo, perhaps fueled by threesome fantasies.
“Jennifer Lopez has always been one of our most searched for celebrities,” said Alex Hawkins, VP of xHamster. “At 49, you’d expect her to be moving into GILF territory, but she still looks as tight as ever. J

UK Facing a “Sexit” of Porn Users
The new age-verification regulations scheduled to take effect in April will lead to a “Sexit” of UK users, half of whom said they would not comply, and would instead choosing VPNs or other work-arounds to avoid entering personal data, according to our study of over 25K xHamster users in Britain.
xHamster is complying with the regulations, and will introduce its own age-verification methods upon the announced date.
We conducted our 2019 Age-Verification Compliance Study over the course of six days in March, asking UK visitors to the site whether they were aware of the regulations, whether they planned to comply, and which methods they would use to do so.
“We launched this survey to help us understand how our own visitors planned to react, and were shocked by the large number we saw who were not planning to comply, which is why we are releasing this report.” said Alex Hawkins, Vice President of xHamster. “We are eager to work with the BBFC to help them find ways to better encourage compliance with the regulations.”
Given the attention given to the regulations in the UK, the answers surprised our data team. Nearly half the users surveyed were not even aware of the existence of such regulations.
Only 16.1% described themselves as “very aware” of the regulations, with another 25.5% describing themselves as “somewhat aware.”

xHamster Report on Digital Sexuality, Part 1: Bisexuality
Does watching too much porn make you gay? No, but it might make you bi.
Earlier this month, xHamster launched an ambitious internal study — the xHamster Report on Digital Sexuality — compiling data on our porn users age, gender, sexuality, relationship status, political views, viewing habits and more, to try to understand just who watches what and why. Over 11,000 users completed this survey.
While we’re just beginning to process the data, one number jumped out at us immediately. Over 22.3% of all US-based xHamster visitors consider themselves bisexual. Only 67% consider themselves to be entirely “straight.”
At first, we thought there was something wrong with the numbers, or the study design. But as we dug deeper, we saw a consistency with their answers — from relationship status, to what porn they viewed, to where they lived — that supported the numbers.
