According to PornHub, straight guys and barebacking are the most popular gay porn categories in many U.S. states. This data, released during Pride Month, highlights the diverse preferences across the country. From the Midwest’s love for relatable straight guys to the West Coast’s interest in barebacking, and the South’s affinity for Black porn actors, the findings provide a fascinating look into regional viewing habits.
Straight guys and barebacking are the top gay porn categories in many U.S. states, according to PornHub’s research. Released during Pride Month in collaboration with pride.com, this data highlights the most-viewed categories and viewing habits based on global searches.
In Europe, twink porn may dominate, but in North America, barebacking and straight guys lead the charts. In the Midwest, states like Wisconsin and Iowa prefer the relatable straight guy category, while the Pacific West coast favors bareback porn. The Deep South and Atlantic coast show a preference for Black porn actors.
Twink porn remains popular in Alaska, Maryland, Kansas, and both Dakotas. Minnesota’s top search is “farm-hand,” fitting its outdoorsy theme, while Wyoming often searches for “vintage cowboys.”
New Yorkers love “muscle bottoms,” and in New Jersey, “country boys” are a hit. Missouri and Kentucky favor “muscle man” and “gay cruising,” embodying American traditions.
Southern states like Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana, despite prevalent anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments, have “feet worship,” “older men,” and “real military” as their top searches, respectively.
Maine ranks as the gayest state, with 28% of its population more likely to search for gay porn. Kentucky, Delaware, and South Carolina follow closely behind.
Interestingly, men only make up 57% of gay porn viewers. Baby Boomers and Gen X are more likely to watch than Millennials and Gen Z.
Top categories and preferences aren’t available in some conservative and religious states like Utah, Arkansas, Montana, Mississippi, Virginia, North Carolina, and Texas due to age verification laws. After Texas enforced age verification, searches for “VPN access” surged in the state.

One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam
At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code.
Why This Matters Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours.
Automatic Implementation Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically:
· Blurs the website’s adult content · Camera access management · Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation · Instant verification results
Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again.
For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser.
Compliance Without the Complexity By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.
