Girls are getting it on, taxi drivers are composing slow jams for the ages, and everything's coming up Justin Timberlake—throw in the spring weather that is starting to creep in, and things are really taking a turn for the sexy. Sexy search site PornMD has compiled a list of the most-searched terms for the last six months around the world, which means you can finally find out what kinds of porn your fellow New Yorkers prefer without needing to take a terrifying peek into their browser history.
The NY list is pretty basic—you have your "college," your "amateur," your "MILF" and "teen." We're a little surprised that "straight (gay)" made it and not "lesbian," but we have to admit to being completely ignorant about who Lisa Ann was up until about 20 minutes ago or so. Does she have a NY chapter to her fanbase or something? She did play Serra Paylin in the cinematic classic Who's Nailin' Paylin? And she does appreciate Seinfeld...albeit the finale.
You can click through their survey to check out other states (Floridians love "creampie," Californians love "asian"), the US on the whole ("milf" is #1, "anal" is #10), and other countries around the world. Now, we don't want to judge anyone, but there are some seriously disturbing (and plain weird) search trends in certain places: people in South Korea search for "shitting" and "mother," people in India search for "rape," people in Nigeria search for "things I jack off to"...and then there's Iceland.
