Here's What Gets Us Off Fastest

by Lea Rose Emery

If you're someone who watches a lot of porn, you probably have your favorites. Whether there are certain videos that work as old standbys or a specific genre of porn that you default to whenever you watch it, there's likely something that you go to when you just need to get off in a hurry. But are we all going for the same thing? Vice turned to Pornhub to find out just that: They asked what types of porn get us off the fastest. Pornhub was happy to supply the answers, so they took a look at the time we spend watching certain types of videos and narrowed it down from there.

Now, it's true that it can be difficult to figure out what's actually getting us off, compared to what we just watch (I mean, it's not like they know exactly when we finish) — but Pornhub accounted for this. According to Vice:

Best case scenario, it was so hot that the viewer got off right away and, having been satisfied, stopped watching. Worst case scenario, the video was so disgusting and bad that the viewer clicked away immediately. To separate the second category from our results, Pornhub cut out outliers — both either extremely short or extremely long viewing times.

So hopefully this gives a clear view of what's getting us off, rather than just what we're clicking on.

So what is getting us off fast? These were the quickest categories for men and women, according to Pornhub's analysis:

For Women:

1. Hand Job

This was a surprise to me; hand jobs are maybe my least favorite sexual act to perform, let alone watch for fun. But it came in at two minutes shorter than the average viewing time, so it's doing it for some ladies.

2. Solo Male

Another one that isn't for me, but there you go. I know many women search for lesbian or gay male porn, but maybe when it comes to getting off quick, something else does the job.

3. College

This one was not so shocking — college is always a popular porn category. Not only that, it also came at number four on the male list, so it's obviously doing the trick for a whole lot of us.

For Men:

1. Redhead

Bam. Redheads (and their videos) got men to finish over two minutes quicker than the average video. Something fiery is happening there, apparently.

2. Hentai

Despite the longer story lined involved in Hentai, it still managed to get men off 152 seconds faster than the average video.

3. Blonde

This was a close call, at just 150 seconds shorter than the average it was only a couple of seconds longer than Hentai. Interestingly, it was the second hair color in the male list— which was something didn't even factor in for females— so there seems to be a pretty strong divide in the themes of porn men and women like. Either way, blondes mean a lot of fun.
