A new study suggests that women in Australia enjoy watching adult videos, as they rank fifth in the world in terms of time spent on a porn web site.

Australian women clock in 11 minutes and four seconds, higher than the global average of 10 minutes and 33 seconds, according to a report by video sharing site Pornhub and Bustle. Women in the Philippines top the list, spending 14 minutes and 20 seconds on each visit. Closely following suit are females from the US, South Africa and New Zealand, who also go beyond the 11-minute mark. Women in Ukraine on the other hand, spend the shortest time on Pornhub, clocking in almost seven minutes.

Apart from lingering on a porn site, Australian women are also found to favour the “lesbian” category, compared to the others. “Lesbian” also dominated in terms of categories searched by women in North, Central and South America, as well as in Europe.

When compared to the rest of the world, women in Australia searched for “Asian” 76 per cent more often. Its neighboring countries in Asia, such as Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, enjoy “hentai” videos compared to the others.

The study of women’s porn viewing habits takes its cue from Pornhub’s 2015 Year in Review. In that report, Pornhub found that 24 per cent of its viewers worldwide are women. The site reports that it has 60 million visitors each day.

Pornhub’s 2015 Year in Review also stated that Australians – both men and women – watch porn while they are mobile, with 56 per cent of visitors to the site using a phone. Desktop is also a popular device, used by 29 per cent of Pornhub viewers, while 15 percent watch videos on a tablet.

The average viewing time for an Australian visitor to PornHub is 9 minutes and 36 seconds, and “lesbian, step mom and step sister” are among the most searched phrases in the country.
