The press release by the adult site said: "The 18-24 age group made up the biggest portion of traffic, with 27% of all traffic falling into that category. Following closely behind was the 25-34 age group, which accounted for 24% of all traffic.

"Together, the 18 to 35 group makes up over half of Pornhub’s visitors, even after giving up -2 percentage points in 2024 to the over 35 crowd."

But, as of next year, there will be 13 states across the US that will no longer be part of these figures are Pornhub is being banned.

Florida was the most recent state to announce its intention of banning the website. On December 18, the Florida Legislature passed HB 3 - a law that will require age verification for anyone trying to access pornographic sites. It will come into force on January 1.

As well as anonymous and standard age verification be put in place on adult sites, the law will see the state Department of Legal Affairs fine websites as much as $50,000 if they fail to comply with the new regulations.

Speaking about Florida's intentions of banning Pornhub in the state, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said earlier this year when the bill was first signed into law: "You can have a kid in the house safe, seemingly, and then you have predators that can get right in there into your own home.

"You could be doing everything right but they know how to get and manipulate these different platforms."

Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, has since released a statement. It read, as per PEOPLE: "Any regulations that require hundreds of thousands of adult sites to collect significant amounts of highly sensitive personal information is putting user safety in jeopardy.

"Moreover, as experience has demonstrated, unless properly enforced, users will simply access non-compliant sites or find other methods of evading these laws."

While Florida residents have until New Years Day to access the adult site, other states have already banned Pornhub - these states being:

• Kentucky
