LOS ANGELES—xHamster has released its annual list of top Halloween searches, from most-searched for ghouls to most popular fantasy costumes.
“Every Halloween, I'm both thrilled and appalled by the diverse sexualities of our users,” said Alex Hawkins, vice president of xHamster. “I don't know the people who are searching porn sites for ghosts, Pennywise or the haunted horror doll Annabelle, but human sexuality is surely as wonderful and spooky as anything a witch could cook up in her cauldron. Let's use this holiday to celebrate our willingness to try on new personas, to break down gender and class roles, and imagine a world without judgment. After all, that's what porn does on the daily!”
While “Joker” proved to be a strong new entrant into the contest, “Tarzan” and “Nurse” were xHamster's most searched for roles for men and women—and xHamster's recommended costumes for 2019. “Monster” and “Vampire” took the No. 1 and No. 2 spots for sexiest horror figures.
