The Appeal Of The MILF

In the book A Billion Wicked Thoughts, neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam analyzed the contents of over a billion searches on some of the most popular porn sites. Among their many fascinating findings was that the most popular search term on Pornhub (one of the most heavily visited tube sites in the entire world) was “mom.” That’s right. Mom.

Believe it or not, MILFs are among the most sought after women in all of porn today. So how do we explain the appeal of the MILF? That’s the question I sought to answer in my latest article for Playboy. Check out the full article here to learn more about the psychology behind heterosexual men’s attraction to hot moms.
