US Search Demand for Adult Platforms: The July 2026 Heat Index

Key findings

1. 1. Tracked adult platforms draw 40.3 million US organic search visits a month. Across the 68 platforms in the index, total measured demand is 40,254,057 monthly US organic visits (July 2026 pull).
2. 2. AI adult platforms are now 10.7% of tracked demand — 4.3 million visits a month. AI sex chat platforms (3,517,533) plus AI porn generators (786,416) total 4,303,949 monthly visits. Two years ago this category barely existed.
3. 3. People want conversation, not images: AI chat out-draws AI generation 4.5 to 1. Character-based roleplay chat (JanitorAI, SpicyChat, CrushOn and peers, 3.5M combined) dwarfs image and video generation (786K combined). The companion is the product; the picture is a feature.
4. 4. JanitorAI now out-draws every cam site on the internet except Chaturbate. At 1.66M monthly search visits, JanitorAI pulls 38% more demand than Stripchat (1.21M) and is the 5th most-searched adult platform in the index overall — behind only Chaturbate and three legacy hentai sites. An AI roleplay chatbot has become a bigger search destination than almost the entire live-cam industry.
5. 5. Adult search is winner-take-all. The top 5 platforms account for 68.2% of all tracked demand; the top 10 account for 83.0%. Within cams, Chaturbate alone is 72.4% of the category.
6. 6. Legacy formats still dominate: hentai out-draws all AI adult platforms combined, 4 to 1. Hentai and manga sites total 17.3M monthly visits — the largest category in the index, ahead of cams (16.0M). The AI wave is fast, but it has not caught the incumbents.
7. 7. Star power is smaller than the tools. The 12 most-searched OnlyFans creators in the index combined (219,700/mo) draw about one-seventh of JanitorAI alone.

The picture

Pink bars are AI platforms; grey bars are legacy formats. One AI chatbot already sits at #5.

Methodology

Heat is Semrush-measured US organic search traffic per platform domain, pulled on the 1st of each month (this snapshot: 2026-07-01). It measures search demand reaching a platform, not total usage — direct traffic, apps, and paid acquisition are excluded by design, which is why this is a demand index rather than a size ranking. Platforms are included by editorial selection (documented on each category page); platforms with unresolvable domains are excluded from totals. The on-site Heat score shown on rankings is a log-scaled index of these raw figures; this report uses the raw visit counts. Full detail: methodology.
