Gay Men’s Biggest Fantasies of 2025 — 100,000+ Data Points from Squirt

Every year, Squirt.org releases Squirt Unloaded, a massive data study that’s become something of a bellwether for queer adult behavior online. This year’s edition pulls from more than 100,000+ data points, and the topline story is simple: gay and bi men’s sexual fantasies and pop culture interests are evolving fast — and the adult industry is evolving with them.

“This year’s dataset reveals a market that’s becoming more sophisticated and more expressive,” said Mitchell Cheeseman, Senior Manager, Brand & Marketing Communications at Squirt.org. “From the surge in group play to the renewed dominance of oral as a top fantasy, gay and bi men are gravitating toward experiences that blend intensity with intimacy. These insights offer a meaningful advantage — a deeper understanding of what audiences will seek out, purchase, and engage with in the year ahead.”

A few trends to keep an eye on:

• Cities worldwide showed sharply defined sexual identities, including:

Sydney as the global city with the most Tops

Los Angeles as the city with the most Bottoms

New York City as the world’s Vers capital

Chicago as the #1 cruising city in the U.S.

Toronto leading cruising activity in Canada

Spain ranking as the #1 cruising country overall

• Daddy dominance continues — Daddies are the #1 “type” globally, outperforming bears, twinks, muscle bros, and even the fast-rising “gaymers.”

• Group play is officially the most popular kink of 2025, overtaking BDSM, roleplay, leather, and exhibitionism.

• Oral reclaimed #1 as the world’s favorite form of foreplay, with rimming and massage climbing.

• Bareback, orgy, and dom/sub are the top-watched porn categories, beating out amateur and public.

• Lady Gaga reigns supreme as gay men’s favorite musical artist.

• Mondays are the busiest cruising day worldwide (and by a wide margin).
