In 2020, estimates suggested there were nearly 30 million pornography websites, comprising about 12% of all websites on the Internet.
In 2022, the total amount of pornographic content accessible online was estimated to be over 10,000 terabytes.

The four most accessed pornography websites are Pornhub, xHamster, XVideos, and XNXX.

As of 2025, a single company, Aylo, owns and operates most of the popular online streaming pornography websites, including:
Pornhub, RedTube, Tube8, and YouPorn, as well as pornographic film studios like: Brazzers, Digital Playground, Reality Kings, and Sean Cody among others.

Some have alleged that the company Aylo is a monopoly.

It does not own websites like xHamster, XVideos, and XNXX.
