The figures come from Pornhub Insight's 2014 Year in Review report.

The site saw 78.9 billion video views over the past 12 months, up from 63.2 billion in 2013. 

Phones equated for 45 per cent of these views, the desktop was on 44 per cent, with tablets on 11 per cent. This is a 20 per cent increase for tablets.

This works out at 18.35 individual member visits to the site over the course of a year, translating to about 5,800 visits per second.
