Year-end reflections are upon us, but instead of journaling about your goals, Grindr has data from its annual Unwrapped to make looking back on 2025 a little sexier.

Case in point: "Hung" was the most searched-for profile tag, according to Grindr Unwrapped, which pulls profile data from the app's 15 million monthly users and over 32,000 votes. If you're astrologically inclined, Scorpio was the most favorited zodiac sign.

This year, Grindr users sent over 135 billion total chats and over 12.8 billion total taps (icons you can send to someone you're interested in).

Next, Grindr broke out some data by country, and it's like a kinky United Nations: Finland is the top nation for sending nudes, South Korea apparently has the most open relationships, Switzerland has the most twinks, and Italian users were the most into feet.

Stateside, the U.S. had the highest percentage of self-proclaimed "daddies" by country.

London was the top city to visit for a "gaycation" (Grindr's gotten into travel content recently), while Tokyo, Seattle, and Taipei were among the highest-volume areas where users searched for friends.

"These findings capture a community that's bold, brash, and unapologetically itself," Zachary Zane, Grindr's sex and relationship expert, said in a release shared with Mashable.

You can view the full Grindr Unwrapped on Grindr's app or website.
