DLsite Releases Its 2025 Report of the Most Popular Adult Tags! “Male Submission” Surpasses Netorare!
The adult-content platform DLsite has published its annual report of the most popular tags in 2025 — and something surprising happened: the long-time dominant genre Netorare was overtaken by a rapidly rising newcomer — Male Submission.
Let’s check out the full ranking. A quick note: DLsite separates its adult-content rankings by male and female audiences. So first, here’s what was most popular among men!

A DLsite também revelou os rankings por região
- Oceania (Pink) – Maid
- Africa (Purple) – Tentacles
- Southeast Asia (Blue) – ASMR
- Middle East (Green) – Trans
- Rest of the World (Orange) – SMALL BREASTS
So US prefers small breasts, huh…? Who would have guessed? Truly shocking. Totally unexpected from you guys. Wow.
Male Submission absolutely dominated within Japan — so if you’re wondering why ASMR appears as the most popular globally, that’s because DLsite also has a general “all-ages” ranking for non-adult works, and ASMR is overwhelmingly the top genre in that category.
The female ranking can be found here.
