When we posted 10 mind blowing maps of the United States a couple of months ago, the feedback was really good. The one complaint we did get was that it was a little too U.S.-centric.
So this time around we’ve changed things up a little and have found ten maps of the world. And to make things a little more interesting – and maybe even a little more spicy – we’re focusing on more adult content this time.
Countries where brothels are legal
Green = yep
Red = nope

World male circumcision rates, by country
Many thanks to our friends at Visual Capitalist. Especially for the banana visual; well done! 😉 🍌
Of course, some religions require male babies to be circumcised. Others just do so for social or perceived cleanliness reasons. As Visual Capitalist says, WHO reiterated that voluntary male circumcision could reduce the spread of HIV to heterosexual men in high-risk areas.

Places in the world where marrying your first cousin is legal
Dark blue = Legal
Light blue = Allowed with restrictions/exceptions
Orange = Legally dependent on religion or culture
Red = Statute bans first-cousin marriages
Brown = Criminal offense
Gray = No data

World countries within range of Israel’s Jericho III Nuclear Missiles
Because not all adult topics are fun and games. Some are dead serious.

World’s most consumed alcoholic beverages
Orange = Beer
Pink = Wine
Blue = Spirits
Teal = Other alcohol
Green = Less than 0.1 liters consumption
White = No data

All the world’s countries on a world map
This one is kind of meta, so we included it on an “adult” post. Kid just wouldn’t get the joke.
Red = countries visible on map
White = Countries not visible on map

Legality of abortion by country, state or territory
Many thanks to our friends at The World in Maps for this one.

Status of facial hair of current world leaders
Orange = Clean shaven
Yellow = Moustache only
Green = Beard only
Blue = Moustache and beard
Black = Executive head is a woman (disqualified)

The world’s most-viewed categories on Pornhub
From the site’s 2025 Year In Review

And last, but not least…world response to the “C-Word” 😉

So yeah, maps can apparently teach us a lot about the world.
Sometimes it’s history or geography.
And sometimes it’s beard trends, Pornhub preferences, and which countries think marrying your cousin is perfectly fine.
The internet is a strange place. 😏
