Comments for Porn in the USA: Conservatives Are Biggest Consumers »

Posted By Aidenag 10 months ago in Political News

Those states that do consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious than states with lower levels of consumption, the study finds. Eight of the top 10 pornography consuming states gave their electoral votes to John McCain in last year's presidential election. While six out of the lowest 10 favoured Barack Obama.

    Given the shenanigans that have come to light over the conservative state's elected officials, I'm not at all surprised. But this gave me a laugh; "The biggest consumer, Utah, averaged 5.47 adult content subscriptions per 1000 home broadband users;"
    tsk tsk tsk. I wonder of any of those clowns had anything to do with CA's prop. 8 being approved.

      You can safely bet that some of them were involved.

        Don't forget Utah also has a lot of polygamists.

          Comcast and General Motors, holder of Direct TV are the two largest "producers" of porn. America is an uptight country of voyeurs and sex in general. We are against gay marriage, by adultery is no big deal. Soft core porn, never to be seen on broadcast TV, but the explicit killing of people is great... Saving Private Ryan.

          My priest thought my being married twice was unforgiveable, but my second wife's adultery was changing the subject!!

          I just thought it seemed like porn use is higher where there isn't much else to do.

              Perhaps Americans. There is a lot less violence and a lot more porn on open TV in Europe. No subscription is needed.

              Well. That's very...

              ...ironic. And somehow not not surprising.

                They needed a study to determine this?

                  We've been screwed by the last 4 republican presidents - so is it any wonder that when they're not in power their constituents will turn to porn - just to keep their hand in so to speak.
                  Sure Clinton & JFK were actively horny but they only $crewed one at a time - not over 300 million.

                    I think having a healthy sexual appetite (actively horny) and secretly delving into porn as 2 entirely different things. Just my opinion.

                    Consider, Newt Gingrich, Henry Hyde, and Rush Limbaugh. They have the nerve to complain!!

                            THIS conservative doesn't consume porn. And, here's why, ...
                            You look, you lust, and then you do whatever next, right? Victim-less? Not hardly. Many women who pose or participate in porn wind-up addicted to (hard) drugs, not to mention the easy-money lifestyle. They have some of highest infection rates of STD's. They sacrifice their "best" years before a camera emerging on the other end appearing many years older than their actual age with no skill, no resume, and no career. Wise proverbs say, "The eyes are the windows to the soul". Don't take my word for it; look into the eyes of any "sex" worker - they're as hollow as an abandoned well. Sad.
                            So, you think it's a harmless pastime or choice? Why not encourage your wife or even your daughter(s) to go into the business? Didn't think so. So why doesn't it bother you (equally) to gawk, oogle and lust over someone else's daughter? Just remember, she was someone's little baby at one time; full of hope, promise and some parents dreams for her.
                            Think about it the next time you're "surfing" porn. Your soul is rotting from the inside out.

                              Yall should do yourselves a favor climb down off those high horses. Maybe the people in these states have less access to adult video stores so they get their porn elsewhere? Maybe they look at porn just as much as people in the more liberal states but due to the fact that they're more religious they're not as shameless and tend to keep it in the house instead of going out to purchase it in public?
                              Maybe your hatred for republicans is so deep that you look for the most retarded of "studies" to try and vilify your political opponents.

                                  I agree. You need to consider the quality of porn available. Not all porn is equal.
