Post Conservatives buy more porn
Not surprising, I suppose, but apparently the red states buy tons more porn online than the blue states, despite population differences, with Mormon-led Utah being the biggest purchaser.

File this along with previous studies showing that they have the most divorces and abortions.

Welcome to the red states: Do as we say, not as we do.

probably because blue states have discovered how to get porn for free.

why would anyone buy porn in this day and age when you can receive most for free legally

Look, I'm glad you and Arsi have been in a relationship since 1995, but there are couples out there who buy and enjoy porn together ;)

Well, all the debunking says is that the numbers are close enough that there is no real statistical difference between blue states and red states.

Of course, this leads to this point: Since residents of red states tend to be more religious and preach against porn more, shouldn't their numbers be significantly lower?

It's the hypocricy that was the purpose of this thread really. I really hate being preached to by people who don't practice what they preach. This to me is like closeted Catholic preachers who preach against gay rights.

again i'll say no

i'm quite sure more people in the blue states are savvy enough to know where to get their porn from for free.

The only people that should be accused of hypocrisy are the ones rallying against porn, while at the same time consuming porn. Everyone else should get a pass, regardless of which state they reside in.

Meh. If you're going to correlate a person's pornographic consumption to his or her politics, then consider that each state is basically split in half between the left and the right (no state is absurdly left or absurdly right). It shouldn't be a surprise to hear that all states consume porn about evenly, since they are split about evenly between the pro-porn and anti-porn.

… Furthermore, I found no significant relationship between subscriptions to this adult entertainment service and presidential voting in 2004, based on poll data by congressional district. However, using individual-level data from a Hitwise sample of ten million anonymized U.S. Internet users, Tancer (2008), finds that adult escort sites are more popular in blue states that voted for Gore in 2004, while visitors from the red states that voted for Bush in 2004 are more likely to visit wife-swapping sites, adult webcams, and sites about voyeurism.


Haha, and this is a credible source?

It's an obvious oversight, but it's a quote from the actual study, so your sarcasm is misplaced. Read the source, Luke.
