03/05/2009: "The Religious Right consumes the most porn"
The analysis of credit card receipts from an online adult entertainment provider puts ruby red Utah at the top of the porn consumption league. 5.7 per cent of every 1000 broadband homes in the state have a subscription. But, as the New Scientist reveals, there is also a broader political trend:
Eight of the top 10 pornography consuming states gave their electoral votes to John McCain in last year's presidential election - Florida and Hawaii were the exceptions. While six out of the lowest 10 favoured Barack Obama.
And it's not just political affiliations. Although church-goers are marginally less likely to buy porn on Sundays, the more religious a state is, the more likely it is to consume porn.
[ It's disappointing that people who would be described as conservative and who want everyone to believe they have superior moral values, standing up to the slide into permissiveness and social chaos, are largely complete hypocrites. ]
