"Porn in the USA: Conservatives Are the Biggest Consumers"

[hammerofthegods_666]

My partner found this article the other day. I don't have a link for
it because he printed it out for me to read. So I'm just going to
type this out.

American may paint themselves in increasingly bright shades of red and
blue, but new research finds one thing that varies little across the
nation: liking for online pornography.

A new nationwide study of anonymised credit-card receipts from a major
online adult entertainment provider finds little variation in
consumption between states.

"When it comes to adult entertainment, it seems people are more the
same than different," says Benjamin Edelmen at Harvard Business School.

However, there are some trends to be seen in the data. 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.

"Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be consumers of
the very things they claimed to be outraged by," Edelman says.

Edelman spends part of his time helping companies such as Microsoft
and AOL detect advertising fraud. Another consulting client runs
dozens of adult websites, though he says he is not at liberty to
identify the firm.

Old-Fashioned Values

Church-goers bought less online porn on Sundays - 1% increase in
postal code's religious attendance was associated with a 0.1% drop in
subscriptions that day. However, expenditures on other days of the
week brought them in line with the rest of the country, Edelman finds.

RESIDENTS OF 27 STATES THAT PASSED LAWS BANNING GAY MARRIAGE BOASTED
11% MORE PORN SUBSCRIBERS THAN STATES THAT DON'T EXPLICITLY RESTRICT
GAY MARRIAGE [emphasis, mine].

To get a better handle on other associations between social attitudes
and pornography consumption, Edelman melded his data with a previous
study on public attitudes toward religion.

States where a majority of residents agreed with the statement "I have
old-fashioned values about family and marriage," bought 3.6% more
subscriptions per thousands of people than states where a majority
disagreed. A similar difference emerged for the statement "AIDS might
be God's punishment for immoral sexual behaviour."

"One natural hypothesis is something like repression: if you're told
you can't have this, then you want it more," Edelman says.

THIS JUST SHOWS THE HYPOCRISY OF THOSE CHURCH-GOING "HOLIER THAN THOU"
TYPES AND THAT EVERYTHING THAT THEY SAY WE ARE IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY
ARE AND MUCH WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAIL SATAN!!!!
