      <![CDATA[#18: With Utah being over 75% Mormon, I find it unlikely that the porn<br />
buyers all just happen to be from the other 25%. But, okay, ASSuming<br />
that "gentiles", as Mormons call them, are a minority buying enough<br />
porn to make Utah #1, that's an interesting phenomenon in itself. Why<br />
would be a non-Mormon in Utah be so eager to buy porn? Are they<br />
jealous that Mormons get hot oil rubbed on their naked goodies by a<br />
stranger in their secret ceremonies?<br />
<br />
I agree that there's not enough here to draw an official conclusion,<br />
but we're not setting national policy here anyway. All I want is to<br />
have a good crude snicker, and PORN IN UTAH does a fine job.

      <![CDATA[Having dated a bisexual man from Riyad, Saudi Arabia, I can assure you that porn, though illegal and hard to find, is highly sought after and passed around until it literally falls apart (in the case of magazines). Also, lots of gay and bi men getting it on over there-that strict sex segregation is only a bad thing for the straight folks when it comes to getting laid apparently. I definitely come down on the more repression=more obsession side.

      <![CDATA[Maybe some of those in the blue states are old-school:  They prefer the feel of holding the dead tree in their hands.  I guess some are classics?  I wouldn't know about any of this stuff, though.  Seriously.<br />
<br />
But wait, that doesn't explain the red states though.  Damn.<br />
<br />
 . . .Oh wait, they're measuring porn consumption in terms of *adult content (online) subscriptions*?  Umm, that's like a narrow definition/methodology of something . . .not sure what . . .<br />
<br />
In addition to paying for it, which I think people should try to do to some extent (but then how do those in the porn industry earn so much?), what if your wife/partner or your kid saw *the bill or bank statement*, or if you were audited or were involved in a criminal or civil investigation?  Not smart.

      <![CDATA[A few years ago there were billboards all over Omaha that showed various U of Nebraska football personalites (who rank somewhere just above God in Nebraska) looking sternly into the camera with the caption "REAL MEN DON'T USE PORN" next to their face. <br />
<br />
Yet if you cross the river into Iowa, you will see porn stores with parking lots full of Nebraska plates. <br />
<br />
Apparently Omaha is full of faux men....

      <![CDATA[Maybe it is all of us freeloading blue staters who are running the porn industry out of business. Thank God for the decent, hard-working, God fearing Republicans who keep our major porn corporations afloat.

      <![CDATA[@ 1, 8, etc - It's not that you should be surprised that right-wingers have turned out (yet again) to be lying hypocrites when it comes to sex.  The point is that it's fun to be able to wave a bit of data in their faces that PROVES what lying hypocrites they are.

      <![CDATA[Sexual repression provides fantastic energy for building civilizations. However, it also drives people crazy, which explains the insane nature of the most successful civilizations. Sexually liberal cultures never get anywhere beyond spears and canoes, if that. Most of them are wiped out or enslaved by the crazy ones. They also serve as tacitly permissible objects of sexual fantasies for their oppressors. This drives the oppressed nuts, too. That's the stage our culture is at, with women, the colored peoples, and gays fighting with various degrees of success to get out of the ecomomic and emotional ghettoes they've been fantasized into. Straight white men have been driven nuttier yet by the loss of their hallucinatory harems. The infrastructure, meantime, is going to hell from lack of the redirected sexual energy that created it in the first place. Christians made cities out of the jungles, now they're making jungles out of the cities.

      <![CDATA[They're right, those commenters making the point that red states are just more likely to be unsophisticated about finding porn.  That kind of takes all the fun out of the post, though.  Talk about unsurprising study results.  Did they report whether middle-aged conservative Utah homos are less knowledgeable than lefty pole-smokers like me about the many ways to suppress the gag reflex?  Because, really, I can't imagine what that answer might be either.
