quote:8 of Top 10 Porn-Consuming States Voted Republican in 2008 Presidential Election By EWEN CALLAWAY
Feb. 28, 2009—
Americans may paint themselves in increasingly bright shades of red and blue, but new research finds one thing that varies little across the nation: the liking for online pornography.
A new nationwide study (pdf) 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 Edelman 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.
Political Divide
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.
That company did, however, provide Edelman with roughly two years of credit card data from 2006 to 2008 that included a purchase date and each customer's postal code.
After controlling for differences in broadband internet access between states online porn tends to be a bandwidth hog and adjusting for population, he found a relatively small difference between states with the most adult purchases and those with the fewest.
The biggest consumer, Utah, averaged 5.47 adult content subscriptions per 1000 home broadband users; Montana bought the least with 1.92 per 1000. "The differences here are not so stark," Edelman says.
Number 10 on the list was West Virginia at 2.94 subscriptions per 1000, while number 41, Michigan, averaged 2.32.
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.
Old-Fashioned Values
Church-goers bought less online porn on Sundays a 1% increase in a 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 marriages boasted 11% more porn subscribers than states that don't explicitly restrict gay marriage.
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 thousand 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.
I think if we as Americans were less uptight about it, there would be no big deal.

Why does everything have to be a political arguement? Quit feeding the fire and causing division among people,like we need more left vs. right endfighting?.. for the sake of arguement however my roomates are Democrats and they like porn more than anyone I know that is a republican,so your argument is a moot point and has nothing to do with political affiliation and everything to do with personal choice. IF the study is correct though just proves one point, Religious and/or Republican credit card holders would rather get off on online porn and release their "tensions" in a non harmful way to anyone than to cheat on their spouses and break up marriages that cause a whole other host of problems which shows more moral fortitude than anything the left can offer to society.

I am fairly certain a very small percentage here will view this or any of my posts as trolling.This is a link to ABC news.It discusses online porn, which half of the site owners here produce, and political affiliation , which puts it right at home in this very forum.What you get tired of is viewpoints you don't particularly like, which is why i will again ask you to just leave my posts alone.I have read enough of your "insight" to know i don't need to read more.

My immediate take on this article was that it is likely that since most conservative locations tend to vocally fight adult novelty shops/adult dvd rental/adult live shows etc moving into the area, it is probably a no brainer that they pay for more online porn in these areas than areas that have access to all the above.The main reason i posted this is to see if others here who produce explicit adult material like i do have ever noticed a trend when it comes to the books.I have 4 years of data to look back on, and i can say that yes it seems the lack of immediate competition in these areas does seem to benefit the online host.
I am really surprised that anyone on Wu's would take offense to being associated with more online porn.Some producer's take thier art very seriously and have the backing of many vocal libertarian conservatives,who are socially liberal, ESPECIALLY when it comes to adult businesses moving into an area.That is what an open market is all about.

I am just not understanding how you think that more porn memberships that come from "conservative states" means that Religious and Republican viewers are the ones buying the memberships..that is totally in-conclusive. Democrats live in every state and amongst red state areas and are known for being a free and loose sexual group more than their counterparts so to speak {not sure, I am neither}. Not saying some aren't right wing conservatives buying porn memberships but the weight swings more in the left direction.There is a big difference between Religious Conservatives and just plain old Conservatives as well..the ones fighting to get rid of the Adult book stores would be your Catholics and Christians trying to clean up their neighborhoods.I actually get the most signups from liberal states like my own state,and east coast..so moot point like I said. You do live in Arizona..McCain's home state right?..toejobs from a red state! lol Conservatives get boners too u know. So what exactly is your point here Oh and uh..the 1st Ammendment still applies in my America...I will comment if I please when I see something I should speak up about. As long as no forum rules are broken it's all good. I'm just tired of the posts that try to pick fights with the other side, it's sometimes blatantly obviously with threads like these and it gets old. Relax, Bush is gone..keep reminding yourself that..no need to pick fights

YOu are still projecting.You do have the right to free speech but you do not have the right to attribute a viewpoint -first before i make one_ and second, after i have already stated mine and it had nothing to do with your projection.
watch closely
quote: you think that more porn memberships that come from "conservative states" means that Religious and Republican viewers are the ones buying the memberships..that is totally in-conclusive.
Nope.I sure never said that anywhere in this thread.I said i believe it has to do with the blocking of outlets where people in those areas can purchase it in person.It really is that simple.
You didn't like an argument the article may have made.That is fine.You do not get to attribute that argument to me because i posted the topic.that is a fallacy.You don't get to cry troll because it calls out conservative areas and then turn around and say
quote: trying to clean up their neighborhoods
it is more like trying to control human nature.Which makes the topic worth discussing on a forum inhabited by producers of adult material.You are the only one trolling today, i'm afraid.
Posted by Toetapper (Member # 6473) on :
Over the last couple of decades, several research studies and surveys have revealed that those who identify themselves as conservatives tend to have a kinkier bent to their sexuality. That they might explore the wide world of web-porn, would seem to follow (keeping in mind that the bulk of resistance to taxing internet use comes from conservative legislators).
As a conservative, this doesn't surprise me in the least. The fundamental operative of conservatism is "Liberty" (from, among other things, governmental and politically-correct oppression and repression). Speaking strictly for myself, I enjoy a wonderful and varied sex-life and, clearly evidenced by my presence here, porn on the web is part of it.
There is no hypocrisy here. For too long, it has been the know-nothing liberals and pseudo-conservatives that have been defining what "conservatism" is and both groups are far off the mark. Certainly, there are conservatives who have issues with porn (I have a big problem with misogynistic porn, e.g. Max Hardcore) but the idea of regulating it is as offensive to me as the porn itself.
Having said all that, I guess I'd better mention the article quoted above. I'm doing the math in my head and might move a decimal point around: I think that a color chart of the U.S. based on the statistics needs only three shades. Cover the map of the country in gray, with the high usage rate in black and low usage rate in white.
I'm guessing (based on what I read) that the usage rate across the U.S.A. is fairly uniform (gray) with a couple of hot spots (pinpoints of black) and some spots (white) with slightly unusual low rates of web-porn use.
The black spots could could be the result of a kid with "Daddy's Credit Card" (possibly areas of affluence?) and the white areas could be the lack of availability (remote rural areas).
As a side-note, it has been my experience that the picket-waving protest-girl was, by far, the most up-tight...sex beyond missionary was barbaric.
I await the ridicule for my thoughts.

Hilarious.
really.
The funniest part is,the conservative poster above you agrees with the study more than i do.I have nothing but people telling me what my opinion of it is in here and ignoring what it actually is.
I have said quite plainly - I think the study points to the lack of physical adult retail in conservative areas due to blocking of such retail, to cause a jump in ALL people in those areas using the internet for porn instead.You are both refusing to understand my position on purpose.
If i am going to have my viewpoints dictated to me by others, then yes i feel i have a right to ask you to just not reply to me.I have asked several moderators including Wu for an ignore function, and i would love to put you on it.
i will say though, your post as usual added absolutely nothing to the discussion other than " hey im conservative and this makes me mad so it must be crap" brilliant, really.
Posted by Wrinklesguy (Member # 732) on :
Then why post an article that you don't necessarily agree with? Lay off the Mary Jane before you cut and paste what other people say because it made NO sense unless you are stoned and drunk on Koolaid girlfriend! lol Maybe I'll go write a thread on Global Warming and Tit Mouses and tell you to lay off my thread. Learn to accept in a public forum you will have to deal with opposition and live with it. The floor is yours deary.. Also please realize your are playing in the oven on self-clean mode with a bunch of the Big Dogs...so it may get a little rougher than you are used to..there's nothing personal against you no matter WHAT is said. Posted by Vanderfeet (Member # 8733) on :
Interesting article, if not a little overly sure of itself. It looks like they only sampled the credit card receipts from one adult entertainment provider. Does that mean only one adult site? Surely a broader sample of sites would provide more meaningful results.
If their finding that the more religious states appear to be higher online porn seekers is accurate, I am not surprised. I think it's a well known psychological phenomenon, touched upon at the close of the article, that when conditioned to repress natural urges, to quote Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, "nature will...find a way". Often this leads to clandestine, hypocritical, sometimes morally bankrupt activities, and surely some feverishly guilt-ridden online porn adventures would not be excluded from that mix. The safest way to go, really. At least they're not molesting choir boys.
As far as the other argument in this thread. What in the holy hell is the point of having a 'politics' discussion forum if people are attacked as 'trolls' for simply posting articles that are more-or-less aligned with their political views? If you start frothing at the mouth and are inclined to resort to personal attacks whenever discovering views that contradict your own in a 'politics' forum, I'm mystified as to what you expected to find in said 'politics' forum in the first place. It verges on the nonsensical. Someone can post an article without agreeing 100% with all the assertions within it. Posting an article is not necessarily a condemnation of everyone who opposes its content, but could easily be presented merely as something conducive to discussion.
Posted by Wrinklesguy (Member # 732) on :
Then why post articles you don't fully agree with? I am missing your point I guess. Or is fun just to post for the sake of posting new threads?
Posted by Mona (Member # 8351) on :

You usually do miss the point.Why don't we ask ledaemon why he posted the thread about google brokering deals that he didnt agree with.
Paul: Why on earth would you do that? Are you not aware this forum is only meant for people to post political threads from their own viewpoint?

Ridiculous

This article is basically the first big article carried by major news affiliates regarding online porn that i have seen in 09.
We are a forum that boasts a large number of online porn producers.
The case for posting this article is indeed quite solid.
LOL though, for the two conservatives getting heated about conservatives maybe downloading porn, and arguing so on a foot fetish website with someone who makes porn.Does anyone know a good company who could remove the huge pile of scrap irony in my yard?

No rescue needed.by now, i think people are aware that you were wrong from the begining.What i am pointing to, is that it seems there have been less of the usual people in the other threads too lately, and it seems to coincide with recent members thinking they are big dogs.
I made the point that Paul's post doesnt reflect his views and you ignore that and reply to the what you might have witty comments to.Just because i take extremely liberal views on some matters, does not give you the right to attribute that to me on every issue when i havnt even wieghed in.Its poor peer relations and it shits all over the thread for before it lets any discussion take place.On a gun control topic, i am likely to weigh in with very "conservative" views.Are you going to give me opinion on that issue to before i state it? Also implying my agenda only works up ucfl, and if you want to talk about kool aid, well i heard in the news his hannity kool aid turned out to be wiper fluid

Stating that some random news article posted about a small sampling of porn viewers are largely all Conservatives being false is more based on fact than it is whining.I encourage you to look up the definition of the two words. Your friends don't want to stick their foot in their mouth {no pun intendid} in how lame this article sounds or else they would have told me how wrong I am in this no? Why would they be scared off by like 2 conservative posters who even voice their opinions on here, when the majority is Left leaning? Majority rules doesn't it..why would they leave based on discussing politics or do they not have anything to say? Proof is in the pudding about me being one of the Big Dogs in this little community, member here for 6 years and lurker for a few before that and a website that boasts sometimes upward of 500,000 hits an hour on heavy days..well..u get the point.

A Russian man died after guzzling a bottle of Viagra to keep him going for a 12-hour orgy with two female pals.
The women had bet mechanic Sergey Tuganov $4,300 that he wouldn’t be able to follow through with the half-day sex marathon.
But minutes after winning the bet, the 28-year-old died of a heart attack, Moscow police said.
“We called emergency services but it was too late, there was nothing they could do,” said one of the female participants who identified herself only as Alina.

I used to have a free foot site in the late 90s and I had a counter on it that would also trace back to what countries and organizations were hitting it. There were actually lots of .gov extensions in the hits as well as US military. Perhaps Clinton himself was grabbing his dick and double clicking between cigar breaks.
Pervdom crosses all political lines. I think the majority of conservative minded people just ain't as open about it which its always so hilarious for example when a congressman get's busted in a compromising position in a cruisy men's room in an airport.
I remain neutral to this argument.
Please do go on...

yeah, he got banned after you pestered, and whined, and pestered some more and whined some more to the "mods" whom you claim are your "friends." basically you, and whomever rushed to your defense, harassed wu and the mods until they got so tired of hearing from you that they just banned the dude. instead of calling this section "politics" we should call it "mona's non-free speech area."

This thread is getting out of hand and is now pretty much off topic. I´m closing it.

I think if we as Americans were less uptight about it, there would be no big deal.

Often this leads to clandestine, hypocritical, sometimes morally bankrupt activities, and surely some feverishly guilt-ridden online porn adventures would not be excluded from that mix. The safest way to go, really. At least they're not molesting choir boys.![[Nana]](graemlins/nana.gif)
