A problem with this “New Scientist article“:

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.

You want to know why Utah is the biggest consumer of Online Porn?
Because Utah is the biggest haven of Blue Laws that greatly reduce offline porn.  There was recently, in Utah, a Porn Czar, whose job it was to watch all the pornography coming into the state and slash away what parts of the porn fall outside their standards of acceptable indecency.

Hence, where else can Utahans go to get their fix of [fill in references to multiples and to penetrations and whatnot] but the Internet?

There’s a great muddle between #10 and #41 — blurring the supposed “Blue State / Red State” focus of this article, and at the bottom lies Montana, which I don’t have any good explanation for.  At any rate, the great cry out I see from the Liberal denziens “Ha!  Those ‘godly’ Conservative Hypocrites!” , as well explanation from the first comments on this article Might it not be the frustrated liberals in their midst who turn to porn to console themselves? and from there… are off base and beside the point.
