Alabama cities lead list of porn-loving religious places, poll says

Sometimes it doesn't pay to be No. 1.

Not when the ranking is on the list of "very religious" cities whose residents watch the most online porn.

Huntsville took top "honors" in the poll in which one of the largest online pornography sites, PornHub.com, used data from a Gallup poll on U.S. cities that are "very religious" and compared it with the cities whose residents most often visit its site, according to the BuzzFeed.com.

The findings - based on most religious cities ranked by per capita visits to Pornhub between December 1, 2012 and April 30, 2013 - showed 55 percent of Huntsville residents are "very religious" and make 23.8 PornHub views per capita.

what kind of porn is being watched. I remember reading something a while ago that said that Utah had the most people watching gay porn and that red states in general had a high usage of gay porn.

“Thanks, Obama!” is a sarcastic expression used by critics of President Barack Obama to blame personal troubles and inconveniences on public policies supported or enacted by the administration. The phrase is often used to caption animated GIFs in which the subject appears to be struggling with a rather simple task, satirizing those who scapegoat Obama as the cause of problems for which he has little or no influence.

There are 4 types of families that produce the most dysfunctional offspring:

The 2 "out of control" types, in which there is active adiction ( booze, drugs, etc)
or active mental illness..as in unmedicated bi-polar, other extreme behavioral entla problems
( including narcissitic or borderline parents)

The 2 "rigid" types are fundalmentalist religious
and gung ho military families ( think The Great Santini).

Not each and every and all families fit this pattern,but enough do that it is addressed in Codependency treatment
and substance abuse treatment.

making 47 views per capita?

OK, probably not-- they're actually getting some and don't watch much, although the sexually liberated are often enough watching porn while doing it...

Or could it maybe be the religious are curious about non-missionary sex? About whether or not there really are men with more than their husbands' 3"? Is choking on it really the wife's reason for not...

Porn is educational, after all. More educational than that damn science.

this is kind of bogus.

I'm not saying that the "very religious" aren't hypocritically getting their porn on. I'm sure they are.

But what this is, they took the list of "most religious" cities from the gallup poll, then within that list of "most religious" cities they ranked them by views of the porn site.

This doesn't mean that these cities watched more porn than the "less religious" cities - though they may have. It means that, among those cities declared "most religious" by the gallup poll, people in Huntsville visited the porn site more than people in Montgomery, who visited it more than people in little rock, and so on.
