Porn in the USA: Conservatives are biggest consumers
Well I am shocked! Shocked I tell you.


"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.

1. Trying to outlaw sin only makes it a lot more popular.
We can see that in everything from Prohibition on. The more preachers rail against this stuff, the more people are going to be obsessed with it.

Ask anybody who's ever been on a diet about obsessing on forbidden food.

4. my mom used to say it was the railing preachers you really had to look out for
And she wouldn't go back to church, never encouraged us to, but would take us where ever if we were curious about learning. Discussion always followed.

5. It's psychological like telling kids not to do something.....it automatically
makes them want to do it. So....conservatives should start advocating porn....to reduce it's use.

7. Conservative states also have higher rates of divorce, spousal abuse,
child abuse, and rape. Being hateful, bigoted, repressed, sexist and ignorant is a toxic mix!

8. porn in the usa porn in the usa
porn in the usa porn in the usa

I got tired of the lack of hometown jam
And so I put a PC in my hands
got excited when i saw the screen
now i know what 'shooting beaver' really means



Come back home and hide in my house
locked the door, one click of the mouse
I go down and so does she
a whole box of kleenex and Im home free



I had a pastor tell me it was sin
lost my virginity with a goat when i was ten
Im going to hell but I dont mind
I love my CandyXXX specially her behind


Down in the shadows of my cyber muff
my keyboard gets it easy or my keyboard gets it rough
every girl I pay online marvels at my wank
(lord please help me with that overdraft at the bank)


I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Porn in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Porn in the U.S.A.

9. Bruce Hornsby sang it best:
From his "Defenders of the Flag:"

The congregation's waiting at the altar
They can't find the preacher anywhere
They found him with the new girl from the choir
Where they store the boxes of the book of prayer
If these guys are the good ones
I don't want to know the bad
You wonder how it happened
They just picked it up from dad
While faded old glory is hanging like a rag
Defenders, defenders of the flag

The flag is flying high over the courthouse
The wheels of justice never stood a chance
The judge is down at Charlie's on his lunch hour
Checking out the picture show from France
Carrying a fifth of whiskey
In a dirty paper bag
Threw the ball to home
But they always missed the tag
Faded old glory hanging like a rag
Defenders, defenders of the flag

10. The only guys I ever dated that had any interest whatsoever in porn
were both the most right-leaning. Very interesting. I never thought about that before.
