Arkansas among top online porn states

By Todd Gill · July 20, 2009 12:04 pm · 13 Comments

CNBC is currently knee-deep in a behind-the-scenes look at the pornography business with its “Porn: Business of Pleasure” report that first aired last Friday, July 17th. The documentary focuses on the economic challenges that the $13 billion industry is currently facing as threats to its profitability become increasingly larger each day.

Between a tanked economy, a decrease in DVD sales, and something called “the Internet,” the adult entertainment industry is totally getting pounded. Hard.

Besides the TV show, there’s an online companion site complete with web extras and show highlights. The current featured slideshow on the site is centered around a report released earlier this year that highlights where the revenues for internet pornography are coming from and the findings revealed that online porn usage is “more prevalent in states where surveys indicate conservative positions on religion, gender roles and sexuality.”

In other words, red states are also red light states. And coming in at #6 is our own favorite red state with 3.12 online porn subscriptions per 1,000 broadband users. Woo Pig Sooie!

The full Top Ten:

10. West Virginia
Tie-8. Florida
Tie-8. Louisiana
7. North Dakota
6. Arkansas
5. Oklahoma
4. Hawaii
3. Mississippi
2. Alaska
1. Utah

The full slideshow complete with individual numbers is available at CNBC.com.

Uhm, yeah. Sorry about that, guys. It’s not really fair to blame the whole state though, when one person has all the porn.

So, cancel your subscription Johnathan so we won’t have to blame you.

If you look at the pornography consumption levels, and number of people who self-identify as christian in any given area, I’d bet there is a direct correlation.

Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, feel free to prove me wrong.

Hah, woops, totally missed the line in the article that more abstractly said the same thing.

Why blame? Blame seems to insinuate that there’s something wrong with lookin at porn. Plus, this isn’t necessarily an index of consumption, it might just be the ten states that are least savvy at getting it for free!

@jim – It sounds like you need a better spam filter (and a chill pill).

Get a gmail account and stop getting spam.
