Utah, Alaska smash Ohio in online porn love
When it comes to supporting the Internet porn industry, we are not pulling our weight.
Ohio is 47th in the nation when it comes to subscription to Internet porn sites, according to a study by a Harvard Business School professor published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives.
Utah residents apparently likes their porn and they like it a lot.
That state ranked 1# in the study.
It had an average of 5.47 subscriptions per thousand home broadband users.
Alaska placed second with 5.03 per thousand subscribers, followed by Mississippi with 4.30.
Montana is the biggest loser, placing last with 1.92 porn subscribers per thousand broadband households.
Oddly enough, online porn subscriptions are higher in states with conservative views on religion, gender roles, and sexuality and those with bans on same sex marriage and civil unions, the analysis by Benjamin Edelman says.

Not surprised that conservatives are secretly hot for porn.

I would never give one of those sleaze bag comapnies any vital information or credit card #. Plus the truth is that with a little leg work you can find password sites that can gain you free anonymus access! Everything from grannies and tranny’s to your more socially acceptable sleaze.
