Maybe because they're afraid to have sex with each other, they need to replace it with virtual sex more?

So, can my Democratic, porn loving self be considered to be "reaching across the aisle"? why does that sound really bad?

OK, so blue states like escort services, so that means they're more open about their wants, maybe?

But red states like voyeurism and web cam sites, so they don't want it out in the open and respect women less because they just want to be able to watch the womens do stuff and not share the experience...OK, I think maybe that's a stretch, as I am not sure if an experience with an escort is a "shared" one, as in mutual pleasure thing. And doesn't account for the wife swap thing.

But yes, I would like to see more research on this. I'm going to be pondering this all day now.

@lalaland13: Red states get married younger. I was shocked by how many ads there were on my local CL (here in Texas) for couples looking for a third, a young wife looking for some kitty action, or hubbies looking to stray. Bored housewives wanting to webcam, etc. Honestly, it's amazing, the difference between what the religious right SAYS and what they DO.

Preach. I dated this guy for, like, a minute who was shameless and wild and amazing in bed... but had multi-week visits to church and took the word of the bible as absolute. When I asked him why he thought that whole "no pre-marital sex" thing didn't pertain to him, he had no answer. (Because his mouth was doing other things -- damn, southern boy!)

@PrettyPrettyPrincess: Kitty action? I hope you mean girl action, because I had the most horrid mental image at first.

Yeah, I wonder if some of these couples get married young and know next to nothing about the other sexually before they are wed. Then it's hello, Interwebz.

I love the distinctions between the types of porn that red states versus blue states visited. I bet the "Nailin' Palin" purchase location map would look like the inverse of the population density map- brightest in Alaska and Wyoming, eg.

Whenever any article or poll compares states and says something like "Utah leading the way," I cant help but imagine a characature of the state (think School House Rock, "I'm Just a Bill" Guy) leading the others in a conga line or death march, depends on the topic.

Hmmm, I wonder if Utah's very high birth rate (and thus higher than average number of young people) may be a contributing factor. Also, I know from my time there that strip clubs, porn rental video stores (& some DVD retailers will not ship porn to Utah zip codes either), etc. face a seriously hostile environment - if I lived there and wanted porn, the Internet is the first place I'd look.

@Your Screenplay Sucks: I think the high birth rate has more to do with the Mormon religion than porn, but that's just my PostMo opinion.

@elaborate bacon (princessprissypants): I mean that younger people consume more pornography than older ones, and Utah (and red states in general) has a higher proportion of young people due to higher birth rates.

Wow, here's how much of a blue-stater I am, I didn't realize that ANYONE would still agree with the "AIDS might be God's punishment for immoral sexual behavior" statement. We once had an HIV/AIDS activist come speak at my Catholic high school and we were taught that no one, no matter how deprave, deserves to have AIDS. I really thought the punishment from god notion was completely dead and gone. Shows what I know.

@MB15213: The assholes come out everywhere... When I've done the AIDS walk in LA a few times, and there's always protesters that are holding signs that say "God hates fags" or some other bullshit, sometimes shouting slogans. They usually get yelled at by people, but I try to ignore them, I don't want to encourage them.
