Ironically, although McCain’s state didn’t make the Top Ten – his comely but six of the bottom 10 states went for current President Barack Obama. Pretty funny, given that a 2007 Zogby International survey found that those who responded believe that it’s atheists sucking all the bandwidth out of the internet in pursuit of fleshly pleasures.
But it’s okay, because even though the nice, closeted people of faith who enjoy sexy stuff may surf for it on a regular basis, they take the Sabbath off to focus on other things – like attending those Porn & Pancakes get-togethers the absexuals from XXXChurch.com love to take on tour, for instance.
Edelman doesn’t speak words unuttered before when he opines that “One natural hypothesis is something like repression: if you’re told you can’t have this, then you want it more.”
Another hypothesis is merely that people all over the world enjoy sex – regardless of how much some of those people try to spin doctor the truth. Obviously, a fair number of them live in conservative states and take advantage of the broadband opportunities made available by godless technology.
Ironically, but not terribly surprising, is the fact that Edleman found that the 27 states with laws against same-sex marriage also have an 11-percent higher chance or subscribing to an adult website than the supposedly anything goes inhabitants of more queer-friendly states. Furthermore, states with residents who tended to agree that they “have old-fashioned values about family and marriage” tended to buy 3.6 more of those subscriptions per 1000 people than did states who didn’t identify as quite so “old-fashioned.”
The results were roughly the same for those who believe that “AIDS might be God’s punishment for immoral sexual behavior.” Hopefully those surfers are online with with latex gloves, dental dams, condoms and rosary beads at the ready.
Of course, given that the most porn-loving state in the country appears to be Utah – you know, the state with the anti-porn “child protection registry” law and a burning, bleeding loathing for same-sex marriage, there won’t be much bead rattling. In fact, the states with the highest appreciation for the internet’s adult bounty are decidedly non-Catholic, with six of the top 10 being firmly Baptist.
You know, the religion that seems to have the loudest lung capacity when it comes to shrieking about the alleged ills associated with enjoying the sensual pleasures of modern life.
