From the article: Last year, a study published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives showed Utah had the nation's highest online porn subscription rate per thousand home broadband users, at 5.47, from 2006 to 2008.

Yes, porn is "everywhere"...its market knows few bounds...but some regions -- and surprising ones at that, sanction it & supply the porn industry with more $ than others in distinct ways.

It’s even easier to get hooked on FR than porn.

Yes porn is bad, but I think the Government should but out. It is up to the parents to monitor the Internet activity..

The sexual revolution drove the spread of STDs and out-of-wedlock births. Internet porn just drove up the sale of Jergens and Kleenex.

Since when does it have to be either-or??? Your latter statement doesn't negate the first. Both are to be vigilant.

I agree, but part of the problem is that you can be subjected to porn while trying to find something that’s completely unrelated to porn.

Very much true, but at least FR yields positive results! : )

Sorry the Government should not be in internet regulating business.

False assumption that all keep their addiction "indoors."

For a small %, it's helped to fuel sex crimes.

Certainly studies have shown, that at the very least it's effected how people view rapists...one study showed that people who have had extended porn saturation were more lenient in recommending lengthy jail sentences for sex perps than those who has less contact w/porn.

IOW, attitudes absorbed in the privacy of homes aren't necessarily "quieted away" -- not to be revealed in 'tudes on, let's say, a future jury that a citizen may serve on.

When the history books are written about the decline and death of western civilization, internet porn will be on page one.

A survey said 70% of all males go to porn sites. In the same survey, 30% of all males lie on surveys.

Every hardcore porn "media shooting" essentially involves the exact same thing that goes on in prostitution-john cases...somebody's getting paid for sex...IOW we already have a structure for dealing with prostitution...the only thing law enforcement officials need to do is to extend the same ordinances & statutes to the porn industry.

I can be innocently on-line or even on Skype to relatives and I get these come on messages. Usually, I ignore or block them, but sometimes I feel wicked and send a reply like “Sorry, honey, you’d have to pay ME to look at YOU!”
