God have mercy for I have sinned! This funny Family Guy episode raises an important question, about the potential consequences of pornography for the social outcomes and if there’s a link between pornography use and religion?
There is little research investigating the subject, but this study conducted in the U.S. demonstrates that the increase in Internet pornography consumption is “negatively related to religious service attendance, importance of faith, prayer frequency, and closeness to God, while positively related to religious doubts“.

Other curious facts:

• 1. While Abrahamic religions condemn porn as a sin equal to adultery, Taoism and Hinduism are famous for their erotic arts and books about sex.
• 2. People with strong religious beliefs are more often identify themselves as addicted to pornography, but they consider themselves happier and are at lower risk for drug and alcohol problems.

Ah, the infamous “Do women?..” type of question but the answer is YES. Who doesn’t? Women are people and people like porn 🙂 A lot of the hardcore porn men and women watch is the same but there are some nuances:

1. 1. Women like movies with a story to get the imagination going
2. 2. Women tend to look for pornstars that resemble them in some way so they can relate
3. 3. Women tend to watch porn with partners instead of watching it alone
4. 4. Approximately 1/4 of all online porn traffic are women (For example, 24% of people who visit Pornhub monthly are female visitors)
5. 5. Studies have found that one in three women watch porn every week.
6. 6. Statistics show that women watch a lot of lesbian sex but they don’t mind searching for “rough sex”, “gangbang”, “double penetration”, “big black cock” etc
7. 7. Women like erotic fiction aka fuckfiction (written sex scenes). No surprises here, women tend to be less visually stimulated than men.
8. 8. Up to 13% of women report watching gay porn. Why? They don’t wanna see other naked chicks, and solo male movies made specifically for female viewers are not very common.
