UT clearly leads the rest of the country on this search trend. This begs a few questions.

1. Is porn addiction a bigger problem in UT than the rest of the US?
2. Is the definition of porn addiction drastically different in UT than the rest of the US?
3. Why do Utahns seem to be more preoccupied with porn addiction than the rest of the US?


This only shows that Mormons do not as a rule bookmark their favorite porn sites. This could be so the kids, wife or bishop do not stumble upon them. It might make us peculiar, but it is all so true.

I guess what's sort of interesting is that it seems that the Mormon church spends a lot more on online advertising, so it's a bit surprising that there isn't much in the way of googling and such outside of Utah.


Right. Most people aren't searching for religion or a new religion, or at least, don't know that they are so they need to be found.

It's sad that all those people are missing out on the blessings of the gospel like dress codes, temple oaths, no caffeine, tithing, home teaching, and all the guilt you could wish for. Surprising that more people aren't looking for that.
