If Mormons are subscribing to porn this would be one site that would appeal to them because of its natural quality and tasteful porn.

Free porn sites have viruses throughout their sites. One must be careful where one clicks.

Okay let me try this again: It does not matter how discreet they are. It comes every month. The same bill. How to explain it to the partner? To get a credit card only for porn would be folly. Eventually, it will all come out in the laundry. So, what we have are Mormons getting porn credit cards and hiding the card from the spouse so that they can look at internet porn when they are alone. Something is not right with this picture.

A lot of wives do not check credit card statements or bank statements (you can pay via monthly bank ach debit also).

My high school friend spent 8 years as a Bishop of a middle class ward in Orem, Ut (The epicenter of Mormonism). Porn and porn problems were epidemic in his ward.

From his experience as Bishop, his young kids are NOT allowed sleep overs under any circumstances...too many pedophiles and sexual abuse cases that he has handled just from his own ward.

But what does he know?

Lets put it this way: It is hard to find a porn shop in utah. That being the case, those who are interested in porn do go to the internet for porn subscriptions. However, in many states it is not that difficult to locate a shop that sells porn dvds etc. Also, I am sure that there are nonmembers hitting the porn sites on the internet. I just don't think that members would risk a constant credit card charge every month. The wife would definitely ask for more details about such a charge.


So you think people go to shops to find porn elsewhere in the US?


Apparently the online porn boom only affected Utah.

Dude. No one goes to porn shops anymore. No one wants to look at magazines or buy DVDs its all about the Internet. Its a matter of convenience. Nice try at defending UT's porn habits. Members don't need to risk a constant charge. Most credit card bills are discrete. Also it's not uncommon for someone to get a credit card and hide it from their spouse.

Note also the underlying assumption to Why Me's desperate flailing around to come up with any ad hoc speculation he can as to why Utah's non-LDS population is almost entirely to blame for Utah's per capita rate of online porn subscriptions.

His unspoken assumption is that non-LDS spouses would not be bothered to find credit card charges for porn sites, like LDS spouses would be.

Yep. And non-LDS would rather enter a seedy 1970s era porn shop to buy magazines and VHS tapes rather than view porn in the privacy of their home. And LDS are more likely than non-LDS to purchase high quality porn produced by classy Europeans. Non-lds go for the cheap stuff produced by Bang Bros. featuring Ron Jeremy. Apparently, Mormons are the only true porn consumers.

Why am I a hypocrite? Is it because I am attempting to educate this site about porn and its destructiveness? Porn is a problem throughout the world and it is not just men who are affected by it. Women are also. The site that I mentioned caters to both men and women. It is not surprising that some Mormons are looking at porn. Many other people are too. The industry makes billions of dollars a year and it is very creative in many money.

It is my fault that people on this site watch porn and yet, are ignorant about the business?
