How Does Your State Get Its Porn?

If there's one thing Americans can agree on, it's porn.more

There's something comforting about that, but as it turns out, we differ greatly in terms of how we consume our erotic entertainment.

That's according to Pornhub, which has released a truly enlightening interactive state-by-state map detailing how people prefer to access their digital filth. There are three categories—computers, mobile/tablets, and gaming consoles—and while the good old-fashioned desktop is still America's top masturbatory facilitator, folks in some parts of the country are starting to take their randiness on the go and fiddle with joysticks while, you know, fiddling with their joysticks.

In Texas, Louisiana, and Kansas, nearly 80 percent of Pornhub's traffic comes from mobile and tablet devices. In North Dakota, Wyoming, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, and Maine, uncommonly high percentages (1.5 or greater) of the population like getting their smut via gaming systems. Oh, how far we've come since Mario and Luigi.

The good folks at Pornhub didn't stop with America. There's also a global map that shows how U.K. peeps are doing their wanking away from their desks (65 percent mobile, 2 percent gaming) and diddlers in Kuwait and Turkmenistan are getting their jollies almost exclusively (80 percent) on mobile devices.

Depending on how you look at it, Porhub's findings can be seen as positive signs for humanity or proof that we're headed for calamity. Yeah, it's a shame we can't even reach consensus on how to jerk off, but our regional self-love eccentricities may serve as proof that the Internet and general homogenization of culture hasn't killed off the little quirks that make places unique and worth visiting.

Next time you travel, just be sure to observe local porn customs.
