The sample (n = 1,392) of adults in the United States was collected using Amazon Mechanical Turk and included a much wider age range (ages 18-73) than in typical pornography research. Using all modalities of pornography, 91.5% of men and 60.2% of women herein reported having consumed pornography in the past month. The three primary modalities of pornography consumed were written pornography, pictures, and videos. Videos were consumed most often, but women were much more likely to consume written pornography than men. The primary function of viewing pornography was to enhance masturbation, but notably there was endorsement of many other uses.

I find this hard to believe.

Its probably some kinda "mechanical turk" selection bias (ie. 90% of computer savvy people who also are willing to do surveys for 0.25 each consume lots of porn).

The gov probably knows that, but they want high results to justify whatever budget expansion they are fighting for....

60 percent of women sounds too high

91 percent of men sounds too low lol

Really I thought 91 was way too high. I feel like it's been months since I've looked at any porn (besides the stuff that creeps into my algorithm on social media).

Maybe I need my Test levels checked lol.

Women read a lot of porn/erotic stories. Why that book about bondage SBDM was so huge they made a movie out of it. Women love that stuff. Fifty shades of Grey?!!

There should be some bias or insignificant p value I didn't know women read more.
