Top Internet Searches for Porn
I came across some interesting information about Middle America whilst cruising the Internet for porn statistics this weekend (y'know, how you do...).
Apparently Middle America is at home, searching the Internet for porn. Read what you will into the following lists of cities producing the most Internet searches for keywords like "sex" and "xxx" (maybe they don't utilize bookmarks as much as people in big coastal cities, or maybe people in big cities have more sophisticated searches like "slutty teen hot candle wax catfight"..or something).
In any event, here are the lists, organized by keyword. I'm including the worldwide search results as well, though I don't have much comment there. Apologies to you statisticians out there, but the best source I can offer is the meta-stats site Internet Filter Review (they clearly need to get hip to citing sources and methodology).

Agreed! I only just moved from Chicago to LA, but if I'd known about Elmhurst, I would have given it a chance instead! :)
