Study: 71% of Americans Think Watching Porn Is ‘Morally Wrong’

According to newly published data from the Public Religion Research Institute, a whopping (but supposedly not whacking) majority of American adults get their panties in a bunch—the un-fun way—over whether or not it's "morally acceptable" to consume pornography. In fact, 71% answered that it's "morally wrong" to view porn. That means that in a roomful of 100 U.S. citizens, we'd have to dole out 71 "fuck you's" to just 29 declarations of "you're cool".

Along gender lines, 23% of women say adult entertainment is groovy, while only 35% of men claim to be copacetic with videos and other media depicting copulation (cough-cough-BULLSHIT!-cough). Whatever, dudes.

Read on for more really swell statistics on America the allegedly non-viewer-full.

• Biggest anti-porn boner-slayers: white evangelical Christians (10%) and people over 68 (9%).

• Most approving of the erotic arts: Millennials (45%) and people with no religious affiliation (53 percent%)

• Catholics come in at 28% smut-friendly.

• College graduates that have learned porn is all right to enjoy: 40%

• In terms of not legally restricting adult access to X-rated goodies, it seems to be the one issue on which Democrats (40%) and Tea Partiers (41%) can at least see pretty much crotch-to-crotch.

All told, it's a double-condom-safe bet that a lot more than just 3 out of 10 of Americans are regularly cramming their eyes full of fornication images, so it's skinteresting that so many of us at least say we feel bad about it (and/or that everybody else should). Lighten up, America. Take a load off and get a load out. Then pat yourself on the back with your one free hand. Tit's all good!
