That illustrates one of the US paradoxes quite well. Such a powerful sex-phobic lobby group, able to manipulate companies, the media, politicians, etc, in a country that is probably, if not the largest, one of the world's largest producers of pornography, yet according to a survey by the Journal of Economic Perspectives, reported by
New Scientist in 2009,
conservatives are the biggest consumers of pornography in the US.
