Research that I would love to do

Who says that economists are boring? Surf to this page, and you are guaranteed a nice read about where the consumers of porn can be found in the US. Of course, the Journal of Economic Perspectives doesn't call it porn but "adult entertainment", but I am sure the researchers had a great time anyway.
I learned a lot from reading this article. Did you know, for instance, that Canada used to have a special visa category for would be adult-entertainers, "who had to demonstrate their skills"? I would have loved to be an immigration officer in those days......
And also Utah has a significantly higher percentage of consumers of porn than other states. Those Mormons seem to need inspiration for breeding so much.....
