Brief Background of Pornography in Michigan
Pornography is legal for sale, distribution, and viewing in Michigan. Unlike with nearby states (i.e. New Jersey), producers of adult content are not currently required to verify age through documentation of persons accessing online pornographic material. Access is essentially wide open, with no barriers to give compulsive users reason to pause and rethink engagement.
Porn Addiction Statistics for the State of Michigan
In a nation that already leads the world in viewership of online pornography, data from PornHub reports that Michigan ranks 16th among all 50 U.S. states (and DC) when it comes to watching the most porn, per capita.
While most of the population is able to incorporate use of porn into their personal lives in a healthy way, you’re certainly not alone in your struggle. In a state of more than 10 million residents, the number of people and households experiencing the same struggle is growing with the spread of online pornography. Flint Michigan’s own Terry Crews recently opened up about how pornography addiction has affected his family. Both men and women in addition to young Michiganians join the rest of the USA in sharing the following statistics:
- Median consumption rates of porn are 74.5% among men and 58% among women ( source )
- 9% of porn consumers are unable to stop on their own ( source )
