Brief Background of Pornography in Montana
Is Porn Legal in Montana?
Pornography is legal for sale, distribution, and viewing in Montana. However, as of January 1, 2024, state law SB 544 went into effect to require pornography sites to verify a Montana user’s age before viewing sexually explicit content. This verification must be in the form of state-issued ID, which is uploaded to respective streaming platforms. Consequently, the world’s most popular pornography platform, PornHub, has blocked Montana in protest to what they consider a violation of the U.S. constitution. Regardless, users have been able subvert blocks from PornHub (and select others) by using a VPN. Meanwhile, other less-regulated porn operators choose to ignore state law SB 544, and allow Montana residents to access content without having to upload ID.
Porn Addiction Statistics for the State of Montana
Despite the SB 544 law and subsequent block against Montana by PornHub, the platform maintains viewership data for all 50 U.S. states. In their most recent report, it was found that Montana ranked 44th for online porn viewership, per capita. The rate of porn viewership overall may be significantly higher, as users in Montana turn to other operators to consume sexually explicit content. These operators do not provide porn consumption statistics for media release.
Admittedly, most Montana residents are able to healthily incorporate adult content into their sex lives. However, a notable number (yourself included) are not able to do so. Statistics regarding the percentage of people who self report as being porn addicts (averaging the rates below between genders) is approximately 7%. This data indicates that more than 60,000 adult residents are unable to maintain a healthy relationship with porn. However, the number is even higher among certain population segments. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that over 35% of Montana residents live with anxiety or depression. Both are known to cooccur with problem porn use. At any rate, Montana residents join the rest of the United States in 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 )
- 11% of American men and 3% of women self-report that they are addicted to pornography ( source )
