Brief Background of Pornography in Oklahoma
Pornography is legal for sale, distribution, and viewing in Oklahoma. However, on November 1, 2024, Oklahoma state Senate Bill 1959 went into effect to require pornographic websites to request proof of age verification. Those who want to access porn on platforms such as PornHub or Xhamster (et cetera) must upload state-issued identification. In defiance, PornHub has now blocked website and app access to any IP address in Oklahoma. Users within the state are now only able to get on these platforms by using a virtual private network (VPN). Others are turning to less “reputable” streaming platforms, which is problematic for cybersecurity reasons.
Porn Addiction Statistics for the State of Oklahoma
Prior to SB 1959, PornHub reported that Oklahoma ranked 23rd in the entire United States for online porn viewership, per capita. During this period, the state ranked higher in terms of subscriptions, ranked 5th in the nation for paid access to pornography. PornHub’s recent embargo may deter the causal consumer, but those who have a problematic relationship will go to great lengths to access content even if compulsive use cooccurs with an increased risk to cybersecurity. This segment of the population is larger than most think.
Statistics regarding the percentage of people who self-report as being porn addicts (averaging the rates below between genders) is estimated at 7%. This data indicates that more than 221,400 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 about 47.5% of Oklahoma residents live with anxiety or depression. Both are known to coexist in individuals who struggle with porn use. At any rate, the Oklahoma populous joins the rest of America 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 )
- 11% of American men and 3% of women self-report that they are addicted to pornography ( source )
- More than 30% of surveyed companies have terminated employees for
inappropriate use of the Internet, including porn consumption ( source ) - 93% of males and 62% of females are exposed to online pornography during their teenage years (source).
