The study by Al image generator found that New York was second when it came to consumption of X-rated content, while Texas ranked third. 'Porn consumption might seem like a private habit, but search data reveals just how differently adult content is explored across the country,' said a Kalon spokesperson, per the New York Post . Researchers compiled the list by using data from the Google Keyword Planner to analyze regions' salacious search histories. They broke them down into core categories, including online searches related to porn, online searches related to porn genres and online searches reflecting a porn curiosity.

The study also deduced how much time each states' residents spent viewing porn based on metrics from Pornhub's 2024 U.S. insights report. The scores were then combined to establish a 'Porn Engagement Score' used to rank each state and name the top-ranking porn category in each. To ensure fair comparisons across the 50 states, experts with Kalon prioritized erotic viewing per capita, giving some weight to total search volume where relevant. 'By looking at the rate of online searches, interest in specific genres, curiosity-driven terms, and average time spent watching porn, we gain a clearer picture of how people engage with sexual content online,' the Kalon spokesperson said. 'This is not about right or wrong. It is a reflection of digital behavior and cultural comfort. It shows where curiosity is more openly expressed and where it tends to stay behind closed doors.'

These US states are most likely to produce cheaters — and it's very bad news for New York
It turns out a Coldplay concert isn't the only place cheaters cheat. While New York might be best known for its bustling boroughs and look-at-me landmarks, the national treasure can now add 'player's paradise' to its resume, per new data that's crowned it the No. 1 state most likely to produce two-timers. 'Cheating-related search activity in the state is 18% above average, and it also ranks among the highest for manipulation-related searches, which are 29% higher than average,' revealed study authors from Kalon, a risqué AI-image generating hub. 6 A new study has determined that New York is the top state mostly likely to produce cheaters, owing to its residents' online searches. Prostock-studio – 'This points to a strong online interest in deceptive behavior within relationships,' continued the experts. 'What truly sets New York apart is its top position in interest related to affair websites, with search activity 29% above average.' 'Altogether, the state shows the strongest online signals of infidelity in the country.' If your romance can make it there, it'll make it anywhere — but don't hold your breath. 6 Cheating is no longer considered a crime in New York, thanks to a new bill. oneinchpunch – The Empire State's gone soft on adulterers. Governor Hochul recently decriminalized cheating, formerly a class B misdemeanor with a penalty of up to 90 days in jail, making it perfectly permissible to sleep with someone without your sweetheart's consent. Thankfully, however, insiders with the scoop on infidelity have unveiled the top telltale signs one's partner is a pig, including their weird use of emojis in text messages to random phone numbers. But researchers for Kalon were determined to tech a deeper dive into the digital habits of low-down adulterers from coast-to-coast. 6 The experts took a close look at the Google activities of folks in relationships across all 50 states. Tamani C/ – '[We] collected keyword data across three search behavior categories to identify which U.S. states are most likely to engage in infidelity,' investigators explained. 'All data was sourced from Google Keyword Planner and analyzed across three core metrics: Online Searches Related to Cheating, Online Searches Related to Manipulation, and Online Searches to Affair Websites,' they said. 'Each metric was adjusted for the number of coupled households in each state, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 American Community Survey.' Combining the results, the specialists generated a 'Cheating Search Score,' which was used to rank all 50 U.S. states. 6 Study authors determined the likelihood of infidelity in each state by how often its residents searched cheating, manipulation and affair-related content. Gorodenkoff – Alaska secured the No. 2 slot on the inglorious roster. Much like New York, the state boasts a surprisingly high rate of cheating-related and manipulation searches. 'This suggests a relationship climate marked by secrecy and control,' warned the professionals. 'While its interest in affair websites is not as strong as in other top-ranking states, Alaska's elevated activity across cheating and manipulation topics is enough to place it firmly in the number two spot.' Rounding out the top five are Nevada, Wyoming and Hawaii. Still, the analysts noted that infidelity tendencies are also rampant in Vermont, Rhode Island, Georgia, California and Oregon. 6 More rural states, such as Mississippi and Arkansas boasted the lowest likelihood for cheating. New Africa – Residents of Mississippi, however, can breathe a sigh of relief. 'Mississippi ranks last in the nation when it comes to online interest in infidelity-related topics, placing at the bottom across nearly every metric,' said the pros. 'The state shows minimal engagement with cheating-related content, while searches related to manipulation are 21% below average,' added the authorities. 'Interest in affair websites is even lower, with activity 34% below the national norm.' Trailing closely behind the Magnolia State are Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky and West Virginia. 6 A high number of midwest and southern states were found to be less likely to produce cheaters. BGStock72 – Representatives for Kalon say the findings serve as a peek into the nationwide divide on faithfulness and fidelity. 'Whether driven by temptation, dissatisfaction or quiet curiosity, the search patterns offer a striking look at how infidelity shows up across different parts of the country,' a spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Post. 'Some states show subtle signs. Others leave a loud digital trail.' 'Either way, it reveals a deeper cultural divide around commitment, secrecy, and relationship boundaries.'

New York Has Second-Most Rideshare Complaints in U.S.
Turns out, the rides may be smooth—but the support lines? Not so much Whether it's a missing phone, a mystery charge or a vanishing driver, New Yorkers are venting their rideshare rage the modern way: by frantically Googling how to get a human on the line. A new study by Florida-based personal injury law firm Blakeley Law Firm reveals that New York ranks second in the nation for customer support searches related to Uber and Lyft, racking up a whopping 89,900 monthly queries, or 450 searches per 100,000 residents. That's more than double the national average of 187. RECOMMENDED: A new ride-share app will launch with discounted drives in NYC this summer Georgia tops the list, with 452 support-related searches per 100,000 people. (We see you, Atlanta traffic.) Rounding out the top five are Maryland, Nevada and Illinois. The data, pulled from Google Keyword Planner, analyzed more than 10 common help-seeking phrases, from 'Uber lost item' to 'Lyft refund request.' And New Yorkers are clearly fed up. 'Behind each search is a rider facing an unresolved issue—whether it's a billing error, a safety concern or a lost item,' a spokesperson from Blakeley Law Firm noted in the report. 'The high concentration of support-related searches in this state suggests deeper systemic concerns with how quickly and effectively these services respond to user needs.' In a summary: The ride might be instant, but the help sure isn't. New York's notorious pace and reliance on app-based transport could be fueling the discontent, as millions depend on Uber and Lyft to zigzag across boroughs. But when something goes wrong—say, your driver ditches you on the BQE or your fare spikes mid-ride—getting actual help often feels like chasing a ghost car icon on the app. The law firm argues it's time for these companies to step up. Recommendations include more accessible support channels, better transparency and faster resolution times to rebuild rider trust. Until then, if you're feeling ghosted by customer service, you're far from alone. Just ask the other 89,899 people searching for answers.
