A recent study has revealed that Twitter users in southern states engage most with OnlyFans content — content that is often sexually explicit. Coincidentally, many of these states have also tried passing laws restricting access to explicit adult content.
The study examined Twitter engagement over the last six months with over 4 million tweets containing either #OnlyFans hashtags or links to OnlyFans content.
The study then listed the top 10 states whose Twitter users most engaged with OnlyFans-related tweets. They are listed (from most engaged to least) below.
Just for fun, we marked states that have either tried to or successfully passed laws restricting adult content access with an “X,” states that are among the 10 with the highest HIV rates with an “H,” and states with laws forbidding LGBTQ+ content in schools with an “L.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
- Georgia (X, H)
- Nevada (H)
- Mississippi (X, H, L)
- Louisiana (X, H, L)
- Texas (X, H, L)
- California
- Florida (X, H, L)
- North Carolina (H)
- Illinois
- New York
You’ll notice that five of the seven southern states above have tried restricting adult content. You’ll also notice that all seven have the highest rates of HIV in the United States, and five of the ten have laws forbidding LGBTQ+ content in schools.
Why does this matter? They’re all likely connected.
At least two studies have found that Google searches for sexually explicit terms tend to be higher in states with higher percentages of religious and political conservatives, like red states.
While it’s hilarious to think of red states as hypocritically seeking out sexy OnlyFans content, it could also be that their citizens are seeking it out precisely because they live in prudish socio-political climates that demonize adult content as “immoral” or “unhealthy.”
This anti-sex attitude is undoubtedly behind five of these states banning LGBTQ+ content in schools through so-called “No Promo Homo” or “Don’t Say Gay” laws, as well. The lack of education about sexuality and sexual health likely also contributes to them having the highest HIV rates in the nation.
Recently, five of the states that are hottest for OnlyFans on Twitter have tried restricting explicit adult content.
Georgia legislators tried to ban the production or distribution of adult content, but a state constitutional court judge recently ruled the law was too vague to be enforced (giving them until May 2023 to clarify it). The Mississippi Senate passed a bill requiring age checks for explicit adult websites. The bill, which is similar to one being considered in Florida, is based on a recently instated Louisiana law. Meanwhile, Texas’s rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Gov. Greg Abbott has called for criminal investigations into school libraries that offer “obscene content.”
All this is alarming because it’s a growing trend: the 2020 Republican national platform supports states seeking to fight explicit sexual content. Sixteen state legislatures (mostly red and Republican-led) have passed non-binding resolutions declaring adult content as a “public health issue.”
And in 2021, the anti-adult content organization National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) successfully pressured OnlyFans to drop all of its adult content after it encouraged a Republican representative to send a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) asking the DOJ to investigate OnlyFans for criminal activity. OnlyFans quickly backtracked after widespread outcry and mockery. But nonetheless, NSOCE has continued pursuing its stated goal of putting all adult content associates out of business.
While all this is concerning, perhaps this OnlyFans study has a silver lining. After all, if the citizens of southern states are so busy enjoying sexual content creators on Twitter, perhaps they’ll oppose legislators who try to restrict such content.

Queerty, when do we get to discuss trans woo-woo and dylan mulvaney? Your censorship of the issues is as maddening as Trump’s or any right wing loon trying to shut down debate, but you claim to be on the left and progressive!!!
Most of us on the gender critical left over here in the UK really don’t give a fvck if blokes want to dress up as the opposite sex and wa.nk whilst viewing themselves as thus in the mirror, really we don’t- it’s a sexual kink called autogyniphilia and that’s fine. But don’t dictate to us that this sexual kink is progressive and socialist, cos it’s not, and don’t attempt to stop debate around this issue, or to shut down discussion whether narcissistic creeps like dylan mulvaney are mocking women or not.

Please, you keep broaching and harping on Dylan Mulvaney. You are OBSESSED. Please, take this obsession elsewhere. Like, start a Reddit group or Twitter fan page or Instagram feed focusing on her. Go hog wild! But please stop hijacking every thread to turn it into your Dylan Mulvaney obsession-fest.

Bro she is just not that into you, let it go

Short answer, Tallskin………… When you grow up and become a gentleman, call her and ask her out on a date.
Just change your name again and she might say yes. Then ask her all the burning questions you have in that little brain of yours.

Tallskin,
Trans “women” are OBSESSED with mockIng real women. Take abfab and Kangol for instance. They’d dik bomb a women’s sports team and locker room in a NY second, cruelly putting some women who have been sexualy abused by men in horror and at risk, flaunt their junk in the women’s showers, and walk out like they own the place. Not giving it a second thought.
I think it’s important to shine the light on those who are destroying LGBTQ etc from every angle. Libs and conservatives alike hate these guys’ bathroom behaviors and they are taking LGB down bc of it. They all flunked potty training 101 and the masses attacking gays drag queens etc is the result. Trans aren’t even gay. They’re a total mind fuk with nothing to say for themselves bc there is no defense.
The trans dik bombers need to be banned from women’s sports and locker rooms nation wide protecting real women’s rights. Stat.

Dip.
You are one sick fuk. If you’re going to compose an essay, first learn how to do so by taking a class. You’re all over the place and the cracks continue to show each time you write. Stop. These are important issues but when you write about them, you erode them.

Girl, did Dylan Mulvaney hurt you in some way? if not, this obsession is bordering on ridiculousness. Therapy is wise.

Back to the topic!
It’s no wonder that the self-flagellating states search for porn, they love the stuff they’re not supposed to have. Even though it’s perfectly okay to have. Their sexual self-martyrdom is modeled by their supposed pain-loving Jesus Christ.
If there was a guy named Jesus, and if Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ is any way representative what Christ and other criminals were treated like; Jesus was not enjoying it.
Even Christ’s passion lasted only for day. It’s not like he went on a 100+ day hunger strike ending in death like Bobby Sands. Lots of people have actually suffered more the Christ.
In fact, these right-wing numbskulls suffer much more than Christ ever did.
