The data are for online porn subscriptions. Because Utah is Utah, it has a dearth of porn stores and dirty mags on the shelves, etc. Thus many people in Utah have little choice but to go online for porn. Maybe the overall rate of porn consumption is higher in Utah that many there would like to think. But it being first on the list for online is probably at least partly a product of state laws and local community standards.

Contrary to popular belief, not everybody gets their porn online. If they did, those stores wouldn't still be around.
