High income cities have an average (visit) duration of 9 minutes and 54 seconds, while their lower income counterparts lasted on average 11 minutes and 5 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The high income city with the longest duration is Trenton, NJ at 11 minutes and 9 seconds, while the low income city with the longest visits is Monroe, LA, at 12 minutes and 4 seconds. On the flip-side, the well-to-do in Boulder, CO had come and gone in only 7 minutes 30 seconds, followed closely by New Yorkers who enjoyed an extra 10 seconds of Porn. Cumberland, MD was the low income city quickest on the trigger, lasting only 10 minutes, 3 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>*Slower internet connection speeds in low income cities may explain the longer visit durations.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

Prosperous porn aficionados in Napa, CA looked at 9.02 pages before they were satisfied, whereas the more modest earners in Pine Buff, AK were there in only 8.14 pages.<\/p>\n<h2>3.
