Average age of first Internet exposure to pornography 11 years old


As if adding the word, "Internet" makes a difference? By the age of 11, I almost guarantee every kid has seen porn, even if they've never touched a computer. There are these things called girly mags that no matter how hidden Dad thinks they are, horny little preteens somehow get hold of.

It cracks me up that we're supposed to believe that the exposure of minors to porn is a new phenomenon brought about by the advent of the Internet. Minors have been ogling naked chicks and sexual content since the days of French postcards for fuck's sake! The only difference now is that web pages don't get stuck together!

ROTFL Rox! So true!

[Vick]

Porn and Football (Real American Football not that soccer stuff)

Ahhh maybe Football can count as softcore porn as there are hot cheerleaders!!! in skimpy outfits

amd again just like last year and every year prior and until the end of the world there is NO PLACE FOR MALE CHEERLEADERS IN THE NFL!!!!

Child pornography generates $3 billion annually

It would seem like CP woud be hard to track without arresting everyone.

[sarettah]

Well, there is always a slant.... In this case, the website is trying to sell internet filters to parents..... So, the "nasty" numbers are probably inflated towards worst case.... But all of them are probably "swag" for the most part......

From the top of the page....

Dont think for one sec that they cant monitor requests via stuff like p2p.
I know of one company based in atlanta that has a contract with Sony that does nothing but monitor p2p traffic.

Phone sex is still bigger than internet...Would not have guessed that...although is dialer revenue internet or phone?

I know about Big Champagne and P2P pervs but that's not what we are talking about. I'm talking about them tracking the dollar transactions on Cp. If they can track dollar transactions then surely they can catch the same people spending and making the money.

[sarah_webinc]

the only difference between now and 15 years ago was that back then I had to sneak down the stairs in the middle of the night and turn on Showtime and Cinemax to watch barely censored movies. Now, they just turn on the computer in their bedrooms.

I would think that most of them are swag at best.....

Money in this industry would be hard to track..... I don't think most business names that earnings are reported under indicate any association with the adult industry...

I know that when I worked for the "big guys", the company names were extremely nondescript designed to pull the least amount of scrutiny possible and that we always went after at least a small percentage of mainstream business....
