And further more why do more men than women love it so much! In quiet spaces and unknown places ladies are keen on this Pandora's box as well. Shhhh... don't tell anybody.
The truth of the matter is that 1 in 3 Porn viewers are Women. Unsurprisingly 70% of Men watch Porn on the internet in 1 Month. Every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography. 12% of the Internet websites are pornographic, that's 24,644,172 sites. 40 million Americans are regular visitors to porn sites.
20% of Men admitted to watching porn while at work.
Not to mention that more than 60% of print advertising like the photo of this Yves Saint Laurent Poster uses sex as the draw. (Photo provided by Daily Mail) Why? Because it sells in a world that has created its foundation around sex. This advertisement received more than 730 complaints to the ASA for it's sexual imagery. But in comparison to the number of porn viewers in a day; more than tripled the amount of people who view themselves as moral consumers who disliked the sexual content of these types of ads.
And the worst of my findings is that Sunday is the most popular day that porn is watched online.
Is it possible that the world is obsessed with being obsessed? This would explain why so many people have problems in their relationships and communicating with the opposite sex. Even further since Men "supposedly" run the world; it gives light to why so many Women are brain washed to believe that prostitution of any kind is an "OPTION" as a career choice. The stats are alarming but true. Could sex be destroying the standards and integrity of the world?
What do you think? Do you think its ruining the fiber of what this country was built or is it just entertainment?
I'd like to hear from you!

I had some strong feelings about what you wrote. Mainly because I'm not sure where your coming from as a writer. Your headline asks a question (I think it's a question, but there's no punctuation) -- making it seem as though we're about to read an unbiased article. But the content makes it pretty clear where you fall along that line. Which is fine, obviously you believe porn is bad, but I'm not sure what stats having to do with the money spent on porn have to do with your position. If I earn my money legally and choose to spend it on an endeavor that's also legal, why is that even part of the argument? If 20 percent of men admit watching porn at work, isn't that the employer's problem? How do you think those numbers stack up to the man hours wasted on Facebook during the work day? Does that make Facebook evil? What exactly is the position you're putting forward? I only ask, because it's not clearly stated in the article. You throw out stats without any explanation as to how they advance your position.
No matter how many times I read this, this makes no grammatical sense: "But in comparison to the number of porn viewers in a day; more than tripled the amount of people who view themselves as moral consumers who disliked the sexual content of these types of ads."
Now regarding the "worst of your findings," the bit about viewing porn on Sundays. Again, a statement with no explanation. I'm guessing that you're saying that for religious reasons.
And somehow you make the transitional leap to prostitution (huh?) without any clear trail that lead to the point.
I always believe in someone's right to believe in what they believe in, but I respect it more when it based on reasoning and facts. And if it's because you're a Christian and believe porn is immoral, then you should say so. In your post you kind of dance around that, but never state it.
Having said that.. my thoughts on your article:
-- What's wrong with the advertising picture you showed. Is there something immoral or wrong with the naked female figure? As a photographer myself, I view that picture as artistic and beautiful. Centuries ago, the majority of the work artists painted were nudes. They're considered classic art. Why is or should this be different? I'd bet you could find people who would interpret your Blogger profile pic -- shot with a clear view of your cleavage with a pouty look on your face -- to be lascivious.
-- Regarding porn. Is it your position that it's impossible for two consenting adults to have a healthy sexual relationship where one or the other consumes porn? Or consumes porn together? It happens all the time. Maybe not in your relationships, but why should you judge someone else's? I'm not staking a position as far as that goes, but I will say that I don't want the government in my bedroom and I sure as hell don't want someone else making moral judgments for me either. Again, we're talking about a LEGAL endeavor. Are you proposing we somehow ban it? Not the country I want to live in. Once they step on those rights, that's the Pandora's Box that you'd really be upset about opening up.
In response briefly to your post:
I believe that because such a large focus in our society is centered on SEX it clouds the judgement and choices of a majority of young women. Most people write about what they know well this is what i know. I know that a large majority of young women sell themselves to the highest bidder based on learned behavior that has been taught from media in our society. Whether it be Advertising or Pornography there is a very fine line of the way these messages are decoded in the minds of young women. If I do X then I will gain X. If you want to believe that this is not happening then your not being real with whats going on in this world.
I'm not against Porn but its interesting to see how much time and money is wasted on these sites. Its free information that I'm sharing. The stats about Sunday is just that a Stat. Not my personal opinion about it just public information. The picture in the advertisement sends a number of different messages depending on who's looking at it. The photo clearly backs up that society believes that if we sell sex then we will sell alot of this item. I can look at it and say "Oh its a sexy picture". But because all people don't share the same perceptions it can be viewed by some like my grandfather who is 80 as a pornographic photo. There was actually more information about having it banned as it symbolized porn to a certain number of viewers.
But anyway it was a litmus test to see how people feel about Porn personally. Personally do you use it a a Reference Tool or do you believe it to be immoral. Sounds like you like it and use it and that's fine.
