That is what I have in statistics. I did watch a few programs and some are calling it an epidemic. The net has quite a lot on the issue but I have not collected any other stats. RegardsDL

Training! Did you listen to the "training" that young men are training themselves for? Money shots and what not. I am so glad I am not young. RegardsDL

There does seem to be a lot of crap on the internet, but my understanding is that most porn sites are not free. I don't know how many kids have credit cards, but I don't expect very many are going to be willing to pay very much for porn.
The biggest victims of porn are children and those who are powerless that are being exploited to produce it. It seems unlikely that the U.S. or any other country could actually censor the WWW (World Wide Web). How would you stop free citizens from looking at web sites in other countries? The only people who can stop kids from accessing porn on the web are their parents. I wonder how much my grandson sees on his computer at home, (he built his own) and there is no way to control what he sees when he is at someone else's house. Parents can explain to their kids about pornography....that it is not a reflection of real life sex and how it is exploitive of the people in it, but parents should be putting everything on the web in perspective for their kids. You do your best to give your kids a set of values, but eventually they will grow up and make their own decisions.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

I showed that as high as 50% of children between 12 and 25 are being affected to the point of dysfunction and addiction And this
I did watch a few programs and some are calling it an epidemic 'Some' would, but that's not particularly useful. I've no doubt that a lot of kids watch porn but I'd like to know more before calling it a highly damaging epidemicJe suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif.

... but my understanding is that most porn sites are not free. Your understanding is wrong.
The biggest victims of porn are children and those who are powerless that are being exploited to produce it. = very few people; a small percentage of those who actually appear in pornographic images/videos/other content.
It seems unlikely that the U.S. or any other country could actually censor the WWW (World Wide Web). How would you stop free citizens from looking at web sites in other countries? The Chinese do it and it's not really that hard. If the signal you're sending/receiving ever hits a physical location within the boarders of your country, then your government can censor what you view online. A direct satellite connection might help you work around this, but even with that your access would be limited.
...that it is not a reflection of real life sex and how it is exploitive of the people in it So they should lie to their kids?Love your enemies!

This internet porn thing is reminiscent of the warnings we had and ignored about that evil swivel-hips Elvis character and his demon cohort Buddy Holly. They not only ruined the moral fabric of an entire generation of American youth they set the stage for the free-love hippy demon-morality generations to come totally destroying the very underpinnings of moral American society.
As a consequence we ended up with a totally screwed up society just like all the others in generations past ... but with better music.

I don't know how many kids have credit cards, but I don't expect very many are going to be willing to pay very much for porn. Maybe Jon is right. Nah. But, you do need to get out more. Three of the biggest most popular porn sites on the net are free and they contain, so I'm told ... by other people, so many "categories" as to keep a dedicated 10-year old enthralled until he gets out of high school.
The biggest victims of porn are children and those who are powerless that are being exploited to produce it. That continues, in spades, I'm sure. The most interesting thing to my It's a human thing and there is no stopping it.
...but parents should be putting everything on the web in perspective for their kids. You do your best to give your kids a set of values, but eventually they will grow up and make their own decisions. So true.

so I'm told Why rely on what you're told? Just do a simple experiment. I googled 'porn' (does it get simpler than that?) The first five links (so I didn't have to scroll) all went to free porn video websites. It appears each one contains enough material that one could watch the videos non-stop 24/7 back to back and still not see them all in their lifetimefor each site! Seeing this, I can imagine only an idiot would pay for their porn. And given how easy it was to find, I cannot imagine many children are having difficulty so long as their browsing is not restricted through some sort of filter.Love your enemies!

Intelligent reply. Thanks. Censorship is relatively easy. Try to find any child porn and see how hard it is. You might review that first link as the expert speaks of how most parents are not teaching children about sex or porn. Even if all parents were qualified to do that teaching, a % of kids will always ignore the warnings. Censorship or restricted access is what is required and we do not have that. We could easily have it but adults are self-centered and do not care about the welfare of our children if it is to cost them one of their pleasures, it seems. RegardsDL

Understood. You have access to the greatest education tool yet devised just as I do. Gary Wilson indicated that because of the newness of research, statistics were hard to come by but the net is providing more and more on this issue daily and hopefully better statistics will pop up. At present we have a lot of workers in the sex dysfunction field and they are the ones calling it an epidemic. News agencies are as well but are not quoting stats. RegardsDL

No argument. I do not find this issue an amusing one and am not in that mindset when discussing it. RegardsDL
