Pornography – A way of Life?

Something is missing. Young teenagers, even kids ten or eleven year old (or even younger!) act differently. The way they walk, talk and act has changed. They are not shy. They are not innocent. They are not … children. No, not all of them, but so many of them. Some get into serious trouble; some act out with deviant behavior you’d find unthinkable.

There are so many problems, and they are so often inter-related. But we’re not going to get into a discussion here about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, or the violent influences of gangs. We are going to analyze another insidious influence: pornography.

It’s on the displays on their mobile phones, in the songs they listen to, in magazines and books, DVDs and, of course, on-line. “Pornography is a way of life” says Gian Carlo Scalisi of 21Sextury Productions. And who knows that better than a porn producer? Don’t you believe it?

Let’s take a look at a terrifying statistics (according to Jerry Ropelato, CEO of Top10 Reviews):

4.2 million pornography sites – 12% of all sites on the worldwide web
2.5 billion pornographic emails sent daily – 8% of all email
Pornography is a $57 billion industry worldwide
Men admitting to accessing pornography at work – 20%
US adults who visit Internet pornography websites regularly – 40 million (!)
Adults admitting Internet sexual addiction – 10%
Breakdown of male/female visitors to pornography sites – 72% male, 28% female
So pornography is indeed pervasive in our adult culture. But the real tragedy is that porn is increasingly pervasive in children’s lives: /p>

Average age of first Internet exposure to pornography: 11 years old
Largest consumer group for Internet pornography: 12-17 year olds
15-17 year olds having multiple hard-core exposures: 80%
8-16 year olds having viewed porn online – 90% (most while doing homework)

Now what’s wrong with this picture? Is your child an on-line porn consumer? Probably yes, even if you don’t think so.
