More than 1,000 16-21 year-olds were surveyed in the UK about their experiences of online pornography for the documentary, “Porn: What’s The Harm?” which will air on the BBC. The results: only 22% were deliberately looking for porn when they came across it for the first time; 7.3% were under 10 when they first watched porn; two thirds (62%) have found it by accident or were shown it by a friend; the majority (74%) say porn effects men’s attitude about sex; almost a quarter of young people were 12 years old or younger when they first saw porn online (24.6%) and 7.3% were under 10, with the majority of young people (60%) 14 years old or younger when they first saw porn online; almost 50% of young men who took part said that they look for porn online either all the time (i.e. every day), or quite often (i.e. once a week) but only around 10.5% of young women said the same. But around half of the women who took part (48.6%) never look for porn online – compared with only 13.3% of young men.
*Author’s note: This study shows that the current porn epidemic remains, for the time being, a largely male problem. Yet, as women continue to testify, females are imminently affected because of the porn addictions suffered by their husbands and boyfriends. Most shockingly, most young men watch porn on a daily basis. This is all reminiscent of brain-washing and mind-control techniques including “exposure treatment” and “systematic desensitization treatment.” It’s also very eerily similar to the torture procedures used in the film “A Clockwork Orange.” Therapeutically, these practices are used to treat panic disorders such as agoraphobia, but in terms of mind-control, repeated exposures to violent or sexual images results in an amoral consciousness comparable to ones found in serial killers.
