The
ones afflicted with this aliment are those who
tend to be psychologically addicted or dependant
on pornography. It constitutes of symptoms such
as monomaniacal viewing, reading and thinking
of pornography which will eventually be prejudicial
towards one’s life in whole. Around the globe,
every second there are 28,258 Net users who
are viewing pornography.
However, since the induction of the Internet,
it has allowed for much more convenient transfers
of files across the world. With the mainstreaming
of broadband, gone are the days when people
pop down
to the neighborhood video store and |
|
purchase a tape or DVD pornography. With just
a click of their mouse, large archives of adult
videos could be easily accessed. This has led
to an increasing amount of underage viewers
as online pornography offers much more privacy
for the viewers, without the need of age checks
(even with the various confirmations on the
pornography websites, a simple and dishonest
selection of age would easily bypass this dispensable
check).
Furthermore, given the fact that online pornography
is much more accessible (4.2 million, or 12%
of the total number of websites on the Internet
are pornography sites), more hardcore,
have a wider range and variety of adult videos,
and with the concealment it offers, some psychologists
argue that online pornography is much stronger
and addictive than ordinary pornography. To
quell their desire and addiction, the addicts
consistently spend inordinate amounts of time
online sourcing for newer or increasingly hardcore
pornography.
The influence of the pornography/adult
industry could not be understated either. Such
is the revenue they generate that the number
of pornography sources will only be increasing,
not going down. |
