At the 2003 meeting of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, a gathering of the nation’s divorce lawyers, attendees revealed that 58% of their divorces were a result of a spouse looking at excessive amounts of pornography online.
Child pornography is one of the fastest growing businesses online, and the content is becoming much worse. In 2008, Internet Watch Foundation found 1,536 individual child abuse domains.
Of 1351 pastors surveyed, 54% had viewed Internet pornography within the last year.
There are 4.2 million pornographic websites, 420 million pornographic web pages, and 68 million daily search engine requests.
50% of men and 20% of women in the church regularly view porn.
Worldwide pornography revenue in 2006 was $97.06 billion. Of that, approximately $13 billion was in the United States.
More than 11 million teens regularly view porn online.
The largest group viewing online pornography is ages 12 to 17.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhea among performers is 10x greater than that of LA County 20-24 year olds.
70% of sexually transmitted infections in the porn industry occur in females according to County of Los Angeles Public Health.
26 cases of HIV reported by Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM), since 2004.
66% of porn performers have Herpes, a non-curable disease.
2,396 cases of Chlamydia and 1,389 cases of Gonorrhea reported among performers since 2004.
Over 100 straight and gay performers died from AIDS.
36 porn stars died that we know of from HIV, suicide, homicide and drugs between 2007 and 2010.
Of all known child abuse domains, 48 percent are housed in the United States.
In addition to the general lack of morals, lack of tradition, lack of decency, lack of respect in today's society. All one has to do is watch MTV for a few hours each night. The internet has made the most horrible things easily accessible to anyone. Agreed to the poster who said get the tv and the pc out of the kids room.
i gotto say you two are brave. no one esle comments on this cause it might force us to look at our self and our behavior. thanks for your input. and mtv should get sue for all the non sense they have on tv. (hurting our children and making them think that is normal)
when you think of the girl in the video as a runaway with a family looking for her. would you still enjoy the porn ?

With statistics supposedly that high, I am quite surprised that I have not heard of one divorced couple I know where this was the reason.

As for the porn industry, none of these figure has any meaning unless we have some idea of the number of people in the business, or some reliable estimate of what it might be. The first item, for example, strikes me as very small for a period of nine years in a field of high sexual activity.
The CDC estimates that more than 16% of all Americans between ages 14 and 49 have genital herpes...that is one huge group of people.
In 2010 over 8,000 people in the U.S. died of AIDS, it would help if the 100 deaths were matched to a base population and a year (or are they the same nine-year period as above.)
The statistics need some pointing up to tell a convincing story.
I dont think it matters... This isnt 1990 where you can only go to the porn shop and get a video or magazine.
the simple fact is technology has made it easier to distribute and keep more accurate statistics.
The qualifications and standard testing in the porn world are pretty strict. You cant make a film unless you get tested. But theres idiots that disregard this because everyone has it. they arent the general poplulation though
theres also more people in the world today than ever before.
I do have morals BTW, Im only 26 and I think the younger crowd is effed, as most older groups think my group of effed.
It all comes down to parenting and ease of technology.. You cant even get a 5 year old interested in Leggos because you cant turn them on. its horrible, I LOVED Leggos. Not even going there with outdoor stuff like bicycles and go karts.
I think people think of the PC and TV as a means of babysitting, as long as the kid is there on the TV or PC hes quiet and not out in the world busting up his knees from the bicycle.
i remember as a boy my first experience with porn was hiding a magazine under the bed until no body was around then i could look at it... That is so innocent compare to today youth and what they got to deal with.
there is so much porn on internet you could go around the earth 7 times.
do you know the destruction that looking at porn does to someone brain.
Perhaps I am naive, but I don't think porn is destroying our society. I don't view porn. My husband doesn't view porn. I don't know anyone who is in porn, so the STD's don't have a direct effect on me or my family, or my segment of society at all, that I'm aware of.

It's not destroying our society. Alarmists like the OP would like us to believe it is.
I watch porn. My wife watches porn. You dont watch porn, nor does your husband. I bet we both function at the same level in social circles. Some sicko that wants to harm kids would do it with or without porn.
It's the same hyperbole you see any time there is a question of morality.
