54 % of content on world wide web is porn
yes guy this i what i have heard in one of the news channel in Indian (headlines today)
where a cyber expert say that according to one report 54% of content on internet is porn

and in India one of the cartoon porn website is blocked which use to get around 60 millions hits p/m

[Mynameis...]

This is pathetic and immoral. I know that this field has a huge number of customers, but I feel sorry for these duped people whether it were customers or the people working in the field. First, these customers are losing their times and money on these kind of contents. These are immoral acts and there should be a law that prevents the formation of these vicious websites. Hope that this may end & let all people go find a decent job for them, and not just stupid jobs that doesn't relate to human kind at all.

[Fergal]

There is obviously lots of adult related content on the net, but I'd be surprised if it accounted for over half of total online content. Do you really think it's that high?

yes Fergal, it is very high. These type of content should be limited and people who are promoting these kind of work should be ban.

yes ....Fergal when i heard it i could not believe it ...but who was saying it was cyber crime expert ...that what maid me believe in it

and i really think its very high ....i use to think it some were between 1 to 5 %

[jwhitakr]

What does the 54% represent? 54% of the total data on the web? I could believe that, since pictures and video are much larger sized that text and smaller graphics found on regular sites.

[Norrad]

I would have thought it would be a higher total. Porn is a huge industry and people make good money from it.

[rohit_rocks]

The site in India which is banned now is -- savitabhabhi.com
i too visited this site, and it contains cartoon porn stories which is described in picturized form.

I guess I would take exception to "good money" for many reasons. This is one of them. (http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/mostpopular/news-article.aspx?storyid=139523&provider=top)

While I've thought about starting an adult website in the past, that is where I draw the line. Child porn is probably the most immoral and disgusting thing there is.

Thankfully they've been caught, hopefully they'll never have the opportunity to harm others again.

That is truly disturbing. I would hope that those figures are greatly exaggerated. It's difficult to imagine that so many people would want to view content like that.

[Norrad]

Well here in Thailand, hardly a day goes past without some Peadophile being arrested for abusing young children. I think it's sick and perpetrators should be castrated or given life sentences.

[Gamer316]

I don't know the exact percentage but I to have heard on several occassions that its over half and even near 3/4 of the content. I think one source even claimed that for every regular non-porn site there is two adult material sites.

i feel there should be ban on Prostitution and Pornography

as they are the big problem in the society

under the business of Prostitution ....how may innocent people are exploited

This is not meant to defend pornography but let's be realistic: there wouldn't be a single porn site on the Web if there wasn't a market for it.

As for prostitution, it's as old as humanity. Isn't it called "world's oldest profession"? Legal prohibition hasn't ended it and I don't believe it ever will because there's much more to it than the simple selling of a "service". A different approach would do a lot better: eliminating the causes and problems associated with it instead of prohibiting or banning.


under the business of Prostitution ....how may innocent people are exploited

How many innocent people are exploited under all kind of businesses? Third World Countries peasants working for cents a day, slave miners, immigrants paid lower wages in First World Countries, just to mention a few.

In the name of "freedom", "democracy" and "religion"... how many innocent people were abused, raped or killed?

[Fergal]

...i feel there should be ban on Prostitution and Pornography

Most countries do have a ban on prostitution. The sad fact is that this doesn't stop sex-workers (who are mostly vulnerable women) from being exploited. In fact it is a major factor that contributes to their exploitation.

If prostitution was legalised, sex-workers would have legal rights and they could turn to the authorities if these rights were abused. Sadly when prostitution is illegal, these vulnerable women find it very difficult to turn to the authorities when they are victimised and abused.

The fact that prostitution is illegal, drives the business underground and puts it in the hands of criminals. Again contributing to the exploitation of innocent people.

If governments insist on criminalising the business they should at least have the decency and courage to do it in a way that doesn't contribute to the exploitation and victimisation of vulnerable women. The way to do this is to make it illegal to use the services of a prostitute but not illegal to work as a prostitute. This would allow sex-workers to seek help and protection from the authorities when they need it, while at the same time allow the government to declare the activity illegal.

I agree that prostitution should be legalized. However, to make it illegal for the "johns" and not for the hookers won't work in the US. Here, if you are a participant in a crime, you are just as culpable as the perpetrator.

If prostitution was legalized, it would not only serve to protect the hookers, it would also help protect the Johns. The government could require the prostitutes to have frequent checkups for STDS and to be licensed. They could set both age rules and rules concerning place of business which would help curtail teenage prostitution and keep the prostitutes off the street.

[scifi]

I had heard that prostitution is already a legalized activity in many countries already...As such one can not think of banning the same..However what we can do is to promote awareness among people to reduce its terrific growth rate ....

[DEADMAN]

Maybe because you don't go Porn sites or have browsing to it. Same for me, because the percentage may be quite wrong. I'm afraid it's more than a half.

But sometimes accidently when sites appear through normal sites too, there are thousands of links to such site when browsing one. Then when browsing another, there are other new links.

[pendelton]

When I see percentages like that I have to ask, What all is considered adult/porn?

People have differing levels of what they would consider to be porn. youtube isn't a porn site, per se, but has questionable materials.

Some people consider scantily clad people, think bathing suits, to be porn, as the amount of skin exposed is sometimes very high.

[DEADMAN]

Good catch pendelton. But, it's really taking height as porn. Now, Most of the time, a celebrity exposing or wearing exposed clothes is more than a porn. People seek more of these video, can have high rates and downloads.

[spitty]

very nice topic!indeed sex sells.it's everywhere,not only on internet.if you look at commercials,there's always a half naked girl selling something.It's disturbing that internet porn is so easy to reach for so many.this can not be healthy.Our kids will all be having sex at 10 years old!

[Draker]

This is topic? That's off-topic :P
But seriously, porn is working, because of us. It couldn't be stoped, because many guys like watching some porn from time to time.

[Sahil]

Well Fergal as you have already said that it is a family friendly forum, I think we wouldn't be discussion such topics here, I am very afraid of such things discussed or seen on the net and it is shameful of us that such topics takes 53% of whole of net.

I think the one only step we can take against it to stop offshore hosting, on offshore hosting the sites like this are hosted.

To Syed - Indian New channels never have a news that is why they discuss such things there they do not also know that who is watching such things.

[kutuhiphop]

ahahahaha.....its not really shocking though....

but obviously it is a disgrace....

but by opening a porn site, u easily get a huge traffice to your website and get some advertise from other people right?

Take away porn, you'll just increase the underground business of prostitution and create the underground porn biz. Too many people love sex. There is nothing you can do to stop people from loving, wanting, and needing sex.. period.

Question: What do you guys think is Child Porn? I'm assuming most people think it's anyone who is under the age of 18 having sex on (still or video) camera. This is true, in the U.S. But what about other countries? I know other countries laws allow people to have sex with "Young adults" as young as 14 to 17.. I dont know the porn laws outside of the U.S. but do you think they allow those 14-17 year olds to have sex in front of a camera? or its considered child porn? I dont know.. If that country says its not child porn, then its not child porn. Just because a U.S. laws says so it dont mean it child porn.. International laws on child porn, I got no clue.. International laws on sex, no clue too. I doubt there are any international laws on child porn and what ages someone has the right to have sex with another human being.

I agree, but gotta be fair for both parties as another poster said. If It's a crime, and if both knowingly did something "wrong" -according to society-, both should pay the price. Can’t treat the person who is providing the service, as a victim. It’s saying a drug dealer is ok, but not the person who is buying it?


I agree that prostitution should be legalized. However, to make it illegal for the "johns" and not for the hookers won't work in the US. Here, if you are a participant in a crime, you are just as culpable as the perpetrator.

totally agreed.

I agree not exposing anything related to sex to kids, but we all should know the parents have full control of the kids lives until they're 18 or an legal adult (for other countries). If parents supervised the children better and right then the parents can dictate what's exposed to them. If anything "wrong" is exposed to the children the parents can explain what’s wrong and right. The PC has internet parental blocking tools, and the TV has parental blocking tools. As for other things like magazines, ect., the parents should have a lot more control in the real world than the digital world. Other than that it's the parents fault for neglecting children or putting the parents responsibilities on corporations and government, when its not there job to be the parents.. The parents’ responsibilities is the parent, plain and simple.

I do agree that the government should get a bit more involved with having real age verification for adult material websites, but that’s it.. As for the internet is the #1 place where kids get their free porn. Other than that in the old days it was playboy/magazines, which parents again has more control of the real world.

Porn exposed to children can get unhealthy I agree.. but for some it wont. it's 50/50 I think, it depends on how they take the information they see from porn, ether as real or fantasy. Taking it as fantasy is better and healthier than taking it as real, same thing with anything else. Porn's goal is for pure fantasy for adults, or even teaching young legal adults on what to try when you want to explore more in sexual activities.

[simplyjo]

Hehee.. well porn does have a good market hold. This just goes to prove it.

in majority of child porn usually children are under 14 th years

I understand. But let's say the U.S. raised the legal age limit to having sex or/and performing in porn, and considered a legal adult.. to like 30.. or whatever.. that means anything under 30 is considered child porn under U.S. Law...right?

So child porn overseas, off U.S. soil, is not considered Child Porn at all.. Child Porn laws for us in the U.S. is people under the age of 18, right now... Other countries may be 14, 15, 16, or 17. So if we see child porn sites being shut down outside the U.S. and they have something like 17 yr old girls, but their government says its OK... then we the U.S. have no business in that. The only business we got in that is we can block access to all U.S. residents, that's it... that's all we can do legally. Yea we can call them sick or whatever, but they're following the laws, dont blame the business, blame the consumers. If there is no consumers to buying the product there is no business. Dont like it go to the government and protest about it..

Not trying to have an attitude or trying to be rude I just hate it when people call everything that is under 18 performers is child porn, but clearly it's not, it's based on the government's law.. And U.S. law is not world wide. (not trying to put words into anyone mouth's I just feel that people think the U.S. has the Ultimate power of the planet which isnt true.. It's the people, all people.) Again sorry to go off that way.

[Thador]

I don't believe that 54 % of content on internet is porn, but "54 % of content on internet is adult related" sounds more reliable(this includes porn, erotica, sex shops, articles, adult dating sites, etc.)

[pakidesigner]

this is not right news. Indian channels are not truth worthy.

[Kibby]

Yes I've know for quite some time that it was 54%. But it's just pathetic that we've gotten to this stage. I think that about $20 Million US is spent on porn every second. If we just used 10% of that money on something worth while we could practically eliminate poverty and world hunger.
