Adult websites are not a product of the recent modern period, but they have been around since a very long time. The only difference between then and now is that now, there are many pornographic websites on the Internet. And although these websites are called 'adult' websites, they are being viewed by people of all age groups, including minors.
The astonishing rise in pornographic content on the Internet has led to porn addiction in a variety of viewers. Porn addiction can be a huge problem since it can cause sexual disabilities and stress and also collapse relationships, especially with one's spouse or partner. Due to these very reasons, many religious and social organisations are against pornography. Those who fall prey to porn addiction usually feel ashamed to seek any help at all, and therefore end up never speaking about it.
This addiction rate lies between five to eight per cent among adult porn viewers. And not only are the viewers men, but approximately one-third of these viewers are women as well. As much as 25% of queries on search engines are related to porn or sexually explicit content, as well as around 35% downloads are of the same nature.
Without a doubt, pornography has now become an industry of its own. With many people talking comfortably about pornstars, it has become acceptable for a lot of people out there to view pornography as an industry and profession. The infographic below will help you realise where Internet pornography is at the current stage.
