Pornography are writings, photographs etc, that are intended to cause sexual excitement. Many people use porn as ways to help them masturbate; or they just watch it because to them it's enjoyable. Watching, making and buying porn isn't illegal as you can buy porn from video stores, or through the TV channels. Also the people that make porn aren't doing anything illegal as it's their career.
Porn is something that many people watch and they do not think that there is anything bad about it, as why would they? Porn helps with people's sex lives, it helps people get intimate with other people, as well as with themselves.
Porn now has also become very accessible. You can buy porn in sex shops, you can rent it in video stores, you can subscribe to TV-channels that show porn, you can watch it on YouTube, and you can even download it from the Internet. When it is so accessible, then it is understandable how people watch it.
In the UK the legal age to have sex is 16years old, but what is the legal age to watch pornography? I ask this because, as porn is accessible to everyone to watch then any person of any age can watch it. So this to me is bad. I think that porn is acceptable for people to watch, but i think there should be an age restriction on it. Fair enough there is an age restriction on the TV-channels, and parents can put a lock on the channel, also the video stores and sex shops ask for I.D and they do not let minors go into the stores, or the adult video section. However, when it comes to going onto http://www.youtube.com/ or downloading porn anyone can do.
http://www.wisechoice.net/porn-statistics/ This website shows many statistics of pornography.
It shows that 50% of men access porn on the Internet, as there are 42million porn sites world wide, which are viewed 72million times by visitors monthly. This shows that porn is accessible to everyone, and therefore this is why it's industry is growing.
To me it's okay to watch porn if you want to, but i personally wouldn't want to watch other people have sex, when i could be having it myself!!
