Pornography

Pretty much from the start this topic links into my previous post on masturbation as though porn does create jobs and is a growing industry the main reason for porn is to excite people. I’m not saying excite in an action film kind of way, I’m looking at it in a more party in my pants kind of way.

Porn existed many years ago, yes even before the invention of VHS, DVD and even you guessed it, the internet. Amazing isn’t it people used to secretly choke their chickens to porn even before the use of video.

First it was very simply more voyeuristic in essence, watching people literally having sex where they would pay, like a peep show (not the TV series, sex is not generally comedic, unless it is REALLY bad or someone falls off the bed/couch/seat or out of a car).

After this came images, be they on canvas or more standard images such as photographs.

Then we get to the standard these days, video. Originally it was generally focused around the borrowing and purchasing of these ‘dirty’ videos. Then as the internet became more accessible porn became an amazingly lucrative business as there are countless videos that people are willing to pay to view.

Paying to view content is around all over the place, if you have any sort of TV or computer you have access to it. On TVs you just have to go to the last channels on the list and there they are, the ‘dirty’ channels, the adult channels, those you were told never to go near when you were younger. All the same you went on them to find yourself either strangely fascinated or repulsed.

The statistics are truly staggering. According to compiled numbers from respected news and research organizations, every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography. Every second 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography. In that same second 372 internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines. Every 39 minutes a new pornographic video is being created in the U.S.

It’s big business. The pornography industry has larger revenues than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple and Netflix combined. 2006 Worldwide Pornography Revenues ballooned to $97.06 billion. 2006 & 2005 U.S. Pornography Industry Revenue Statistics, 2006 Top Adult Search Requests, 2006 Search Engine Request Trends are some of the other statistics revealed here.

In my opinion porn isn’t a bad thing. On the contrary I think porn is actually a pretty good force in the world, instead of becoming frustrated sexually you can let off some steam, so to speak.

In this day and age no industry is safe from the economic crisis
