"42.7% of internet users view porn." Undertracked......

It's actually probably pretty close...lots of little kids who don't even know what porn is view the internet too...and they count as a percentage of internet users just like you and I do.

"17% of women say they are addicted to porn"

"Over 200,000 Americans are porn addicts"

Those two statements don't add up.


The porn addicts definition they give it watching at least 11 hours of porn a week.

But in a survey asking women simply if you struggle with addiction, 17% of those surveyed said yes. The survey sample could be 1000 for all we know, the source might be at the bottom of the article but I don't feel like looking.

Still doesn't add up, they say that 102 million people view porn.  They then say 28% of porn viewers are women.  That's like 28,560,000 women who watch porn.  If 17% of these struggle with addiction, that would be 4,855,200 women alone who struggle with addiction to porn, yet there are only 200,000 males and females who are actually addicted?

Something is clearly wrong with their definition of addict when the difference between actual addicts and number of people who think they struggle with addiction is that far off.

Well the whole deal is that this article is total anti-porn, so they will create surveys and what not to make it seem bad.

So imagine a survey gets sent to you and asks blatantly "Are you a woman and do you struggle with pornography addiction?" This doesn't mean that 17% of all women have struggled, just 17% of those surveyed.

The statement that over 200,000 Americans are porn addicts is totally different from the women argument.





lol, the source is "onlinepyschologydegree.net".

That's why I think it's undertracked. I think the majority of internet users view or have viewed porn, so the percentage seems low to me.

If 42.7 % of the internet say they view porn then that means 57.3% of the internet is lying ;)

I don't get why people think the number is so far off...lots of kids who don't view porn use the internet...lots of older people don't view porn on the internet...I know several people my age including myself that don't view porn.

I think the reason people think it is so far off is because a lot of the users on this site are probably in the 15-30 age group, and a lot of the people they communicate with are also of that age level, and the usage is probably much higher than that for those ages.

Wow there are people that watch 11 hours of porn per week (their definition of addicted)?  That's ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly...I guess I'm not, and never have been even remotely close to an addict.


Haha same here dude.
