Businessmen are worried about the vast amount of time spent on websites like these and also the damage such viewing can bring for their employees.

There might be little question that internet pornography is growing. Some estimates claim that web-based porn generates more revenue than that from ABC, CBS and NBC combined. It's big business and it is growing. 20 to 33 percent of internet users use the internet for sexual purposes according to studies done even as 2005.

Even the authorities isn't exempt from employees using government computers for porn access. Only a month ago, two Usa Senators took the nation's Science Foundation to task for neglecting to properly discipline employees who used taxpayer equipment to view porn.

   Internet pornography is cheap or free. Many porn sites offer free images or videos. Usually the provider hopes to draw in a user by teasing all of them with samples. Often porn sites offer subscriptions to their raunchiest material for some dollars a month to a person with a credit card, debit card or access to a web-based payment service.
   Internet pornography is instant gratification. Someone trying to find internet porn can find it having a single a word explore Google or Yahoo. In a few minutes, a user will be deep into pornography. There is little or virtually no time delay between your decision to take part in viewing porn and the moment it is actually found. Our culture preaches instant gratification in many areas of life and also the internet makes it supremely possible.
   Internet pornography is anonymous. Gone are the days of slipping into that sleazy shop and seeking to buy a video or magazine without having to be seen by someone. Now one can surf the waves of internet porn with almost not a trace.

These three components, free, instant and anonymous, make internet porn a sure bet to attract and hold many people. Families must use caution and restraint in their internet usage or they might become on of the statistics.
