Turns Out Pornography Isn’t Such a Big Deal

In Israel it doesn't seem to be, at least. A new joint study conducted by Haifa University and Tel Aviv University maintains that the majority of Israeli children between the ages of 9-18 visit Internet porn sites, but that's not the worst part. It's the other stuff the children are finding on the World Wide Web that's most alarming:

— But lest parents start rushing off 60 percent of the nation's youth to psychotherapists, 56 percent of those exposed to pornography said that it had no emotional affect at them at all while 10 percent said that they had enjoyed the pornography (once again, primarily boys) and only 7 percent said that they regretted having viewed sexual content (primarily girls and elementary school students).

But that may not be the most alarming revelation: 24 percent of the youths said that they had a face-to-face meeting with a stranger they met online. Only 10 percent of the parents, less than half, said that their child had met with an online acquaintance. 40 percent of the youths reported having given out personal information online, only 4 percent of parents said the same of their children.

Thirty-five percent they had been exposed to violent images while 19 percent report they were accidentally exposed to websites advocating hate crimes. 5 percent said they had intentionally sought out the hate sites.

  • Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But think of if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its field. Wonderful blog!
