Hey

Anyone seen this and looked into whether or not the sources are legitimate?

Seems to me all porn stats seem to be condemning or self-serving and ill founded or badly researched/referred... I was just wondering if anyone has already done the checking up here to save me some time, 'cause you KNOW I'm going to check these out sooner or later lol

interesting - though I would have liked to see a more detailed list for example, of all that online money - where does the pink dollar fit in? how many gay sites are actively searched and out there. the search terms interestingly enough has no gay phrases - wondering if we are really giving more credit to gay porn that it deserves

Give me a few hours and I'm sure I can whip-up a webpage full of unprovable numbers that nobody can cross-check against anything. Would you like me to give detailed stats of adult industry sales or the exact locations of mobile nuclear launch vehicles?

Either will be just as inaccurate and nobody will be able to prove how right or wrong I am. :D

I found these links you can review

This killed me : "The largest group of viewers of Internet porn is children between ages 12 and 17 Family Safe Media, December 15, 2005." NO WAY

Relentless - for sure - but are the "facts" on that link I posted verifiable or sourced? I haven't had the time to clickthru yet so...

Cyn: yesl, I love the christian conservative right-wing take on things. I can't post a laughing smiley big enough :P

In keeping with Lao Tzu's "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer" - I'm a regular subscriber to some of the hepper things like the XXXChurch newsletter and such.
