Not the part that says more kids are exposed to porn, they obviously are. But the part that 66% of kids surveyed between the ages of 10 and 17 had NOT sought out the porn and just looked at it by "accident".

It's funny how a high school student described porn pop-ups going from shocking to merely annoying. Oh, no, the corruption!

Honest mom it was an accident, I don't want to see those depraved things!

It doesn't help that a lot of porn distributors online buy up domain names and pad their sites with so many keywords designed to suck unsuspecting users to them. And looking up the links to them on a search engine like Google or Yahoo! just shows this kind of tactic.

For example, take gamefaqs.com. A pretty cool website for game tips I refer to frequently. But if you leave out the s from "gamefaqs" like I or some people do accidentally and hit Go or Enter...

accidents happen...many times searching on the web a simple innocent word search directs you to a porn site or gambling site..."MG cars" one time connected me to a Japanese porn site, don't know what the connection was but that's what popped up...

"Honestly its just a pop up and I wear the sock for warmth!"

I don't buy it. I would have to see the exact questions, but even then I wouldn't be so confident in the survey results, simply because of this:
The results come from a telephone survey of 1,500 Internet users aged 10 to 17, conducted with their parents' consent.So who even guarantees that the parents weren't in the room with the kids during the interview?

Also, they defined porn for the study as "images of naked people or people having sex" - um, yeah, you will definitely come across pictures of naked people on the internet, at least topless women.
Now, to come across real pornography while all innocently surfing completely unrelated pages? Not so much (in my experience, at least).

Also, if they asked (again, I don't know, but this is how I would imagine most studies to ask) along the lines of "Did you in the last month see any "porn" on the internet?" and "Did you seek it out intentionally?", there will always be the problem that most people will have seen online "porn" more than once - so which time are they referring to in their answer?

Long story short, it doesn't seem very plausible.

Oh, and also the age range from 10-17 is awfully wide. One would assume that the lower part of the age group makes up for the bulk of those 66% saying "I only saw it by accident" whereas the higher age group would seek it out intentionally a LOT more often.

I thought there was a law passed against that sort of thing...does it still work that way?

Eh, I'd believe it. I've certainly encountered pornographic pop-ups and ads many a time. I particularly remember an occasion some years ago when I was looking for a nice corset pattern online; practically every other search result seemed to be something like "XXX BARELY LEGAL TEENZ IN CUPLESS CORSETS SUCK BIG THROBBING COCKS!!!1!!"

This reminds me of the heady days of being 12 or 13 or so when you'd be of age to find Field Porn-tattered porn remnants in places where you had no idea how the porn got there, usually turned to an odd section of a magazine that caters to a very specific and odd fetish...

I for one am comforted by the idea that the internet has not actually killed Field Porn (I found some recently myself, I felt like an archaeologists...) just transfered the way it's discovered.


(and yeah, I think it's a lot of sheepish kids trying to imply that they don't look for porn, porn looks for them...but it is possible to 'stumble' on some porn, but pretty often you know what it is before you get the naked...)

Hmm. Maybe I just have an exceptionally good pop-up blocker. :p

I believe the children. We should always believe the children. And the men who read Playboy for the articles and the in-depth interviews.

Pumping "corsets" through google, safe search off... no porn on the first page of text results.
With safe search off, looking at images there's one pair of tits. Not sucking.

With any kind of content filter on, it's almost impossible to stumble on porn by accident.

Easy as hell to find it if you look for that kind of stuff (or something illegal like pirate MP3s, movies, warez etc). But really the only time you're gonna find porn for accident is when you're looking for something else dodgy.

I think the key to this is that the parents of those kids knew about the survey and had to give permission. Come on, how many of you would even admit to knowing that the other gender even has genitals and other naughty bits in front of your parents?

Actually I think it's very posible. Most internet savvy kids probably get hit with "porn" before they are even interested in the subject. Secondly, if I remember when I was that age I'd probably be too busy searching eroticism than porn. :p

Then again I recently went :eek: seeing a forum ad for Dove which has a woman lifting up her blouse and exposing her bra. Yea I've seen worse, but it's the little things in life that are still free.

Heh. The "some years ago" part of my post is rather important. As in, y'know, long enough ago that no one had really heard of Google, and I was still using a search engine that didn't really do much in the way of filtering results. :)

Point being, anyway, that while I don't doubt that many of the kids involved are stretching the truth a bit about how they happened to encounter porn, I'm also sure a fair number of them are telling the truth about seeing porn only unintentionally.

Field Porn

that is a great term for it - i'm using that from now on.

Growing up out west, occasionally Tumble-Porn would blow through town.

It's quite believable that two-thirds of them were exposed to pornography without having sought it out. What's not so believable is that none of those in that category ALSO sought it out on their own.

What's clear, though, is that they have obviously been severely emotionally scarred for life by seeing naked people having sex. It's past time for the state to step in and ease ther immense suffering and hardship.

I am now picturing an orgy attempting to roll down a street in the midst of a kitschy spaghetti-western setting. Thanks for giving me one of the strangest mental images I have had in some time. :p

'sfunny, but last year when I was searching for barely legal teens in cupless corsets sucking big throbbing cocks practically every other search result was for a nice corset pattern online. Personally I believe government should clamp down on the corsetmakers.

Heh. As it happens, I never did find a pattern I liked - I guess next time I'll know what search terms to use! :D

Since when has pre-teens looking at naughty websites been a bad thing? ;)
