The Facts about Cyber-Smut

Hey, I’m no stranger to all the hook-up sites and porn that are in infinite abundance on the web. Hell, every month I come close to my data usage limit on my laptop and “mobile devices” because I linger too long at the well. Well, here are some facts about all this smut, courtesy of South Florida’s NEXT magazine:

Seventy percent of men ages 18-34 visit an adult site in a typical month. I’d bet it’s higher among retirees – after all, when you’re not working anymore, what else is left to do but play golf and think about (and have) sex?

Adult entertainment is a $14 billion industry. Yep, there’s a lot of money in a freebie like cum.

Twenty eight thousand internet users are viewing adult entertainment every second. Do I count for more than one if I have all my hook-up sites opened AND xtube too?

The average time an adult movie is watched is twelve minutes – about the same length of time as the average sex act.

But the stat that surprised me the most was that a new adult video is being created just in the U.S. every 39 minutes. I mean, do you ever wonder, and I’m just talking about gay porn now, where all these beautiful, big donged, mostly young guys (unless you’re a devotee of daddy porn) come from? Are they all broke str8 or broke gay boys? College jocks earning their way through school? Out-of-work actors? Meth heads? Preachers’ sons? And that’s not even counting all those luscious men waiting at their laptops for you to buy some video chat time with them.

Jesus, I wonder if the Department of Labor counts them when it releases its weekly employment stats.
