Recently much attention has been brought on the Adult industry due to the increasing amounts of activity on the internet. Pornography is a major search engine topic, with 25% of total search engine requests being porn related. The sex industry generates revenue world wide of up to $57 billion making it one of the leading industries in the world. There are a number of categories which people visiting the sex industry fall into, the first is Recreational, these are people who would at most spend a couple of hours a week browsing the net looking for porn, but it does not threaten their relationships. Then there is the sexually compulsive, these are people with sexual problems and they can lose control and worsen their problems. Finally there is the At risk segment. Basically these are totally addicted to online pornography, they use it to deal with feelings of high stress, depression and anxiety. They are people who experience feelings of emptiness and stress when they cannot pursue their online activities. It is clear that the online adult industry has been a great beneficiary to the growth of the internet. It has allowed both males and females to access any quantity of adult porn they require, however it has brought up the topic, should the sex industry be banned? This is an argument that has raged for quite some time. My opinion is that it is certain peoples choice whether they wish to view sites within the industry, and that if people wish to censor the content that can be viewed online they may do so. This can then raise an argument that the internet needs to regulated more efficiently.
