Why??

Well, let me tell about what I want to put light on - Pornograhy.

I was reading in today's paper about some interesting facts about porn industry. Something that is definately alarming.

Today porn industry is very big and is competing with many other business of the world. Porn revenue is larger than all combined revenues of professional football, baseball and basketball franchises.

-> Expense on pornography each second all over world: $3,075.64
-> People watcing porn over internet for each second: 28,258
-> Number of websites dealing with pornography: 42 lakhs
-> Emails related to porn circulated per day: 250 crores
-> Porn industry worth in India: 256000 crores

Accessibility of pornography via internet and mobile phones is termed as the major booster.

It is definately a big challenge in a country like India were every door for a kid to be aware of sex is closed. If there is not a proper channel for this kind of awareness, no wonder kids would get this information from wrong resources and that will be lot costly a mistake to bring youth back into a right track.

Well, the question is how do we deal with it? Should kids be taught about sex as we teach any other thing in this world or try restricting the sources of this information? The later one seems so obviously impossible with the latest media and accessibility!! Come on yaar, even if we open a news website, a pop comes up with a picture that can attract the kids...

If you are trying to address the problem of a child watching porn by taking away the tape or the book from him, you bet you are not addressing the root cause. You are just taking away the source. The problem could be something else. Why is the kid focussing on that? Is it because of biological changes in his body, the friend circle he is in or the lack of focus on other valuble things in life?
