Ten Lies Pornographys Tell
The conclusion of the year brings a million glare and round-ups to the Web, series of what was most popular and most important in the year that was. Among the most important and most shocking year-end roundups We read this week concerned pornography. (I read about the report at a major news site but will risk charges of plagiarism and not connect to it since it, in turn, links to porn sites. )
Here is the statistic you and I need to think about: 52% of pornography consumed in the United States this year has been consumed on mobile devices; a further 10% was consumed on tablets. This means that almost two thirds of pornography is now being viewed on products other than desktop computers.
Why is this particular significant? For at least two factors.
Did you buy your children an iPod or iPhone or other mobile device for Christmas? You just purchased them the major porn-consumption device. So what are you going to do to protect them from it? One of the most popular articles I had written in 2013 concerned The Porn-Free Family. I will be returning to the subject in the new year, but for now, I wish to point out an important fact: Most of our attempts to block pornography and also to use accountability software are effective only or primarily on desktop devices. Covenant Eyes is an effective solution on my desktop or laptop, yet a rather ineffective solution on the mobile phone. This is the first major takeaway from these new statistics: Your blocking and accountability solution has to be aware of mobile devices if it is going to be in any way effective.
The second one is this: The particular adoption of mobile devices, and therefore the consumption of pornography through mobile devices, probably styles toward younger people. This is based on an educated guess more than statistics, but I am quite sure it will prove true. The younger you are, the greater the chance that you enjoy the privacy and portability afforded by your mobile device whenever you look at porn. The statistics launched by this company conveniently skip all mention of age, but we all know the popularity of pornography among teens—teens that are increasingly in possession of mobile devices. Putting a desktop computer in an open public place within the home and setting up Covenant Eyes is still a good idea, but it hardly matters if your children carry unsecured iPods with them all the time. That’s like securing your home by securing the front door while leaving all the windows wide open.
