Anyone who avidly follows contemporary popular culture and cultural trends in general is probably well aware that the pornography (adult entertainment) industry is an entity that generates billions of dollars of revenue in the United States annually. Some estimates suggest that the figure is as much as $13 billion. What is more notable is the fact that 90% of young boys and 60% of young girls have been exposed to pornography before they reach the age of 18.
According to the website expastors.com the median age that children become introduced to such material is 11 years old. Thus, it is hardly a surprise that we live in a society that is deeply immersed in and obsessed with pornography.
In 1994, the recently revived Promise Keepers organization conducted a survey that revealed that 50% of the men who attended their rallies engaged themselves with porn within one week of attending the event. That was two decades ago. The fact that a considerable percentage of religious people have been affected by pornography causes many individuals to take notice.
Other statistics from several studies and articles conducted by researchers found that:
· 50% of religious men and 20% of religious women stated that they were addicted to pornography.
· 54% of men polled that they visited porn websites at least frequently.
· Men are more than 543% more likely to look at porn than women.
