“Give Us Clean Hands and Pure Hearts”

Statistics on pornography and sexual addiction can be very discouraging to look at, to say the least. Safe Families, a program of TechMission, Inc.--a group that was formed to assist parents in protecting their children from pornography and other dangers on the Internet, reminds us of the widespread infiltration of our homes and minds. Here are some of the trouble statistics they recently provided:1

  • The total porn industry revenue for 2006: $13.3 billion in the United States; $97 billion worldwide (Internet Filter Review).
  • Unique worldwide users visiting adult web sites monthly: 72 million (Internet Filter Review).
  • Adults admitting to Internet sexual addiction: 10%; men made up 72% while women were 28% of this group (internet-filter-review.com).
  • More than 70% of men from 18 to 34 visit a pornographic site in a typical month (comScore Media Metrix).
