Problem with Sex?

Sexual addictions are far too prevalent in today's society. This weeks show is all about sex addictions so I thought I would post a few stats that prompted me to create these two shows.

Pornography Time Statistics
Every second - $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography
Every second - 28,258 Internet users are viewing pornography
Every second - 372 Internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines
Every 39 minutes: a new pornographic video is being created in the United States


Adult Internet Pornography Statistics
Men admitting to accessing pornography at work 20%
US adults who regularly visit Internet pornography websites 40 million
Promise Keeper men who viewed pornography in last week 53%
Christians who said pornography is a major problem in the home 47%
Adults admitting to Internet sexual addiction 10%
Breakdown of male/female visitors to pornography sites 72% male - 28% female


Women and Pornography
Women keeping their cyber activities secret 70%
Women struggling with pornography addiction 17%
Ratio of women to men favoring chat rooms 2X
Percentage of visitors to adult websites who are women 1 in 3 visitors
Women accessing adult websites each month 9.4 million
Women admitting to accessing pornography at work 13%
Women, far more than men, are likely to act out their behaviors in real life, such as having multiple partners, casual sex, or affairs.

However it's not all about porn, there are many reasons people get trapped in addictive lifestyles. We'll be talking about all aspects of this growing problem and what you can do to help someone you love or to find help for yourself.

Tune in to listen to Dr. Mike Bird from Wings of Grace Counseling Center, as he shares his expertise on this issue.

Thanks for the stats. I starting writing on this topic not too long ago. Here's what I came up with:
