Though some find it disgusting, almost all of have experienced watching pornography in some way or the other. Be it in print or in the media, porn is almost everywhere today. If you remember the olden days with the only access to porn images with magazines such as Playboy and Debonair, the next came in VHS tapes and CDs. Later, when the internet became cheap, porn took to the online world with access becoming even easier. And now, porn is the easiest to avail on smartphones and tablets. Today, porn is easily accessed, and available on demand right into our bedrooms.
Pornography has altered our lives in many ways—from childhood problems to marital issues—all are affected. PornHub, one of the most accessed pornography website, carried out a research, along with Mic, to find out the penetration of porn, the access route and the impact on the millennials.
