Has the Internet changed our attitudes about sex?
How many women view porn on the net?
If you’d asked me that question 6 months ago I would have said, “Maybe a few,” but then I’d be wrong. Recently SexyAds.com conducted a survey about how the internet and dating sites had changed people’s ideas on sexuality.
Do women watch porn? Is flirting online “cheating”? Are people more likely to be more sexually adventurous since the advent of the internet? These are just some of the questions we wanted answers to.
We found some interesting results.
For example, 91% of the respondents view porn online, and some 56% find it at least somewhat satisfying. A greater pecentage of men than women vist porn sites, although a suprising 80% of women said they visit at least “One or two porn sites”, and only 19% of women said they did not find online porn satisfying. Even older women look at porn, although not as big a percentage as younger women (this is also true of men). 76% of women over 40 told us they look at porn, although only 44% found it satisfying. For women over 60, 78% look at porn and 53% found it at least somewhat satisfying.
The internet has changed at least some people’s views about sex and sexuality. 63% of people told us they feel more sexually adventurous since starting to surf the net, although only 31% said they actually feel sexier, with 38% being undecided about that.
The internet has made it easier for people to fulfill their sexual fantasies it seems. 75% said that the internet has made it easier to fulfil their sexual fantasies, (78% or women and 74% of men) while only 63% say they feel sexier (62% of men and 69% of women).
83% of people told us they thought online flirting was not cheating and 71% indicated they’d be more likely to consider an affair.

Internet flirting???
Ohhh no, I would never do that
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTCH
I think the internet has given women a chance to find porn they like in a more comfortable setting than your sleazy XXX store. And it’s even allowed consumers to better connect with people making porn. Woman-friendly porn seems to have blossomed since the advent of the internet; although, I’m no expert so this could simply be a coincidence.
Interesting survey, although some of the questions are obviously flawed.
As in the one about views in fidelity. Why is there no “yes” and what do the options besides “no” even mean? Plus, it doesn’t taken into account if folks were already not concerned or loosely defining fidelity.
And flirting in the internet? The question cannot be answered without defining flirting? Harmless comments that are not personal? No harm in that in almost any setting but I suspect the intent was to have us assume something more serious.
