Parents beware its an XXX world out there. The University of Alberta ran a study of random children between the ages of 13 and 14 about their forays into the darker side of the internet.
A total of 429 students aged 13 and 14 from 17 urban and rural schools across Alberta, Canada, were surveyed anonymously about if, how and how often they accessed sexually explicit media content on digital or satellite television, video and DVD and the Internet. Ninety per cent of males and 70 per cent of females reported accessing sexually explicit media content at least once. More than one-third of the boys reported viewing pornographic DVDs or videos “too many times to count”, compared to eight per cent of the girls surveyed.
A majority of the students, 74 per cent, reported viewing pornography on the Internet. Forty-one per cent saw it on video or DVD and 57 per cent reported seeing it on a specialty TV channel. Nine per cent of the tens reported they accessed pornography because someone over 18 had rented it; six per cent had rented it themselves and 20 per cent viewed it at a friend’s house.
Guess this show how embedded this is in our culture and society. Granted, this high numbers might be due to the age brackets surveyed, but I think it could be representative of the population. Discuss away.
Thats just sad. Oh and its percent as one word not two, just fyi!
What!? Teenage boys like to look at porn without their parents knowing!? Shocker.
Big Suprise.
Saw it on VHS or DVD? Wow, how old is this story?
The percent was in the quoted text which was taken [sic]

Haha yeah I’m not that shocked. Especially with what kids can access on just regular old TV now a days… why wouldn’t they be somewhat curious about porn?
“Per cent” is correct in lots of places outside of the US (as well as being closer to the Latin).
….. the internet IS FOR PORN ;)
I’m not shocked by this at all, I’m shocked that 8% of the girls looked… usually girls … or at least when I was younger would always pull the “ewwwwww gross” card regarding anything of that nature… unless it was teen beat magazine
“In British English, percent is usually written as two words (per cent, although percentage and percentile are written as one word). In American English, percent is the most common variant (but cf. per mille written as two words). …
The form “per cent.” is still in use as a part of the highly formal language found in certain documents like commercial loan agreements (particularly those subject to, or inspired by, common law),…
While the term has been attributed to Latin per centum, this is a pseudo-Latin construction and the term was likely originally adopted from Italian per cento or French pour cent.”

And yes, although rarely, girls do watch porn. A few really honest girls will admit it.
