As promised, I wanted to cover more of the results from our survey on behaviors around pornography
(click here to take it). We asked the question, Have you ever intentionally or unintentionally viewed pornography depicting children? I was somewhat surprised by the response. More than 20 percent of respondents admitted to viewing child pornography. If you extrapolate that out to the population that's millions of people viewing images of children. There has to be a desensitizing effect, I know there was for me. As I looked at more and more pornography, I became habituated. In other words it seemed to take more and harder types of pornography for me to achieve the same level of pleasure. I've heard this often from other sex addicts as well. That they looked at pornography they thought they would have never looked at, children, animals, pain, violence, etc.
I was thinking the other day about how we could somehow humanize or visually depict the true damage and proliferation of child pornography. One statistic I've seen is that 20,000 child pornography images are uploaded to the Internet each day. For just one month, those photos stacked one on top of the other would be as tall as a 20-story building. But I don't think that does it justice, because it doesn't include the human factor. Then I was thinking what if we did a Web site like this one
http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/, but instead of each pixel representing an ad, we have a site that is made up of 250,000 pixels/photos to represent each child who will be a victim of child sexual abuse this year. What do you think? Any other ideas? Email me with them -
