Love in the Age of YouPorn




Web-browsers, social media, cloud computing and the internet of things have made sectors like communications and transports the big winners in the digital revolution. Individuals, businesses, entire countries have solved small and bigger problems while constantly optimizing the use of the available resources. The term revolution has been linked to Google, Facebook, and Amazon. It really depends on whom you ask. This nearly unlimited access to information is not without drawbacks, especially for domains which would need restrictions. Porn is one of those. Today, dirty magazines are a relic replaced by online video aggregates like XVideos, Xhamster, and Xnxx, with “authorial” porn surviving through the original productions of Brazzers. The 20 to 30 pages of a racy booklet you would buy for a couple of dollars became 4400 petabytes – and this is just Pornhub – freely available 24/7. Adult movie theaters, in the same fashion, are pretty much extinct. All the while, our porn-consumers are younger and younger, with a staggering 98% rate of exposure before the age of 18. Might it be the absence of morally uptight cashiers, or our use of better techniques to scoop data? Most barriers today are overcome by inputting fake info (like a bogus birth date), or at worst through an ad-hoc Gmail/Hotmail account. Children might really be the silent victims of the digitization of the adult industry and its lack of controls. The virtual environment in which sexual experimentation takes place extends to apps allowing and it presents the same identification problems. Teenagers in the 12-17 bracket might be too young for Tinder but can connect on Yellow, make friends or even date people. However, who’s to say you are chatting with another kid in the first place? Same problem for an app like Kik, enough to warrant the attention of the FBI due to its abuse by sexual predators. Teenagers might not realize the legal, psychological and emotional consequences of consuming pornography, sexting, or the risk of pedophiles lurking in the shadows. But creating non-intimate relationships can indeed fulfills Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (for example being in a position to be accepted by the opposite sex). This can not only prepare the teenager for a healthy sexual life, but also inform the individuals on the need to protect intimate relationships from prey-predator problems.
