BBC News: Porn site age-check law demanded by media regulator
One factoid caught my eye:
"One website alone - Pornhub - had been visited by 112,000 boys in the UK aged between 12 and 17-years-old"
This is the only reference to gender in the report.
The news release on the regulator's site also states:
"One in five teenage boys under 18 going online were clicking on porn websites from PC’s, and one adult site – which offers free, unrestricted access to thousands of hardcore porn videos – attracted 112,000 of the teenagers."
So what about the girls? Hidden away in a footnote in the actual report, in relation to the "one in five teenage boys":
"This is nearly double the rate of access by female the same age - 1 in 9 (11.75 per cent) of UK females aged 12-17 visited an adult website from a PC or laptop in December 2013."
I'm actually totally unsurprised that teenage boys are looking for porn, because I certainly did at that age, only back then it was a matter of hunting for discarded copies of Mayfair and Razzle in woodland areas or industrial wasteland, because there was a point when the mail-order clothes catalogue in the house just didn't cut it.
What does seem strange (or maybe not) is that what the boys are up to is highlighted as a concern, yet the girls aren't really that far behind.
