According to a new report from internet monitoring company
NetValue, porn web sites were visited by 3.8 million home internet
users in the UK in June 2001. This accounts for more than a quarter
of the entire UK home internet population.
The report reveals that in June, the average UK visitor to adult
web sites spent more than 45 minutes on these sites in June. Porn
sites make up 41.2% of all the sites visited in the UK with a
significant audience. Students (23.2%), manual workers (15%), and
professionals (12.8%) are the largest groups of UK visitors to
pornographic sites.
However, Germany has the largest audience for on-line
pornography in Europe with more than 5.3 million Germans visiting
an adult site in June. They also spent more time on these type of
sites than any other nationality - each German visitor spent almost
an hour on pornographic sites in June. NetValue data also showed
that more than half (52.3%) the web sites visited in June by a
significant number of German users were of an adult nature.
