Did you know that 12 percent of all websites are pornographic? Were you aware that every second of every day there are 28,258 Internet users viewing porn? In the U.S. alone, Internet porn is a $2.84 billion per year business, and $4.9 billion worldwide. It's all true, says Online MBA, a self-described "business education blog, made up of a few business-minded friends."
"Our blog is dedicated to help guide soon-to-be college graduates and business professionals navigate through the pitfalls of the business world by providing valuable resources and tips from our own background, as well as advice from some of the leaders in various industries," Online MBA writes. "In this modern age where information is abundantly available and knowledge has become a commodity, we wanted to provide a casual atmosphere for people to come and be informed, and at times, entertained while reading and learning about business."
Part of that apparently entails researching online pornography and breaking it down into a numbers game. For example, the average porn site visit lasts 6 minutes and 29 seconds, while the least popular day for romping around the sultry side of the web is on Thanksgiving. And the most popular day of the week? Sunday.

This is why you don't touch anything with your hands until after washing them thoroughly with soap and hot water after using someones or even my computer. Yeah we might be typing with one hand there comes times where we change up and use the other hand for typing and we don't wash that hand before we start typing either.

They have it all wrong. Well, at least when it comes to me that is. See, I'm married....with children...need I say more?? Porn is like cotton, the fabric of my life. I can spend hours looking, watching, downloading porn. Hell, I bought an LG Blue-Ray burner just to keep up! Kudo's to the engineers that came up with in-private browsing.....wooohooo! Otherwise I would be divorced and paying child support.

Six minutes? The last time I looked at porn took like fifteen minutes, at least. How do people finish in six minutes?
I dig the Thanksgiving statistic, though. I don't remember evacuating Hoth last Thanksgiving, either.

i average about 2-3 minutes, usually because sites i go to have thumbnailed links, and most lead elsewhere and not to the content i want to see, which is why i clicked it in the first place.
There's always 4-chan. I spend at least a half an hour there daily.
