A study seeking to investigate differences in men who watch pornography and those who do not soon had to change its research objectives after it failed to find any men who did not have such experience.
Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse of the University of Montreal apparently thought he would be able to find participants who had no experience of pornography:
“We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography. We couldn’t find any.”
Giving up on his original plan, the professor instead opted to interview 20 heterosexual male students about their experiences with pornography.
The average age they first watched pornography was 10.
90% of their pornography came from the Internet, with “single” men watching an average of 40 minutes of pornography three times a week, whilst men in relationships only viewed 20 minutes 1.7 times a week.
The professor asserts that pornography has no negative effect on male sexuality, based on his sample claiming in interviews that they had nothing to do with pornography they found offensive or distasteful.
His 20 told him they were normal:
“Not one subject had a pathological sexuality. In fact, all of their sexual practices were quite conventional.”
Of course, any supposed scientist drawing conclusions from an unrepresentative sample of but 20 interviewed face-to-face over an embarrassing topic is probably not worth taking seriously no matter what his conclusions might be…

This is why feminazis can't win.
If you have a dick then your gonna watch porn.
Since many said there is nothing wrong with watching porn here is my response:
Actually there is something very very very wrong with watching porn.
That is that for someone uninformed on sexuality like it is likely 10 year olds are watching porn extremes will give them the wrong idea about sex.
I really don't think rapes and tentacles and body modifications and etc. are a good thing for uninformed children(at ages like that they count as children) since they will see it as educational material.
Also to those people porn may be inducing the "not big enough" complex which may inhibit them from heaving a normal sexual life.
I agree. If your ten year olds free to look at anything on the internet, then you might aswell call yourself failure as a responsible parent.
And just because these teens don't admit that they watch extreme types of porn, doesn't mean they haven't.
Atleast before women had rights, they were somewhat respected. Don't see any gentlemen these days.
You two jumped to extremes way too quickly--the study wasn't about "extreme porn", it was about pornography in general.
I watched porn at 10. I grew up just fine.
the issue isn't so much porn as things that are extreme. It's when something is extreme is when the problems arise. For example anytime any religion has decided YOUR GOD IS WRONG YOU MUST DIE, and gone on to attempt to annihilate said other religion.
Also, extreme speed, if you drive fast, you can crash and die. Shall go out on a limb and point out extreme drinking as something dangerous? granted those examples are a far stretch from extreme porn, but the point is still there.
1) There is nothing wrong with watching porn.
2) Most students have had family living classes for 3 years by age 10. They're not "uninformed"
3) They won't see it as educational material.
Your last point abut the "not big enough" complex, if it means what I think it means, however, makes sense to an extent, however I have calculated it as within the last 5%, thereby being classified as "rare". The vast majority will never even think about 2d.
"any supposed scientist drawing conclusions from an unrepresentative sample of but 20 interviewed face-to-face over an embarrassing topic is probably not worth taking seriously no matter what his conclusions might be…"
That's a somewhat novice interpretation of research methodology.
Sampling is frequently taken as a demographic from the population. A scientist who tried to over-generalize their findings (like saying that the findings applied to all men with internet access), or didn't report the demographic data should not be taken seriously.
Basic qualitative research through face to face interview has plenty of merit, though, and 20 is a fairly robust sample for qualitative research. Though it probably lacks the full merit of the original research design, they can still draw meaningful conclusions-- it's just more ethnographic than statistical in nature. Though it seems they've already found that r is close to 1 for men:porn :P
CONSUMED? Doesn't consumption refer to either eating, or purchasing? Who the fuck BUYS porn come on... Eating it on the other hand... HAH on the other hand. That's where the magazine goes while I fap.
Once you start you can't stop. When was it for me?..... something Between 11 and 13...
*goes back to prontube, faps, faps..*
i prefer hentai
I so hate being a man. It sucks.
This is news?
A 20 person sample is so pathetically low it's embarrassing. I can imagine people doing a survey may end up with the notion that "some samples is better than none", but for a group to make view based upon that, is just facepalm worthy.
Also, my dad had never looked at porn, if rated R movies with sexual or nude scenes does not count.
As i wrote elsewhere, bigger number of samples will only underline the result yet more, despite of some people denying their porn watching probably will be found.
Ukonkivi, is your username taken from a stone in a lake in (Ala-Hippa in Vuotjärvi) Eastern Finland? I spent my childhood summerS there too.
If i guess this right, i can tell that your father`s porn watching was more than you think.
What I object to isn't so much the small sample as the way they said he "Couldn't find any." So after asking 20 people he just gave up? That's like going to the mall, and the first 20 ppl you see are all blonde or brunette, and concluding that there's no such thing as red-heads.
I have never* watched porn.
*Never may or may not mean in the last twenty minutes.
20 minutes!!?? Wow, how'd you do that? You must be walking willpower essence.
This sort of thing would heavily depend on what they consider porn. If they mean images, written, or film intended for such purpose, there are surely men who hasn't ever "watched" porn.
However, they most likely unconsciously, or consciously have seen some throughout their life, such as when walking past a magazine shelf, or on the internet, but such study would be as pointless as trying to find out how many people who know of pornography.
I do wonder how many millions of sex crimes good ole porn and masturbation prevents on a yearly basis.
What amuses me is that feminists typically loathe porn. The same porn and masturbation which ventilates the otherwise extreme frustration among males.
There are drawbacks of course.
As if women don`t masturbate themselves.
Feminazis must not since they seem to be with PMS 24/7.
Can you tell what drawbacks? Sounds impossible.
God damn thats the hawtest pic i've ever seen =}

"90% of their pornography came from the Internet, with “single” men watching an average of 40 minutes of pornography three times a week, whilst men in relationships only viewed 20 minutes 1.7 times a week."
What?!
Three times a week? One point seven times a week?
Not on daily base I see?
Bunch of weaklings!
THANK YOU.
So many comments and only one who seems to question this! Heck as a woman a watch at least some ecchi manga once a day; how come men watch only 40 mins thrice a week?
age 10?
Sheesh, I didn't start until 15. Not that I've stopped since, mind you.
For these kind of studies... tell us something we don't know...it is pretty obvious like sand in Sahara...
my boyfriend says i watch more porn than him! O_o
I dont watch porn. I don't think there's anything appealing about seeing plastic slutty women being pounded into by fat hairy men, etc.
What the fuck kind of porn are you watching? o.O
real men wastch porn!!!!! XD
I don't watch porn.
I look at porn Pictures.
the internet was made for it
How the hell can you post that you've never seen any porn when there's porn in every corner of this site??
“Not one subject had a pathological sexuality. In fact, all of their sexual practices were quite conventional.”
It all depends on the definition "normal."
porn is awesome when your ten
"40 minutes of pornography three times a week"
Damn, I'm well over that average.
You have to remember though that the sample size of this study is terribly small. 20 people is nowhere near enough to generate accurate data.
Of course every man watches it! If a man doesn't watch any porn means he's not a man lol
And now we wait for the feminazis to jump ALL over this.
Damnit if I wasn't suppose to masturbate to porn then the Y chromosome wouldn't look like a damn penis!
In Soviet Russian porn watches you!!!!!!
That's surprisingly true.
...So says my identity theft.
In other breaking news water is wet!
Blleeeeeehh!! I have never watched a porn with a 3D ugly pigs!! 2D is my kingdom >_< ;)
There is a fatal flaw in this study, because there is only one man who doesn't watch porn... and it's James May!
captain slow just watches the type no other man would
porn makes my penis cry :')
The study is rubbish, lots of men don't look at porn but they are all married.
dam now i'm eroused by text stimuli
It's totally obvious that all men have watched porn be it accidental or not. At some point of man's life he has to watch porn. Ancient Greece has their porn, Feudal Japan has it, the Hindus have the Kama Sutra and so on. Prof's just making a big deal about something that has been done by almost everyone.
Well I'd say kids get some sort of sex ed years before that age. Hell, a webpage being used for class over a decade ago when I was <10 had lewd ads slip though. Needless to say, the whole class knew what it was. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to say something like Google was possibly created to look for some fucking porn.
Big surprise there, kind of reminds me of the time a teacher of mine singled me out as the only one in the class who she thought didnt watch porn due to my innocent looking face. I just laughed to myself and remembered Bible Black.
oh gods. bible black. WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME?!
Yeah, a study like this where your sample is that low, based on interviews only and where you don't have a base for comparison means you fail as a researcher and at science.
I'm sure there's a man who hasn't seen porn somewhere. Like a man raised by animals on a deserted isle who has no concept that other human beings exist.
Good thing I'm a man.
What I wonder is why professors have to waste their time on that. Is that necessary research? I smell embezzlement of research funds.
I don't think it has anything to do with research funds. Maybe it was just personal curiosity.
Or maybe the feminazi's are trying to establish a link between pornography and "healthy sexual lives" so they can control what men whack off to, too.
10 year wtf i started with 8 xD
Wouldn't wanna be in their lab.
"All Men Watch Porn"
is this study's objective to make men sound like total pervert by stating the obvious like that ?
I mean, all girls watch porn too, just like men. That's just in human nature.
Man I've caught years ago my 9 years old imouto 'acidentally' watching porn.
(Lucky (?) her I wasn't the one I was today, no yaranaika)
I think the professor wanted to find out if there was any kind of different ways of thining or reasoning between people who watch porn and people who never watch it, but I think he didn't make the effort to get as many people into the experiment.
Stand back everybody! This looks like a job for Captain Obvious!
It's either this:
Knowing what is porn already proves you watch it.
OR
Asking what porn is after being asked if you watch it just proves you're lying.
40,000 man hours and 60 billion dollars later... we have the results that could have been found with a five second google search.
''Of course, any supposed scientist drawing conclusions from an unrepresentative sample of but 20 interviewed face-to-face over an embarrassing topic is probably not worth taking seriously no matter what his conclusions might be…''
If you know this then why post it? To confuse people? Are you evil or something?
Most probably, yes.
For the fun of it i suppose and the page hits off course.
No matter how small the group of people interviewed may be, it still seems more than probable that the results are nearly correct.
Of nearly all people I know i am certain that they at least watched porn. Of course, there are exceptions, but i widely i like to consider his study as correct.
Isn't 10 years old a little young though?
nope its 5 years to late
Not really. Well at least my brother and his friends always found their dads porn videos at around that age; so maybe it was harder to get porn before the internet, but it sure doesn't mean kids weren't interested in it.
OF COURSE NOT. I'm surprised he never snuck a peek at a dirty magazine much earlier.
I'm suprisingly vocal about this issue.
...I surprise myself. (≧ω≦)
It has to do with the Internet, I think.
When I was ten, the high-speed, spam- and porn-clogged Internet we have today did not exist. At that age, I'd not seen any porn movies, though at six I'd seen some of my dad's copies of 'Playboy' magazine.
Now, porn is easily accessible on-line, so young kids can get movies, etc.
I've never cared for movie porn, but have come to like anime fanservice/porn.
Perhaps the prof should have surveyed: 2-D vs 3-D porn viewage.
I remember those old time, it was difficult to find porn video, we were always curious to watch it. But now, all those kids who's born after year 2000 wont suffer from that :/ They'll just have to ask Mr.Google to fill they're pleasure
Good idea
agree'd on the high speed thing, my first porn image was at a friends house and i was like "meh".
No.
what is this porn you speak of?
If you're a heterosexual male and you've never watched porn, something is wrong with you.
I've been whackin it since the 5th grade at about 10. Pretty accurate.
I was raised to be somewhat of a gentleman, but I watch porn and hentai too, a man has urges you know.
Gentlemen.
A real gentleman would share his collection of 2D and 3D porn with his lady (I don't understand why the men I meet get so freaked out when I just barely mention porn).
I concur. +100 to you.
what a stupid investigation. Its obvious all men watch porn
Aren't there some religious people who never watched porn? (or at least young adult religious people?) I think this professor didn't look well enough. Of course he won't find non-watchers if he asks around, say, college grounds.
Religious people are those who`s honesty in this issue you never can trust.
They lie about everything, even to themselves.
QFT
Are you talking about the same people that hide young little boys in there basement so they can rape them at night.
And those Amish men so ignorant they still believe in stork coming with babies, despite having their "own children". Wonder who are the real fathers? High priests?
When the Amish reach a certain age they are forced to go out into the real world for a time. During this time it is safe to assume that they will come into contact with porn, since the point of this pilgrimage is to experience worldly vices, reject them, and return to God and the community. @erochichi you win the most ignorant person of the day award. Where did you come up with that bullshit? After watching the movie Kingpin?
He might try it with the amish people...
No offense meant, but i really think he might find someone there wo really NEVER watched any porn movies or read any porn magazines.
Hahahaha no, but aren't there some? I beleive there's everything out there; you can probably find men out there who don't want porn in any way.
Apparently not if someone had to create a study about it.
When do girls start?
I found a dirty tape in the normal vhs collection at 8. Then I started watching it again when I discovered the internet at 12. I am now a happy female at 23.
Personally I started around 11-13, but can't recall the exact moment in time right now.
Lies! We all know there are no girls on the interne
