Record number of religious girls surfing sex sites

More curious? New research indicates that one in three teenaged girls from the religious and Ultra-Orthodox sectors surf porn sites – nearly twice as many as non-observant girls of the same age.

Seventeen percent of the non-religious girls polled said they visited sexually-oriented websites, while over 30% of the national religious and haredi girls polled responded likewise.

Over 500 11th and 12th-grade students from the national religious, haredi, and secular sectors participated in the study, which focused on the amount of exposure to the Internet and the "sexual conflict." The research is a follow-up to a qualitative study published a year ago that examined attraction vs. reversion to sexuality and attraction vs. reversion to morality and conservatism.

Is that correct? I can't find the actual study, a problem which seems to be getting worse all the time.

it makes perfect sense: repression only drives it all underground.

Repression doesn't work.

Repression creates a greater curiosity, in my view. I've only known two people who told me that they were pornography addicts- one was the son of a Pastor, the other was the son of very radical "Born Again" Evangelical Christian parents. A female friend of mine is relatively well known in a sports field, she tells me that on her Facebook page her worst harassers as far as demanding to chat, wanting webcam chats, requests for her phone number, etc. are mostly from men in Middle Eastern countries with harsh repression of pornography.
