Porn Acceptable to Girl Students too in US

Porn is far more acceptable to the younger generation, including girls studying in US colleges, a new study reveals.
Most young women in the study said they personally did not use porn, but nearly half said viewing X-rated material was acceptable for them. But only 37% of the fathers and 20% of the mothers surveyed agreed.
The attitude of the young women and men in the study might be influenced by pornographic images that have proliferated on the Internet in the past 10 years, says Jeffrey Arnett, the editor of the Journal of Adolescent Research, which will publish the study in January.
In the 1980s, young adults had to go to a store and ask for the porn magazines, which often were kept behind the counter.
But Arnett says kids today are the first generation in which X-rated images can be pulled up with wireless technology from a handheld device.
"We're in an age of pocket porn," says study author Jason Carroll.
Carroll, a social sciences researcher at Brigham Young University, and his colleagues studied 813 college students from six schools across the USA. The students went online and answered questions about their views on pornography.
The researchers found that young men were much more likely to use pornography: 86% reported that they viewed such material in the past year. The study also found that one in five young men said they viewed pornographic material every day or nearly every
