The 2000 census says we have 250 million people living in the US. Of that, 80 million are under the age of 18 and were not questioned in the survey. That would mean that 40 million out of the available 170 million people left view porn regularly. That is over 24% of the American adult population that views porn regularly. Since males are 75% of porn consumers, you can equate 35% of all males view porn regularly.

While this percent may seem small to you, that audience is larger than that of those who watch the Super Bowl every year. It is a larger percent of people that workout regularly, go to the dentist regularly, or go to the movies regularly. Oh, and the percent of adults who view porn regularly is higher than the percent of adults who go to church regularly.

Guess there are a lot of unnormal, un-adjusted people out there.
