According to 2010 statistics, the average age a child is first exposed to Internet pornography is 8 years old. 90% of 12-17-year-old boys have viewed pornography online, most while doing homework. Additionally, recent medical findings indicate that even one exposure to pornography can be as addictive as cocaine.
