Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Men’s Favorite Industry

#1 Males Aged 12-17 Watch It The Most

Not surprising at all, but boys worldwide aged 12 to 17 are the biggest viewers of porn. That doesn't mean they are spending some of the big bucks on it, but there is a lot available online for free. This means that most teenaged males are learning about sex and relationships from adult pornography and clips.

#2 Boys In The US Start Watching Porn At 10 Years Old

Apparently kids in the US begin consuming pornography as early as 10 years old as compared to their foreign counterparts. So much for the age of innocence.

#3 Porn Makes More Money Than The Top Tech Companies

Unbelievable! The porn industry makes more money than the NFL, NBA and the MLB! It also makes more money than NBC, CBS and ABC! And, to top it off, the industry has a higher revenue than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Apple and Netflix combined! And as far as I know, you don't have to spend a whole lot of time getting a college degree to get a good job. You just have to be willing to be around a whole bunch of people who don't wear any clothes.

#4 Every Second Over 30,000 People Enjoy Porn

According to Webroot, every single second that ticks by almost 30,000 people are checking out some form of adult entertainment on the internet and another 10,000 are absorbing another form of some type of pornography. So, in the time it took you to read this, around 62,000 people watched some type of XXX entertainment.

#5 The Top Searched Key Words And Genres

The most searched term on the internet for porn is LESBIAN. That's a real shocker. Guys are into two girls getting it on but are repulsed by two men. It's a bit confusing, but in case you are wondering where other terms fit in, the second most popular genres 'Googled" are STEPMOM, followed by MILF and TEEN. Sorry to adult performers over 25.

The average 'career' for a porn actor is only six years. Most females begin their stint at around 19 years of age, and the men begin around age 21. There have been some performers who made a lifetime career making adult films, like John Holmes, Traci Lords, Linda Lovelace, Ron Jeremy and Jena Jameson, but those days are long gone with so many films being produced and so many new faces wanting a piece of the action.

#6 Kansas Watches Porn The Most

Hard to believe, but the true conservative state of Kansas has a dirty little secret they keep hidden. It turns out they are the people who watch and search for the most porn in the US. Like most hypocrites, they moan about the values being corrupted in society but secretly reap the benefits. Maybe they enjoy porn so much because there's literally nothing else to do there.

#7 Adult Entertainment Has Its Own Union

There are two organized unions in the adult film industry that seek to protect their business. The Adult Film Association of America, and The Free Speech Coalition. Both organizations are attempting to protect the rights of people in the adult entertainment industry because the industry as a whole is constantly under attack from lawmakers. Some of whom may or may not be from Kansas.

#8 Single Men Watch Over 40 Minutes Of Porn Every Week

According to a study, the average single guy watches around 45 minutes of triple 'X' material a week, while the average guy that is in a relationship checks it out for only 20 minutes a week. Twenty minutes a week is still probably too much for a guy in a relationship, but that's none of our business...

#9 All Guys Have Checked It Out At Least One Time

At one point, some genius with too much time on his hands tried to do a study that involved guys that had never, EVER watched anything created by the adult entertainment industry. In news that was shocking to the researchers, but not to anyone with an ounce of common sense, they could not find anyone. They could not locate a single adult male to survey. I am sure there must be a few guys out there that have never seen any porn at all, but I am not sure if anyone is willing to ask a member of the clergy and even then is probably safe to say they may have indulged as well.

#10 Over 13,000 Porno Movies Are Made Yearly In America

Every 39 minutes in America there is a guy with a camera filming a couple of women doing things that they don't want their father to see. Some of these productions are ones that have a big budget by a studio, and some of them are done in someone's basement while being filmed on a smartphone. All of them feature women that think they will be stars. They probably also all feature women who are going to regret their decision.

In any event, The porn 'industry' makes well over 13,000 adult movies a year, amassing the ridiculous profit of $13 billion a year! That's a higher output and income than Hollywood and all of it's major blockbusters.

#11 The Most Lucrative Industry in the World

The sex industry, which comprises pornography, street prostitution, strip clubs and phone sex, is the most profitable industry known to man. There are so many different aspects to the adult industry from clubs to shops to escorts and so on. When you count it all up the adult industry is the biggest one in the entire world. Which makes sense when you think of it. We like our cars, our gadgets and our technology, but there is one thing that we like just a little bit more, and the adult industry has that market cornered.

#12 Mobile Devices Are Changing The Industry

While in the old days one would have to go to the sleazy sex shop and pick up a magazine, then later only watch adult entertainment on one's television or computer, now mobile devices are starting to become more popular. There have been reports that one in five searches for adult entertainment originated from a mobile device. The fact is, the porn industry is responsible for a lot of technological advances, including switching to DVD from tapes, and even to the creation of pop-up advertising on web pages.

#13 No Porn In North Korea

If you're caught having a spot of solo fun in North Korea while viewing adult entertainment, the punishment is good old death. If you are caught with any type of pornography in your possession, that's also a death sentence. North Korea is one of the very few areas of the world where porn is at a minimal. Someday they're all going to go crazy.

#14 Porn Is More Popular With Men Than Football

I know we covered this in a sense, but to put it in perspective a bit, the adult industry makes more than Major League Baseball and the NFL combined. So if you thought that sports was a guy's favorite pastime, well, you can guess again. There appears to be only one thing that can tear a guy away from his TV on Sunday during football season, and no, it isn't his wife asking him when he is going to rake the lawn.

#15 Guys Don’t Make A Whole Lot Of Money

The average going rate for a male performer is $500 for straight porn, but jumps up to a $1,500 for gay porn! There are only a handful of performers out there who have made a killing starring in porno films, and most of those are women. A lot of men would probably volunteer to do it for free, but there is actually a lot of technical aspects that are involved that we don't get to see. With that in mind, it's not unusual to have straight men star in a gay movie because of the money differences.

#16 The Majority Of The Directors Are Women

When we are shown the stereotypical porn producer or film maker in major movies or on TV, they are normally portrayed as sleazy, slimy guys with bad accents. The fact is, the number of female directors and producers currently ranks higher than males. And most of the female directors are former on-screen performers themselves, which makes it easier for them to direct the girls since they have been there before.

#17 Porn Isn't Just For Men Anymore

Recent study's show that women are purchasing and viewing more porn than they ever have in history. While it's not entirely clear whether they are viewing it by themselves or with a companion, the numbers are way up and the industry is launching an all out war on trying to get that growing audience. Most females interviewed said they preferred soft core porn, like motion pictures "Magic Mike," or "Fifty Shades Of Grey," but the numbers of those who said they liked to see real X-rated movies was staggering to film producers. Surprisingly, women seem to prefer gay porn over straight.
