Most married men are not readily willing to admit they watch Internet porn on any level. It's like ringing a towel to get a forthcoming answer. I suppose their concerned about how it might reflect on them as a parent or husband. Single men have no problem, there's nothing to lose.

Media that consists of pedophilia, rape, kidnapping, and sometimes murder should be set aside completely and not be confused with pornography as we know it. The word, "pornography" is always used under the same context with criminal activity and naked adults posing or having consensual sex.
