In Great Britain government officials were warned that a ‘guinea pig’ generation of children is growing up addicted to hardcore internet pornography.

A disturbing report reveals that four out of five 16-year-old boys and girls regularly access porn online while one in three ten-year-olds has seen explicit material. It also cites figures showing that more than a quarter of young patients being treated at a private clinic are receiving help for addiction to pornography.

There are fears that the rise of internet pornography is leaving teenagers unable to maintain normal relationships and even increasing their susceptibility to grooming by sexual abusers. Some government officials are demanding that internet providers offer parents a simple way of filtering out adult content.
