Kiwis almost never look for pornography on the web, a survey partly conducted by AUT University has found.
The survey of 1250 people in 30 countries showed that fewer than 5 per cent of Kiwis admit using the internet for pornography daily. More than 80 per cent said they never looked for sexual content on the web.
Alexa is a bit more forthcoming: 6 of the top 100 sites visited by New Zealanders are porn. #s 46, 64, 65, 66, 73, and 81, at least judging by titles or tags that are obvious in the Alexa headings. If folks are more likely to block tracking toolbars like Alexa when surfing that kind of content, then these results understate things. The one ranked #46 here is ranked #54 globally.
Or maybe the 5% in the survey really downloads a whole lot of content. But I doubt it.
The 1250 responses were from NZ. Similiar surveys were done in 29 other countries to allow comparisons.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I doubt the porn stat also.
Thanks, have updated. It's bloody weird though. I can understand reticence and underreporting in surveys on anything like number of sexual partners, drug use, pornography use, and so on - anywhere there's social disapprobation. But surveys on Kiwis consistently put our women as having some of the highest numbers of partners. So why the underreporting only on porn? Very odd.
