Abstract

This study examines the factors associated with the contents of immoral or pornographic contents in Internet groups. The research method is survey and the tool was Internet questionnaire. All the users of internet pornographic groups have been our statistical community. The questionnaires have been sent to users’ emails and 115 users have submitted their answers to the researchers. The findings show that the most members of this group are single men with a mean age of 26 years, which have a bachelor degree and are employed. The weekly average visits are 7.13 times, 80 percent of them are interested in pornographic subjects and 82 percent are satisfied with the porn contents. 60 percent of the users were not monitored by their entourage. The results showed that age, education, satisfaction with the contents, and interest in pornographic subjects were directly and significantly related to the amount of visits to the groups. The average visits to the groups were higher among men, singles and unemployed. Finally, the amount of satisfaction with the pornographic contents, the level of monitoring, and being member in other groups, have a significant relationship with the number of their visits to the groups.
