Why does this site exist?
A recent survey found that more than half of teen boys (53%) and over a third of teen girls (39%) reported believing that pornography was a realistic depiction of sex.
Of the most trafficked websites worldwide, 2 porn sites are in the top 10 most visited sites, and SEMrush Traffic Analytics tells us that, porn sites received more traffic in 2020 than Twitter, Instagram, Netflix, Zoom, Pinterest, and LinkedIn combined.

Of all the elements of humanity, sexuality is the most discussed, photographed and chronicled throughout the ages, yet it is still the most shamed, reviled and misrepresented.
