India is in the throes of wondering how a formerly conservative culture is now the subject of rampant violent gang rape and an enormous sex industry...what is happening?I was a student in Bangalore India is 1966. We were free love "hippies of the sixties" and we found ourselves in the most sexually conservative environment we could imagine. The simply act of holding hands in public would bring on a stern rebuke from older Indians. Pornography was not visible and the movies were strictly trimmed of any sexual content.
Although there was prostitution it was totally secret and involved only the lowest caste women. So what has happened in India in just a few decades to the point that Mumbai, formerly Bombay has an enormous sex trade and equally skyrocketing AIDS epidemic. What has happened that gangs of men are assaulting women on buses and most recently foreign tourists. What has changed?
Movies are still conservative and families are still careful with their daughters yet all of India is no accessing the Internet and Internet porn use is rampant there as it is here. I think it is a safe assumption that the rapes will continue to rise, the sex trade to explode and child pornography will become a serious issue in the next few years as the porn culture of the net takes hold...just look at America.
Anyone who reads this blog knows that I operate an Internet filtering company at wisechoice.net. I am trying to blow the trumpet that Internet porn use often releases behaviors that we never could have imagined. How could so many school teachers and police be tied up with child porn . Men are having behaviors triggered that are ruining their lives and those whom they associate with simply by having a diet of Internet porn. Do yourselves and society a favor and self censor yourself. Install filtering and accountability reporting. keep the flame of pornography away from the emotional dynamite that many of us have inside ourselves.
About the author: Since 1998 after nearly falling into this same trap I began to hunt for solutions for porn use by adults. I came up with a combination of a filtering technology and accountability reporting called Wisechoice.net. Rather than a solution designed for guarding children, Wisechoice is designed to protect husbands and marriages from porn. The addictive properties are such that putting a wall around ones self is often the only way short of getting rid of the computer entirely and it is effective. I would suggest checking our solution out or one of the other filters available.
I am interested in Indians have to say about this....
