I recently wrote an article on the 5 things you don't know about pornography. I've managed to find another 5 things equally as bizarre and unusual that you probably didn't know.
You may or may not have heard that pornography depicting small breasts is banned in Australia. That is actually half true. The actual ruling is that pornography with women who appear to be under 18 (even if they are older) is banned. This would mean that sites such as Little Lupe featuring Lupe Fuentes could be frowned upon (despite her being 20 years old when the site was created). The laws were introduced in 2005 when Australian politics was dominated by a radical right wing party. The reasoning behind it is that such pornography encourages pedophilia. The laws are still in place because after all what political party wants to appear soft on pedophiles.
It has been widely reported that porn is punishable by death in North Korea. As far as I can tell this is based on one article that talks of a soldier who crossed the border into China and made his own porn. While death sounds pretty extreme for what he did we are talking North Korea and he may have been AWOL or in some other way insubordinate. I doubt the average North Korean citizen, should they be caught with some Jenna Jameson bootleg would be put to death. Though I still wouldn't want to be in their shoes.
You may already be aware of some Japanese men's obsession with schoolgirls. There's a market for soiled schoolgirls underpants in Japan (known as buru-sera) where they can even be bought in vending machines. Not to mention the wide array of suspect Manga cartoons. But did you know that ch!ld p0rn is legal?
Distribution is illegal in Japan but only fairly recently (2003) and only after international pressure. However despite efforts to criminalise it, possession of cp is still legal.
You might think that Utah is all religious and pius. No one watches porn there right? Not so according to Harvard Researcher Ben Edelman who discovered that Utah has the highest rate of porn subscribers.
I personally blame polygamy. There's a ratio of around 50-50 men and women in the world. So if one guy marries 5 women that leaves 4 desperate lonely guys turning to porn. It's just logic right?
This guy got busted looking at porn at work on live TV in Australia. It starts at around 55 secs in YouTube Notice the look of "Oh shit" on his face right at the end of the live news cross.
