Robin Goad at Hitwise has just Tweeted that we’re spending more time on social networking sites than fiddling around with online porn!

 

Apparently this change took place in October but Robin’s been keeping his beady eye on it and although the gap hasn’t widened much, our love for keeping in touch is still out-weighing our need for titillation!

 

Compared with the US, it’s taken us Brits a while to take a virtual cold shower as our American cousins placed “poking” over porn in mid-2007.

 

From this BBC video interview with Stephen Fry and the proliferation of other celebrities who are boarding the good ship Twitter, surely porn will be left in its wake over here?

Keeping up to date on Twitter/Facebook/MySpace/LinkedIn etc etc leaves no time for the age old pastime of looking at porn.

Social networking has seen a massive explosion over the past few years (even my Mum is on Facebook) and is now becoming the 1st choice for communicating over telephone and even 'standard' email. In our hectic 'wonder-what-he's-up-at-the-moment' lifestyle porn just doesn't stand a chance.

Wasn't it Woody Allen's joke that masturbation is really just sex with someone you love? The internet enables bulk vanity publishing, as well as bulk dodgy spam.
