According to “Top Ten Reviews”, there statistics on pornography reveals that every second, 3,075.64 dollars are spent on it, and 28,258 people view them. “In 2006, $13.33 billion dollars was spent in porn industry and it exceeds the combined revenues of ABC,CBS and NBC. However, it is very difficult to accurately determine the number of dollars spent and gained through the pornographic business, because most of the revenues are created and hidden under the shade of black market.
