Web sex epidemic hits Blighty

Currant Bun feigns shock, posts pic of naked woman

THOSE TIRELESS arbiters of good taste and moral guardians of family values at The Sun have revealed shocking new findings that people look at porn on the Web.

In what the Currant Bun describes as a 'far-reaching' survey, agony granny Deidre has 'discovered' that 'huge numbers of people are using the net to cheat on partners and Internet porn is destroying their sex lives.'

Ten per cent of the 4,000 people surveyed claimed they'd had sex with 11 or more people they'd met on the Internet. But being a bastion of moral rectitude, the paper naturally fails to point out if they were in the same room at the time or were merely engaged in some one-handed surfing.

Eighty per cent of respondents admitted to looking at Web porn, which suggests to us that the other 20 per cent are lying.

The Sun's agony aunt expresses her fear that the Internet and mobile phones are leading to runaway promiscuity and general naughtiness.

"Sex education these days needs to include the rules for safe sex on the Internet – and tactics to help the addicted wean themselves off quick online thrills and move on to real-life, caring relationships," admonishes a shocked Deidre Sanders.

The Sun's sense of shock and outrage is amply illustrated by its choice of illustration for the story - a topless Page Three Stunna pretending to use a laptop.

Good idea...

I think this is a wonderful idea as recently my PC gave me clamidia.

In fact, I suspect my PC is sleeping with the Nintendo Wii. I mean seriously... I suspect my Wii has been sleeping around! I don't know who my Wii has been with!

Just an Advert

Looks like it was a lead-in for the Sun's own Internet Dating Service.
"Don't just have sex on the internet - use our dating service and find true love" - what a crock...

the other 20%

Um, was it a male-only survey, in which case I would tend to agree, or was it, umm, bi-sexual, in which case I might be showing some chauvinist biais by wondering how much of the 20% were the only females that participated ?
