    International Journal of Arts and Humanities ISSN: 2581-3102 Volume:02, Issue:09 "September 2018" ENGAGEMENT WITH SEXUALLY EXPLICIT INTERNAL MATERIALS (SEIM) AND ITS MORAL IMPLICATIONS AMONG THE YOUTH OF CAVITE, PHILIPPINES Jonathan R. Adanza, PhD, RN St. Dominic College of Asia, Bacoor City, Cavite, Philippines INTRODUCTION The ubiquity of digital technology these days results to ease of acquiring knowledge. For instance, with the Internet, information becomes too handy and accessible particularly the youth who are considered, the "digital natives" of this era. This opens the door for any form of influences to creep into the lives of the youth. When compared two decades ago, pornography today is so rampant online. In a study, every second 28,258 users are watching pornography on the internet and 35% of all internet downloads are related to pornography. [1] With this and perhaps, other reason, moved the Philippine government to block internet users from accessing the world's most popular pornographic websites. The blocking happened only 10 days after a survey showed that for the third year running Filipinos had spent more time, per visit, which is 12 minutes and 45 seconds on Pornhub than any other nation. Access to Pornhub, Xvideos, Redtube and several other sites was forbidden on PCs, laptops and mobile phones. Users were redirected to a page notifying them of such a ban. This act was in pursuant to Republic Act 9775 or the Anti-Child Pornography Law. [2] Assumptions were made that online pornography, or in this study, it is interchangeable with, Sexually Explicit Internal Material (SEIM), is one of the causes why there is an increasing incidence of rapes and related crimes, premarital sex, and teenage pregnancies.

Web pornography represents a large fraction of the Internet traffic, with thousands of websites and millions of users. Studying web pornography consumption allows understanding human behaviors and it is crucial for medical and psychological research. However, given the lack of public data, these works typically build on surveys, limited by differ- ent factors, e.g., unreliable answers that volunteers may (involuntarily) provide. In this work, we collect anonymized accesses to pornography websites us- ing HTTP-level passive traces. Our dataset includes about 15 000 broad- band subscribers over a period of 3 years. We use it to provide quantita- tive information about the interactions of users with pornographic web- sites, focusing on time and frequency of use, habits, and trends. We dis- tribute our anonymized dataset to the community to ease reproducibility and allow further studies. Keywords: Passive Measurements; Web Pornography; Adult Content; User Behaviour; Network Monitoring. 1 Introduction Pornography and technology have enjoyed a close relationship in the last decades, with technology hugely increasing the capabilities of the porn industry. From the limited market reachable through public theatres, the introduction of the video- cassette recorder in the 1970s abruptly changed the way of accessing pornog- raphy, allowing to access pornography in the privacy and comfort of each indi- arXiv:1904.11723v2 [cs.CY] 4 May 2021 vidual home.
