Introduction Porn is the abbreviation for pornography which is sexual material that is explicitly portrayed for the primary purpose of sexual arousal. It may be presented in a variety of media, including books, magazines, postcards, photographs, sculpture, drawing, painting, animation, sound recording film, video and video games. Pornography has existed long before video or even photography. Pornographic material throughout history suggests that human beings have always been interested in images of sex. Pornography has often been portrayed as one of the ills of today's society and is all over the internet. Internet has become the central vehicle for the distribution of pornography as it makes pornography more publicly available to everyone who has internet access.

With the advent of internet, parents find it increasingly difficult to protect their children from pornography as most of the school children spend a large amount of time online for homework or entertainment reasons. United States Attorney General John Ashcroft has estimated that nine out of ten teens have been exposed to pornography. Today, however, internet pornography is the fast ramp to sex addiction. There has been an explosive growth of internet use not only in India but also worldwide in the last decade. Today, internet pornography is both qualitatively and quantitatively different from any that we have seen before. This is so for at least three reasons: (1) the ubiquity and accessibility of internet pornography; (2) the qualitative difference in imagery and "hard-core" nature of much of internet pornography; and (3) the sharply increased consumption of internet pornography. The internet has made it easier now than ever before for anyone with a smart phone or an iPad, and a computer or a laptop to get an erotic fix. Coupled with a greater moral decay in the culture and the fact that children's minds are still developing in maturity, addiction can be increasing in alarming proportions Studies reveal that problems of teenage pornography and sex addiction are real, devastating and increasing, and most parents don't know where to get help for their child,
