Reality check: only 1% of all websites on the internet are pornographic (and porn constitutes only 30% of internet traffic, according to [http://www.extremetech.com/computing/123929-just-how-big-are-porn-sites one study]). It's mostly for advertising. Although a lot of the advertisements are for porn sites. But the porn is what people really pay attention to. See the ''[[QI]]'' example below.
 
Partly a result of [[The Rule of First Adopters]]. Ubiquitous enough to result in [[Rule Thirty Four34]]. Related to the [[Porn Stash]]. In fact, for some tropers, the Internet ''is'' the [[Porn Stash]]. This trope is largely responsible for [[Discredited Trope|discrediting]] the trope [[Poor Mans Porn]]. The only people who have to resort to [[Poor Mans Porn]] are ones without the Internet.
 
Seriously, what are you doing on ''this'' website? ([[Fetish Fuel|As if we don't already know!]])

* [[Lifetime Movie of the Week|The Lifetime Original Movie]] ''[http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/cyber-seduction-his.php Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life]'' is a [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]] story about a teenager who becomes addicted to internet porn and his life is destroyed because of it. It's like a nondenominational live-action [[Chick Tract]] about how [[New Media Are Evil]].
** Red Bull as well! Mustn't forget the Red Bull.
* A somewhat example with ''[[Little Children]]'', where Sarah's husband becomes addicted to a specific porn persona on the internet, going to such an extreme that he is caught by Sarah {{spoiler|[[Caught With Your Pants Down|masturbating to the porn girl with her online bought panties over his face]].}}
Line 121:
*** "{{spoiler|[[And Another Thing|Oh and delete your internet history.]]}}" Granted, it's possible this comment had more to do with the fact that he just {{spoiler|[[Hollywood Hacking|hacked into, and sent a virus to all the world's computers.]]}}
* In ''[[Queer As Folk]]'' Ted was frequently shown, and eventually got fired for, browsing porn sites while at work. Immediately prior to him getting fired it was shown that several of his co-workers were also viewing porn on the internet while they were supposed to be working. Keep in mind Ted was an accountant.
* On ''[[Thirty30 Rock (TV)|30 Rock]]'' during their staff's temporary stay in Boston Pete informs them that they won't have internet access, and advises the guys to make arrangements "porn-wise".
** Also when Liz put Frank in charge during her absence his first directive was to take down the office firewall "so we can browse porn again."
* Referenced in ''[[The Closer]]'', when Brenda becomes the "most downloaded fully-clothed woman on the internet", thanks to a video of her getting beaten by a [[Bridezilla]].
Line 162:
** This is even funnier when you remember that in ''[[Xenosaga (Video Game)|Xenosaga]]'', their version of the internet makes use of [[Dream Land|an extradimensional space that is actually Humanity's Collective Unconscious]]. Goes to show what's ''really'' on everybody's minds...
* In ''[[Persona 2]]: Innocent Sin'', you can occasionally be asked by a demon, in your contacts, what the Internet is for. OBVIOUSLY, one of the options, no matter what character is being asked, is to say that it's for porn. It's always funny.
* A lot of the porn on the extranet in ''[[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Mass Effect]]'' involves [[Green -Skinned Space Babe|Asari]]. Some of it also involves [[Naughty Tentacles|Hanar]].
** Between 2 and 3, Cerberus attempted to remotely shut EDI down. She responded by flooding their computers with '''seven zettabytes ''' of porn (most of it was Joker's). For comparison, the entírety of The Internet around 2010 was estimated to be half a zettabyte of data.
* In ''[[Resident Evil the Darkside Chronicles]]'', heroine Claire is searching for a computer in a wrecked prison. She asks prisoner Steve if there's one to be found; he responds that he knows of three - "The guards mainly use them for games. Oh, and porn."

* In ''[[Questionable Content]]'' #112 the AnthroPC Pintsize claims to be objective at judging female breasts because of all the porn he had downloaded for Marten. In a later strip, while he browses his hard drive, he comes across his [[Porn Stash]] and gets distracted from his task. And in yet another strip Marten has to take him to be repaired by [[Yaoi Fangirl|Marigold]], who remarks on the amount of porn in Pintsize (then copies the hentai folder).
** Pintsize's hard drive has been described as a 'private universe of porn', and [http://twitter.com/pintsize0101 his Twitter account] is nothing but hentai and [[Rule Thirty Four34]]. Which Marigold then rates the artwork of.
* The situation is commented on in [http://techfox.comicgenesis.com/d/20090629.html this] page of ''[[Twenty First Century Fox (Webcomic)|21st Century Fox]]''.
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'':
