The more you curb, more is the temptation to do it.
Though access to Pornography is not permitted throughout the ArabMuslim world.(though previously in Egypt, and some other nations, the state has not actively tried to prevent access to online sites).

“At least five pornographic websites are among Egypt’s 100 most frequently visited online destinations this year, according to Alexa, a division of Amazon.com that tracks online traffic patterns globally.
The statistic proves particularly significant as Egyptian web surfers may soon be stripped of all access to Internet pornography sites.
Egypt’s Prosecutor General ordered the government’s ministries of telecommunications, interior and information to begin enforcing a ban on online porn last week.
The five most visited porn sites in Egypt rank at numbers 15, 23, 29, 67, 83, with two X-rated sites appearing in the country’s top 25 most-browsed sites, the Anaween Arabic news website reported.
Similarly, there are seven pornographic sites in Tunisia that appear among the top 100 most visited sites, coming in at numbers 14, 16 and 20 and 49 60 and 93 and 97.
In Lebanon, the five most visited sites appear later down the list of 100, at numbers 33, 34, 45 and 52 and 58.”
The best way to prevent this is to spend more time with the children, getting involved with their world, talk to them, converse with them,play with them, personally attend to their needs instead of giving them money and Gizmos.
This may sound old-fashioned for people who are lazy and irresponsible.
A Disturbed , withdrawn Child
“There isn’t a town, village or hamlet in which children are not being sexually exploited,’ Sue Berelowitz tells MPs
Online porn is ‘affecting children’s thresholds of what they think is normal’ leading them to ‘enact’ scenes from porn films
Girls are being lured into parks by boys they meet online and gang-raped, she tells politicians
Blocking computers is not enough – because children are now targeted via their mobiles
Children are committing depraved sex attacks after having their minds warped by online porn, a government expert warned yesterday.
In evidence to MPs, the Deputy Children’s Commissioner claimed there ‘isn’t a town, village or hamlet in which children are not being sexually exploited’ – often by other youngsters.

They are then ‘enacting’ scenes from porn movies – often as part of gangs which subject young girls to terrible abuse.
The deputy commissioner, appointed to look after the best interests of children, backed the Mail’s campaign for controls to make it harder for youngsters to access pornographic images on computers.
MPs, charities and this paper want a new ‘opt-in’ system – where access to porn is normally blocked by the internet service provider, unless parents specifically request otherwise. Miss Berelowitz told MPs this move would be the right way to make a ‘start’.
She said parents needed to recognise children could access porn from home computers and mobiles, and they alone would not be able to control successfully what young people could see.
Appearing before the Home Affairs Select Committee, Miss Berelowitz told of her great concern about what internet porn was doing to vulnerable young minds.
She explained: ‘We’ve had boys say to us – some of the boys I’ve spoken to who’ve been involved in sexual exploitation – “it was like being in a porn movie”.
‘They have watched things and then they’ve enacted them. It has definitely affected children’s thresholds of what they think is normal.’
Her comments will increase the pressure on ministers to take drastic action to protect children from damaging images online.
The opt-in system is being resisted by internet companies, who make millions from adverts for pornographic websites. Ministers, who have been criticised for their close ties to companies such as Google, have yet to reach a final decision.
Miss Berelowitz, who is carrying out a two-year investigation on street grooming, painted a depressing picture of child sex abuse.
She added: ‘What I am uncovering is that sexual exploitation of children is happening all over the country. As one police officer who was the lead in a very big investigation in a very lovely, leafy, rural part of the country said to me, “There isn’t a town, village or hamlet in which children are not being sexually exploited”.
‘The evidence that has come to the fore during the course of my inquiry is that that, unfortunately, appears to be the case. We should start from the assumption that children are being sexually exploited right the way across the country. In urban, rural and metropolitan areas, I have hard evidence of children being sexually exploited. It is very sadistic, it is very violent, it is very ugly.’
