Adult Entertainment and Pornography

Overview of Adult Entertainment and Pornography in relation to cyber crime: [1]The Web has also created multiple venues for consenting adults to directly engage each other in online sexual conversations via chat rooms, instant messenger programs, and streaming video. Initial contacts in these manners prompt some adults to access additional commercial Web sites offering discreet casual sexual encounters between singles, married couples, and people who favor alternative lifestyles and various fetishes. Much of this content and many of these activities are accessible through standardized credit card payment systems. However, a considerable amount of pornography is available free of charge and is often used to advertise other sex-related products and adult entertainment services.
