Sjönell says the campaign has three main goals. The first is to help the cyberporn-a-holics. “Get off the screen and try to get in touch with some real girls instead,” he advises the smut viewers. “Why don’t you go out to a bar and try to talk to somebody?” But part of the impetus is also revenge for the explosion of porn sites. “They’re trying to take over words that are not in the pornographic...
Internet access has opened Korea to a flood of smut from around the world. Homegrown Internet porn is still rare but Korean IJ sites?which initially presented themselves as talk shows?have proliferated in recent months, putting titillating images and dirty talk, in Korean, just a keyboard stroke away from any kid with a computer. That's alarmed this socially conservative country where twentysomething women living at home have curfews and parents still try to arrange marriages for their children. News reports earlier this year of teenagers selling child porn online have heightened concern over what the conservative Chosun Ilbo...
Unfortunately, the Internet has created many unhappy endings. Teenage girls are offering themselves for sex at chat sites, and police have set up a special squad to patrol cyberspace. In a society where smut isn't readily available, easy access to the Internet is exposing more kids to pornography, says Kim Yong Hak, a sociology professor at Yonsei University.

And it allows us to turn our minds from matters that no one wants to discuss, matters in which we are all complicit...
...always been with us--from the cave paintings of Lascaux through the priapic statues of Greece and Rome and the fevered scribblings of the Marquis de Sade. But what we are witnessing, in the age of the VCR and the Internet, in nothing less than a revolution in smut. Pornography 30 years ago was a $10 million industry, a seamy demi-monde of adult theaters and run-down bookstores. For most people, porn meant Playboy, pin-up girls and maybe a deck of dirty playing cards for stag parties. Nothing else was available...
