   Could be the people that put the porn ads up focus on websites that target men.

   Accidentally

   I accidentally read stupid crap on the internet like this "article" thing of some retard's thoughts on a retard statistic. I hate the internet.

   Try searching for any random term on Google's image search without "Safe Search" being enabled and you'll end up with *some* kind of pr0n on your screen at some point.

   For example: try "tech" (first image returned is a scantily clad Asian girl) and "dirt" gets you a naked woman sprawled on the ground in image #2. Sheesh...avoiding porn (should one want to for some reason) on the Internet isn't just nontrivial, it's actually a bit of a challenge.

   accidental porn

   The truth is that the 3% of women that view porn at work are only recognised because they're looking at what men think porn is. I think that if you counted all of the women by what women consider porn to be the number would be much closer to men. It isn't a difference in gender, the difference is perception, and as long as we keep holding up the male ideal of porn when making these studies men will keep looking bad

   "Seems more like people are answering the survey based on what they think they should say, rather than what's true."
   
   Um, no duh.
   
   Usually I find Techdirt pretty insightful, but this was pretty pointless.

   Well no shit, of course people are lying.
   Seriously, this is like saying "NEWS FLASH: children lie when they don't want to get in trouble".

    Great point! I like soft porn too. This is one guy who doesn't like watching cock. I probably look at all the non-porn porn women do, with the addition of lesbians.

    yay for personalized search

    of course for those who are trying to avoid porno with more of a motivation than just to keep their jobs (like keeping their mind pure for their spouce (or future wife in my case)), will find that it is easier to avoid porno the more you do avoid porno when using google's personalized search because less of that type of result shows up. and for those who dont have a gmail account... ask someone for an invite today.

    Depending on what kind of offices were in the study, it could have been fact that there were simply more men.
    
    Then again, nobody ever said they were being honest.

    What exactly was accidental?

    When admitting accidentally surfing for porn at work, the question is, what was accidental?
    
    1. I was surfing for porn, but forgot that I was at work. (Clicked the wrong bookmark by mistake.)
    2. I was surfing for something else, but accidentally got porn. (Clicked the wrong search result by mistake.)
