THE next time Junior is surfing the Internet, you might want to watch if he is looking for sexually explicit content.
A global survey, conducted from February last year to last month, showed that "sex" is the fourth-most-searched word online among tweens and teens.
More worrisome is that the word "porn" was the fourth most-searched term by children aged seven and under. For tweens aged eight to 12, it was their 11th most-searched term.
Psychiatrists and social workers told Singapore's My Paper that they are not surprised by the results for teens, but were puzzled by those for kids aged seven and under.
Some voiced concern that exposure to sexually graphic content at such an early age could have a detrimental effect on a child's development and perception of sex later on in life.
The study, done by American information-technology security firm Symantec for the first time and released last month, anonymously tracked 14.6 million global searches on sites such as YouTube, Google and Wikipedia submitted to the OnlineFamily.Norton filtering service.
Psychiatrist Marcus Tan from Healthway Medical said that the danger is that some teens who are sexually curious might try out the acts they see on pornographic websites and view promiscuity as acceptable.

Ambiguous Image Perception
Hi. This is another interesting email from my friend. Check it out.
*** content starts here *** 
You saw a couple in an intimate pose, right?
Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.
What they WILL see, however, is the nine dolphins in the picture!
So, I guess we've already proven you're not a young innocent child... now... If it's hard for you to find the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is indeed corrupt and you probably need help.
haha *just kidding*
