Chapter 4 PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION This chapter deals with presentation, analysis and interpretation of data gathered.

The data gathered from the respondents were presented in tables, analyzed and interpreted base on the data and information gathered by the researcher with the aid of the questionnaire. The tables and figures are useful in describing the result and in showing the trends and emerge in the analysis. A descriptive statistics through computation of mean and standard deviation were used to determine the perceived effect of pornography on behavior and social function. Demographic profile is a statistical view of a population, generally including age, religion and so on. Demographic analysis provides insights into the links between these characteristics. Demographic analysis used to establish the percentage of the total population involved in a particular resource use activity. The status profile of the respondents described in terms of age, gender and religion. The factors that contributed to exposure to pornography are personal and social factors. Profile of the respondents in terms of Age

The age of an individual is an important variables in the process of pornography. The response of an individual being exposed to pornography varies within their age and maturity. Table 1 presents the frequency and distribution of age Table 1 Profile of the Respondents in Terms of Age Age 18 years old 19 years old 20 years old 21 years old Total Frequency 10 21 20 9 60 Percentage 17% 35% 33% 15% 100%

The table revealed that out of 60 respondents, there are 10 or 17% who are 18 years old, 21 or 35% who are 19 years old, 20 or 33% who are 20 years old and 9 or 15% who are 21 years old. Twenty one (21) or 35% of the respondents who are exposed to pornography are 19 years old. This agrees with the statements of Traore (2004), who stated that, adolescent have distinct needs at different stages of the process of their development, and, therefore, different approach are required for reaching and serving them. Although they are by no means a homogenous group, many common characteristic define their lives and affect their ability to access and use reproductive health information and service. Specially, adolescent, unlike most adult, are not fully capable of understanding complex concepts, or the relationship between the behavior and consequences, or the degree of degree they have or can have over sexual decision making. This inability may make them particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation and high risk behavior. Profile of the Respondents in Terms of Gender

Gender plays an important factor in being exposed to pornography which in fact being male and female affects person knowledge and behavior. According to the statement of Brooks (2013), pornography gives men the false impression that sex and pleasure are entirely divorced from relationships. In other words, pornography is inherently self-centeredsomething a man does by himself, for himselfby using another women as the means to pleasure, as yet another product to consume.

Table 2 presents the frequency and distribution of gender Table 2 Profile of the respondents in Terms of Gender Gender Male Female Total Frequency 50 10 60 Percentage 83% 17% 100%

The table above shows that the majority of the respondents are male which comprises 83% of the total respondents while the remaining 17% are female respondents, which means that most of the respondents who are being exposed to pornography are males.

Fifty (50) or 83% of the respondents who are exposed to pornography are male. This agrees with the statement of Anderson (2004), who stated thateExperiences are gender exclusives. This saves embarrassment amongst students and teaches them only what is necessary to know based on their gender specially in terms of sensitive stuffs like sex or pornography, more likely men are usually has the more courage to get into this kind of topic. Profile of Respondents in Terms of Religion

Religion varies as an important factor in sex and pornography.
