“When I first watched it, I never thought I'd like porn,” 24-year-old Seema says, admitting she now enjoys it on a regular basis.

Q: I watch a lot of pornography and almost on a daily basis. I also indulge in online sex. Am I cheating?

I have never met my cybersex partner and I don’t wish to. But I like the online sexual relationship I share with her. Does this mean I’m being unfaithful to my wife? Santosh, Varanasi

So there’s a raging debate about pornography all over India these days.

Cartoon porn star Savita Bhabhi pulls in millions of users to one of India’s 100 most-visited websites.

Launched in 2008, the sexy housewife was a sensation. She was soon drawing 60 million hits a month. Why the success? Is it because a comic strip safely leaves more to the imagination? Or because the storyline breaks such a juicy selection of taboos?

Sexy Indian housewife Savita Bhabhi attracts more than 200,000 visitors to her porn site every day. Even though she’s only a cartoon character. 

And that's in spite of a ban and attacks by angry politicians. Nearly nine out of ten visitors to kirtu.com are from India – it’s now one of the country’s 100 most popular websites.

Porn dominates the internet in terms of hits and income – and now it’s changing the way people have sex. That’s because the only sex education many people get is from pornography.
