The Australian sex industry has demanded that the sale of X-rated videos be legalized. Except in the capital Canberra region, it is legal to buy but illegal to sell porn videos.

The majority had viewed the porn at home, 57 percent alongside a partner.

"Access to X-rated movies through cable TV and the Internet has made the genre more commonplace and more accessible," Francois Kraus, who carried out the study on behalf of a porn movie company, told AFP.

"French people now are more open towards X-rated movies," he added.
