Poll: Your first run-in with pornography

[Krantos]

Not really sure. No real story attached to it. My dad read Playboy and left them in the bathroom. Simple.

It was several years later that I saw a truly pornographic image. Bear in mind, of course, that this was the mid 90's so the internet wasn't really around then.

When I was 9-11, don't remember exact age. My family used to rent out the basement for extra cash and one day I decided to show two (former) friends one room when the guy living there was out.

We found a stash of porn mags lying on the floor near the bed. We looked at them for a while, but then I heard the guy's car roll up and we quickly got the fuck out of there.

Amusingly enough, between the time we found them and the time I heard the guy roll up, roughly 10 minutes, there was absolutely none of us said a word.

Wow. I was a late bloomer from the look of this forum. I was 13 and I'd asked to borrow my brothers iPod touch. I went on safari and saw porn. I even remember it being Avril Lavigne nude. And then I beat the sausage.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

uh... trying to separate 'first porn-watching' and 'first wank'... either 7 or 9.

 

[Dango]

8 years old, my older brother and his friend were watching it on TV.

My first exposure was fairly late in the game, 14-15ish, but I really didn't care for it much.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

I was Nine think and my friend had access to a laptop, and he showed me a great many of things.

 

[Fenra]

I guess getting exposed to "page 3" of "The Sun" kinda counts, that was around 7 or 8

As for actual porn, well I made the mistake at 13 I think it was of searching for disney characters for a school media project without safe search, that was both the first time I saw porn (some woman with mouse ears on while.... yeah I've tried to block out that image) and my first exposure to rule 34! (what the hell was my reaction back then! the porn was wierd enough then I see that! it burns us!) A double whammy!

A friend of mine brought a porno magazine to school. I was in year 8, so 13 or 14.

Largely thanks to my father, I've been around pornography my entire life. I chose 9-11 because I feel that age range was probably when I really noticed it though. Not entirely sure which event happened first, but I remember coming across a deck of nude lady playing cards at my dad's house. He also had naked lady pictures hanging in his garage. Not to mention his "dirty magazine" collection scattered throughout his place. But also at a very young age I recall stumbling across a Playboy in the comic book rack in a mall book store. Definitely wasn't the X-Men I was looking for, but it was entertaining none-the-less.

Course these days I'd imagine kids could easily stumble across (much worse) porn at a very young age thanks to the internet. Didn't have such an easy means to distribute porn back in my day. I had to walk two miles uphill in 4 feet of snow for my softcore erotica! Thirty miles barefoot for the hardcore stuff!

 

[Truth Cake]

Dad left out his stash once when he went out to pick up some fast food and he left me home... I got curious, popped in a DVD and... had no idea of what was happening at the time, but it made me feel... good.

The rest, as they say, is history.

2005 i was ten i found a forum and someone linked to a site i think it was deviantart it was late and i clicked on the link it didn't take long for me to find a porn pic and since i had recently started puberty i browsed for a few minutes doing what people going trough puberty do i blame that bastard my dozens of fetishes but i also thank him because now i have the mentality of "i can give myself sex i can't give myself a relationship" which i think will help me in the long term

When I was 18, around 5 years ago, went over to a friends house to play poker (first time I did that too), and one of them put up porn on the tv in the room.

I was too busy trying to figure out poker to pay any real attention to the porn, haven't had any interest in porn, even since then.

 

[Fijiman]

It was about eight or nine, maybe even ten, years ago and I saw a commercial for Tripping the Rift. My brain must have thought something along the lines of "sweet! new cartoon I can watch" and the rest is history. I also learned fairly quickly while looking up cheat codes and other general game info for the Ratchet & Clank games on google that, unless you have safe search or something on, if you haven't found what you what you're looking for within the first ten to fifteen pages you're probably not going to and that anything after those pages has a 40-75% chance of being porn.

 

[Lev The Red]

i was like 9.
i lived in a military neighborhood. my dad and the husband of our next door neighbor were deployed. my mom and the neighbor's wife didn't really get along, but that didn't keep them from trading VHSs of porn back and forth in one kind of bag or box or another, using me as the courier so they didn't have to look at each other.

one weekend, i was dragging a big rubbermaid bin to the neighbor's house. it wasn't heavy, but i could tell there was something in it, so i opened it up.

the title was some combination of "young," "white," "love," "big," & "black."

 

[Strain42]

Don't remember the exact age I was, but I had just stayed up late and was watching HBO or something and a softcore porn movie started up. To this day I actually remember what movie it was, but I'm not going to say what it was.

 

[Random Fella]

I must have been about 10 or 11 when my friends showed it to me on their computers
At least I think that's how it went down... Or did I search myself from interest?
I'm pretty sure it was my friends showing me though, and I must have been around that age since I'm sure I was still in late primary

 

[mysecondlife]

My friend wanted to know if there was naked pictures of Britney Spears online.

There were none. But that's my first run-in with pornography.

I was in 6th grade at the time. So I think its when I was 12 years old.

 

[loc978]

I think I was nine (so it was some time in the late 80s to early 90s. I might have been 7, 8, or 10. It's a bit unclear at this point, being over 20 years ago)... found some VHS recordings of 70s BDSM stuff when exploring my uncle's RV and was curious as to what some of it meant (though at this point, I'd already been to a bachelor party with a stripper, so I was familiar with female anatomy, if not what to do with it). Needless to say, I got a quick (if wrong) education from that.

 

[NoOne852]

It was when I was in 8th grade (I think I was 12 or 13). I was doing research for "Fall of the House of Usher" and I needed to find some more information on it so I went through several webpages filled with links with no useful information. At one point I came across a link saying something like "fall of the house of usher website" so I click on it... safe to say it had nothing to do with what I was looking for and right then my computer decided to lock up as I frantically tried hitting the close button since my parents were in the same room. Luckily they didn't notice it so that was a relief.
