Poll: Your first run-in with pornography

[Jonluw]

Also, since you posted the rules, I have a question for the mods or anyone who might know: What the hell does "advocating" porn mean? If you say porn is good you get banned???

I'm fairly certain that the 'advocating' part of that sentence only refers to illegal material and that it's just poorly written.
[sub]That said, I did check up with Nasrin to make sure the thread was ok.[/sub]

...people put on porn with other people there? That sounds incredibly awkward...

Apparently, that isn't too uncommon with younger people.
I remember one of my first experiences with porn while being old enough to be genuinely interested happened when I and a friend went to visit the aforementioned older friends. I was 11 or 12, I think.
We entered one of their rooms, and found them both surfing some sort of site.
They then showed us the stuff. I think it might've been of questionable legality, really.

What I remember best is that they laughed at me for staring...
Sure, I'd seen porn before. Mostly scat, as I mentioned, but this was actually hot.

Back when I was a kid, the internet wasn't around and so people actually used to buy porno mags. Every once in a while we'd find a discarded porno (or some ripped-out pages) lying in the street or in a playground or something, and to me and my friends it was like finding buried treasure.

"Eww, gross! ...and yet strangely hypnotic..."

There is this sand dune near my grandma's house that always has the weirdest sex things. There have been quite a few issues of playboy, pants, lube, condoms among other things. Funny how she never banned us from going there but I don't think she ever noticed it. People complain that the internet is ruining children, but kids have always found porn.

7.

I was switching channels on a hotel TV. I came across a porn preview channel with a women bouncing up and down naked screaming. I actually didn't notice the man under her. I just giggled at the silly naked lady and moved on.

I must have been about 8/9. After a swimming lesson, I found a small cut-out image of a woman from some porn magazine in my changing cubicle.

I also remember my mother confronting me with it after she found it in my jeans pocket. I don't think she bought the 'my friends planted it on me as an ongoing joke' story I gave her.

 

[Ddgafd]

I think it was in second or third grade(I'd be 8 or 9 at the time). A guy in our class brought a magazine he "borrowed" from his big brother and another one brought a stack of lickable cards. Yup, my classmates were weird.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I was 7-ish, and I noticed my dad watches some secret magazines (ya porn came in paper form once, it was pretty ludicrous).
And he always put them away when I was around so I checked out his stash to see what the big secret is, and woah... it was naked people... wait that's nothing special, what's this secrecy about then?

So my dad later told me "you will understand some day", baffling at the time but he was right, when I turned 13 I totally got it.

 

[Pebkio]

I was 13. I was in Amsterdam. It was on a shirt for sale. It featured Micky and Minnie Mouse.

The end.

When I was 14 my family took in one of my cousins, who was having a hard time with her family, I was never sure why. But she had her own laptop. Which weighed about 12 lbs and the size of the bible the pope uses, we all remember the kind.

But she left it open one day and I was like "hey a new thing I haven't used yet" while going through her files I found pictures, and was like, "ohh, pictures on a computer" while looking over everything I found a file in the pictures called.. "new folder" hey new pictures, maybe the computer makes it's own pictures! This is the year 1999! Little did I know what 'interspecies' was.. if you catch my drift.. I still have images burned in my sinus' and still can't look at my cousin the same.

(interspecies =/= interacial)

I was 9, my friend found his parents porn stash, and was eager to show me. Sex was more of a humorous thing back then mind you, more of an interest and incite into the adult world. It was awesome. Didn't really find it arousing as far as I could remember.

Some time later I became curious all on my own at the age of about 10 or 11, around about the time I started getting interested in sex, and with unlimited access to the internet... Well, let's just say internet pornography will forever have a place in my browsing history.

 

[zspartancats]

I was 12 and playing counter-Strike. We all know you can have your own spray. Well,somebody sprayed a porn image. Being 12, I was more focused on the game then some naked lady.

 

[Yopaz]

We used to get some pornographic material in the mail when I was young, so my first encounter was probably when I was like 5-6. First time I can remember is about 8-9 though when I found some magazines.

 

[Psykoma]

Around 11. Furry stuff. I became a furry without knowing that side of the fandom existed and... well. Connect the dots.

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.

...people put on porn with other people there? That sounds incredibly awkward...

The evening definitely would have been improved without it.

 

[Sealpower]

I was 7 or 8. There was a computer with internet access at school that we sometimes got to use and this was back in the day when the internet was a valuable commodity, mind you. So we didn't really know what to do online. One standard type of entertainment was to simply enter the name of some random class mate in a search engine and then clicking the first link.

Needless to say, we had quite fun at the expense of the girl whose name was the first to yield a porn result. Poor girl.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

When I was 7 I found my Dads porno mags. Lots of BDSM and domination.
Then my mom caught me looking at it and called my Dad. Who came home and then they both explained what it was and asked how I feel about, etc. All in all the whole experience was very traumatic. Considering my tastes now days I can certainly blame it on that event.

 

[Zhandarr]

My brothers friend of 16 showed me when I was about 11. It was pretty funny and I was kinda shocked at how easy it was to find but yeah. I remember trying to watch it after that and various times afterwards but never really got the appeal. I later discovered this was because I was gay. Good times

 

[LordFisheh]

Probably around 12. And unbelievably, it didn't irrevocably break my soul and send me crazy. Nor do I consider women to be possessions or harass passers-by. I'm not sure why we're so determined to 'protect' people from it, to be honest.

 

[Muspelheim]

Well, we stumbled on an old, weathered cache of prawnrags in the woods near our school when I was around ten or so, but all we really did with it was bombarding nearby construction workers with them. We figured it was theirs, after all.

As for when it got interesting, well... The internet was there.

 

[Soods]

Exposed to sexual references at the age of 7, when I watched Beavis and Butt-head Do America. It wasn't quite like the other cartoons I had watched.
Exposed to pornography at the age of 9, a friend showed me and some of my other friends a tape. It was funny.

I don't get why kids can watch people lose their lives, but creating life is such a forbidden secret that only adults can handle.

 

[redisforever]

Umm... probably 9? I think I was at a friend's house, and, being idiots, we were browsing eMule. If you don't know what that is, it's like bittorrent, but shit, and full of viruses. I think we were looking up things about wrestling, as my friend was a big wrestling fan. Then we... found... something else... Eugh...... *shudder*

I've tried to wipe it from my memory, to be honest.

I don't see why we try to hide it, kids will find it anyways, and if they do, they probably won't care, as they won't know what it is.
