Poll: Your first run-in with pornography

[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.

It 12-14 for me. Not sure exactly when in that slot but other then glimpses then probably on 4chan. Yes I was one of the ever beloved 12 year olds on there.

6-8 i guess, i was just surfing through the channels and there it was. Honestly i don't remember, but i know that it was on TV. I guess i really didn't give a shit, seeing how most movies have sex scenes in them, so it was hardly news, just a bit more revealing.

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...

I saw naked pictures a few times, but the "big one" was me and a friend were flipping through the channels at his house when I was around 12, and we came across the late night Cinemax. I saw a flash of boobs and told him to change it. He replied, "well, you gotta grow up sometime" and from what I remember, that in my mind completely justified watching the dirty movie.

Luckily enough it wasn't hardcore, seeing how it was Cinemax, and I think that was about the time I really started getting into girls. Yeah, that kid though... one of those people your parents warn you about.

Oh, and then there was another time where my school website had a .org after the name, instead of a .com. So if you accidentally typed yadida.com, it would take you to a very nifty porn site. Let's just say the school got into a good deal of trouble for that.

Wow, I found pornography at a late age: 15. Well, okay, I knew what pornography was at the time, but I didn't dare look for it. A friend of mine told me of this thing called "hentai," which, from description, sounded hilarious! But one day, while fooling around on YouTube, I found a suggested video which was labeled as "hentai." Figured it was worth a laugh, so I checked it out. I only watched thirty seconds of it, and it was very softcore, no nudity or anything, but I felt I needed to look away as soon as I could. I turned off my computer and did something else. I felt dirty and didn't check it out for some time...

Of course now, I... You know, I think I'll just leave it there. <_<

About 10.
Parents were recently divorced and I was with my father at the time.
Looking around on our desktop computer (I believe I was randomly playing this wacky new invention called "Flash Games") when I found in the "bookmarks" section a link to some teen pr0nz pictures.

I more laughed at it than anything considering my dad reprimanded me for looking at it... even though it was on HIS bookmarks XD

I still give him shit for that.

When I was about 8 I was watching a movie late at night, when the movie was over started a anime and I decided to watch it too... 10 minutes in and a women got raped by tentacles... I was utterly confused back them.

 

[Berenzen]

I watched Fast Times at Richmond High when I was 10, maybe 11. It's softcore, but I'd still say it counts as porn. The hardcore stuff- if erotic literature counts, I picked up a book at a used book sale that had -very- descriptive scenes in it, if literature doesn't count. I think I was 13 when I discovered pornhub from a friend.

 

[Zio_IV]

Hmmm...

Pretty sure I was about 11 when I found one of my dad's magazines.

I thought it was awesome, personally. Those were the days...

 

[Blue Hero]

Why is 6 the youngest option I'm allowed to choose? What if my first run in with pornography was when I was younger than 6 years old? I feel like I'm being discriminated against for experiencing things early.

 

[Tharwen]

12. I went into a friend's dorm and they were all in there watching videos of girls putting their tongues inside one another.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Very first time I saw anything of the sort was around 8. I was spending the night at my 25 year old, older brother's house and I was digging though his videos when I cam across a couple of pornos. I had no idea what they were and I quickly dismissed them.

A year or two later, I got a gaming magazine. Said magazine was fairly normal, except for some VERY softcore calendars.
I was initially frightened, but didn't know why.

My first experience where I knew what it was and what to do with it, came at around 11 when a certain gaming magazine I was subscribed to went out of business. As compensation for the last 6 months of my subscription, the company sent me 6 issues of Maxim, finally and truly obliterating what little innocence I had left.

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???

So just in case, porn is bad, m'kay...

 

[Stravant]

This isn't so much porn, but when I was 10 or 11 my parents were watching a movie (Babel) that had nudity in it with me.

 

[robert022614]

Mine was 7 it was before the internets took over and all the kids in my apartments would all hang out so we all shared stuff we found and some magazines were one of those things.

 

[viranimus]

I honestly cant recall exactly what it was. I know I was well under the age of 5 though.

Perhaps the oldest I can actually point to was a copy of playboy when Tracy and Shannon Tweed were still actually somewhat attractive.

Spoiler: This

Spoiler: No come on in

Spoiler: its safe, really

Spoiler: I swear, now just click the thing. You know if you came this far your not going to turn back now

Spoiler: See

told you it was safe.See.. everyones got clothes on, and this is a fairly iconic cover that was typically shown on regular TV promoting the magazine back in the late 90s and tell me you dont see more explicit on T rated video game box art today.

Seriously, back then, Tracy tweed had a LOT to do with fueling my unnatural weakness for redheads. Shame neither of them aged well at all.

Cybering through msn messenger with a few different girls I met on the neopets forums when I was 13....

Yeah I probably cybered with some 40 year old dudes for all I know, None of them ever wanted to meet me though thank god.

I remember one girl actually showed me a 'picture' of her which was a gorgeous thin black haired model(had her clothes on mind you)... Then later decided to come clean and admit she was actually a normal looking asian girl who I didnt think looked too bad anyway.

I know that some were girls because they had more than one picture of themselves and were my age because they kept showing me new ones, not that they ever sent me pornographic images of course.

Thing is I didnt even masturbate till i was like 16 and that wasnt to the cyber sex which I had stopped by then....I just sat there with a boner cyber sexing and never did anything!
