Poll: Your first run-in with pornography

[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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

About 13 or 14 I guess. It was very soft core, I was just looking for boobies on the interenet. I remember because my interenet protection must have been apsolutely terrible as my computer pretty much broke down from pop ups and viruses.

That feel when your mum has to fix your computer while being subjected to dick extention ads know it's because you were looking up tits...it's not a great one.

Meant to tape some Iron Man cartoon that came really late. (No I don't know why it was cast after midnight.) Got the channel wrong and ended up with Playboy presents. 10 year old me was very disappointed.

I think I was 7 when I first found porn. I also think that I was aware, even then, of what it was. It was in a small grove near an apartment complex. Someone had decided to hang pictures from a playboy magazine in all the branches. I went there a couple of times. I didn't do anything (Didn't know what to do), but I was fascinated by them.

If not that time, then it must've been when I was in Gran Canaria. I might've been even younger then, maybe 6, I don't remember. Anyway, we were at the hotel, preparing to leave for the beach. I had already packed, so while waiting, I turned on the TV. First thing to pop up was a woman in only her boots on a couch, turning seductively. This must've been when I was 6, come to think of it, because I had no idea what so ever what porn was back then.
