When did you start watching porn? Do you relate to Cam’s story about enjoying breaking the rules?

Started at 11

I was around 14. This was the early 90s, so we’re talking images slowly downloading across dial-up or reading erotic stories. Not a lot of gay stuff about. Certainly no contacts to get videotapes or magazines.

When I saw the photos there was a rush of it being forbidden and dangerous, which it kinda was back then, to a young townie kid anyway! My whole body would tremble in excitement. Almost delirious. It was the thrill of tapping into a concept that was not spoken about in my world at all. A very risky thrill.

In my day it was magazines. Id do a paper round and id see the magazines on the top shelf. Pure visual fantasy. Then my friend and I bought some videos through the newspaper via mail delivery and that was something else. I remember at university somebody told me about youporn. That was a mass game changer, I was on that every minute, unlimited porn , every thing under the sun. Now it’s on my fire stick and twitter is so accessible it’s ridiculous. I’ve actually stopped using porn for the last 3 weeks and using my imagination again like I was 15. Feels healthier

I was around 13-14. A couple of scenarios I remember, first being finding my older cousins nude magazines and being interested in that. Then later getting the slow dialup buffering pictures loading and worrying about if someone was going to find it or if we would get a virus because of the sites I was going on on the family computer lol

I was around 13 I think, and definitely breaking the rules made it hotter.

I was around 10 or 11 and discovered a discarded paper magazine. As a shy kid living in a household with a lot of fear, I’d discovered masturbation as the magic cure too fearful feelings, but the discovery of the magazine took it to a new level. So started the habit of a lifetime, which I do long to be rid of for good

I can’t remember exactly what age I was, but I guess it was when I was around 12/13 when I got an iPod touch for Christmas one year. I remember I was originally just looking up pictures of naked women or women wearing very little, and this gradually spiraled into more intense material

Mine started from looking at max power magazines with half naked girls and cars then eventually made way to way watching short clips of porn from dial up modem days . Was more of a thrill of not being caught watching naughty stuff

I started in high school basically from overhearing what other kids were doing. It felt wrong but also interesting to do this thing and experience new sensations. It was obviously a thrill to consume

I was exposed to porn at a young age, but I don’t blame myself or anyone for it, it’s just something that happened.

I had a very similar experience of being about the same age. And then part of it was the secrecy of watching it.

We had the Internet when I was about 11. It was dial-up, so there wasn’t a lot of opportunity to watch it. My friends and I found some Playboy magazines and whatnot, but I didn’t start seriously watching it until college. It got worse in grad school when I used it as a distraction from work. Been kind of hooked ever since.

I dabbled in porn in high school, but got serious with it in college. I found myself masturbating when I woke up, and then again before I went to bed, even when I had a sexual partner. My job has me travel, and I’m finding myself falling into those same habits when I’m gone, and it’s following me home and affecting my relationship with my wife.

From about 11 or 12, it was just so exciting and amazing.

I don’t really relate to this at all. I didn’t have high speed Internet until college, so watching porn was not easy. We had to get someone to go to the adult video store, or we’d find a nude mag in the woods for some reason.

I really started watching it in college, and I got a bit hooked in grad school during late night hours and long periods alone with research. It’s when I’m at my computer alone that I start to seek it out.

I didn’t look at hardcore porn until the arrival of the internet really so I was in my late 20s, but as soon as I did discover it, I was very much instantly hooked and as the internet speeds imcreased and could show higher resolution video I was even more consumed by it all.

Thinking back, I was way too young to have my mind polluted with unrealistic sex. I relate to the feeling of doing something wrong.

When we got a computer. Must’ve been middle school

Middle school.
