I was around 5. For me it was the excitement of seeing beautiful women naked.
I was like 12 or so at a friends birthday party and one of them had a video downloaded. We each got time with his phone alone because it was “cool” to watch it. So I guess peer pressure led me down this path
For all the talk about boys watching too much porn these days, this is not a new phenomenon and I think people are naive to what boys have been able to view.
First time I saw porn I was about 8 or 9, 25-30 years ago. Saw a magazine in a newsagents back in the day before they were concealed and placed on highest shelf. I was tall for my age so was able to grab the mag. I was probably more curious in terms of how I felt when I looked at the pics. I was 14 when I saw first hardcore video. Got a bit of a shock when I saw the pic.
I think I was around 16 or 17. For me it was seeing women naked.
Yeah, but I also felt so ashamed since it was gay porn and I felt it was even more wrong because of that. I was probably 11.
I started searching for images/scenes from mainstream films at 15 or so, but actual porn quite late - 19, 20 or so.
I think I was about 12 on my iPod I watched some scenario porn like doctors, gym trainers ext I feel like I have gotten bad impressions of sexual thoughts everywhere and thinking of most things in a sexual way. I think my mind wanders for no reason sometimes and makes stories.

12 I think
I remember discovering magazines and videos that my brothers had hidden when I was maybe 9 or 10. I found thinking about the images I’d seen a lot, and when I was a little older and we got a computer, I would use it to find videos and images online.
I watched it in my late teens 16/17
And was hooked for about 9 years and about 5 years in realised there was a bad side to seeing so many violent acts potentially if you searched for it and could see how that is bad. A lot of my friends joked about how men would dominate the women and that became the norm for us to joke and normalise rough porn as a lad thing to do.
Moving away from that as you get older I used porn less and less because of the negative connotation I had in my head about it, or if I do it’ll be just a girl by herself. Maybe those thoughts on sex did affect my young brain quite early on.
I have a beautiful wife now and we make love but sometimes it is hard to get into the mood.
I must have started around 12 or 13. It felt exhilarating and euphoric and dangerous in the best way. Like accessing a part of my brain I didn’t know existed.
At first my friends showed me porn from his computer and i was 15 years old. I didn’t like it then, I didn’t even get a boner, i felt guilty for doing that.
I can take a step back further and reading adult themed columns (Savage love, anybody?) and looking at photos of half naked guys and girls in the classified ads. I remember thinking the girls were hot, but there was something so taboo about liking the boys and knowing they were existing. All of this helped me feel more mature and naughty and led to a hijacking ofy brain
I was 10 or 11 and loved how I wasn’t supposed to be watching it
First watched when I was 11 or 12, quite a hardcore scene so I was terrified by it, went back to watching porn when I was 13/14 when I started masturbating. The rule-breaking aspect definitely hooked me in, the element of wrongness has also carried into my porn preferences
I started with playboy and other erotic magazines at 12-13. Erotic stories at 14-18. Porngraphic pictures 15-20. Actual porn videos at around 19.
I started looking at porn magazines in early high school. Movies in late high school. Internet in my mid twenties.

i think i might have been 12 or 13 when i first started watching. for me, the opposite was true re: being excited because i wasn’t supposed to watch it. that had the opposite effect, it actually gave me tremendous anxiety/fear over being caught and i didn’t find that exciting. but i do relate to what i think Cam was saying at the end. for me, the most erotic part was the atmosphere/sensuality/build up, or like he said, the “why” of what they were doing.
Yeah I can relate I watched it when I was 10 after someone at school told me to look it up. It’s not my fault I had access too it but covid is really when it got bad. Being exposed at such a young age makes me sad
I can relate a lot, I started around the same age. I don’t quite remember what I felt but it must have been thrilling, especially because it was not appropriate.
