Believe it or not, many of us grew up before you could even download porn slowly. The internet literally didn't exist. Then it existed but was slow and empty. Then it grew, and here we are now.
We found porn stashed in hedges and sheds, hidden in the woods, on playing cards, in the bottom of wardrobes. It was something you found rather than something you sought out.
It's true. Everyone who grew up in the early 90s or before has at least one story about finding porn in the woods, including myself.
So that's where you wanked?
No you either took it home with you and brought it back later or you saved it in your memory for future use.
So many hours spent wargaming how to buy porn from cornerstores.
My first experience with internet porn was after trying to download Fight Club from a peer-to-peer filesharing app and ending up with something unexpected that was merely named 'Fight Club'.
That was well into the internet's growth period. My first experience with it was a file saved on a 5.25" floppy disc. Then a friend showed me how he got it, and it was like that other person said. The picture loaded one line at a time and took like 5 minutes to download. We were amazed! It was amazing technology for the time.
I remember when the internet first started, we were being told about it in school by some expert or something, I don't know who they were. They were telling us that soon there may be 1,000 websites.
I guess they were right.
LOL, that's like the understatement of the century.
And here you are, also not invading Ukraine.
