| Hello people over 30! I saw a post about "too much porn." I wonder back to my youth--my only access to porn was at the barber shop when I got my hair cut, and that was specifically playboy only--no cock. I didn't have HBO, computers, or the ability to purchase porn in my teens. I had no brothers or friends who had magazines either.
So I wonder how I would have turned out had I grown up with the internet porn. On a positive note, I think the internet would have opened my eyes and I could have had free, open discussions about sex and sexuality--and been a lot more comfortable about my own sexuality early on. But I am also wondering what a negative effect it could have had. What are your thoughts? |
But I still like porn.
If people have sex to feel good together then you don't need a perfect body or huge cock or perfect pussy it big tits.
maybe l watch too much hardcore, but l do think that getting laid now, is less likely than it was 'back in the day'. l think womens standards are so high, they cant find anyone that's 'perfect' or the imaginary 'knight in shining armor' bloke that doesn't exsist. Women can stay single and live torment free lives, and not even know they probably have the better end of stick, while men expect women to 'perform' like porn stars, thinking this is how most women behave, when it cant be further from the truth. lve always felt l was a pretty liberal and out there kind of women it came to sex, but l still get blown away from the kind of porn l can find on the net. makes me feel like lm mother Teresa compared to the some of the pics and vids l viewed online.. men might think theyre learning about their sexuality, when its really installing unreal expectations on their partners. finding love in this day and age is harder than finding a 'fuck', and l think its toss up what people really want in life. lust or love or both if youre lucky ... *Lix*
The first magazine that did the rounds was Health and Efficiency which was a naturist publication. I believe it is still about in a different format:
only registered users can see external links
It does have explicit personals but not the photos that I remember.
It was not until the 1970s that the really graphic sex magazines came to my view.
The Internet then was a revelation and I, like you, wonder how I might be different if I had access to the sort of material that teenagers have now.
That was also around the same time we got the internet at my house. I saved up and bought a used original iMac (still got it) so I could use the internet in my room. In the middle of the night I'd look for porn on there, but the selection was very limited. I remember the first one I liked that I saved and watched many times was a girl slapping her huge tits with a big cock and then stroking it until the cumshot, which she aimed at her tits. It was by far the hottest thing I'd seen at that point, and I can't imagine how many times I got off to it...
At the weekend, me and a few mates would mucknow about on some waste ground near some industrial units. Occasionally we'd find a copy of the daily sport that always had loads of tits in it, and once we found a copy of Mayfair
But then when I was 14 I found my brothers stash. I remember my favourite was 1 particular photo shoot called "the high priest of whoredom" and was 5 guys and 2 women. I wanked myself crazy over those pictures.
........Oh how things have changed !
One rather sinister thought, Some of the images included in 'Health and Efficiency' in the 60s and 70s included **** and teenage girls. The sort of material that would probably put you in a police cell these days.
As others have said, there essentially was NO photo porn up untill I was already and adult in the late 60's and even then it was not only difficult and expensive to find, but fairly tame by modern standards. It was against the law to show the erect penis in the UK until quite recent times so photos of 'sex' was not very realistic or detailed.
I have to say that since the flood gates opened and the most explicit American porn has swamped all young people there HAS been an enormous effect on sexual attitudes and apparent knowledge. I say 'apparent' because the problem is that many people assume that what they see in porn is either 'real sex',...which it most certainly is not,...or, that it represents a normal rang of sexual activities.
Until recently I was (for 10 years)an adult instructor with what I shall call a 'youth group'. Ages of the youngsters ranged from 10 to 20 with some older hangers-on and some younger siblings around. I learned to greatly admire current young people saw them in a very different light to that portrayed in the media. However, I also saw the huge pressures on them and how society has diminished and fragmented since my own youth. I discovered that ALL kids regardless of their family background/affluence, know about drugs and where to find/avoid them,....and, they ALL know all the basics of 'porn sex' as a kind of 'standard experience'.....
Kids now KNOW that women are always shaved,...they always suck the mans penis,..without any form of foreplay,....then switch for the man to perform a quick and rough cunilingus,....then intercourse in a full and quick variety of very visual positions,.....and ALL sex must end with anal penetration before withdrawl and voluminous ejaculation over womans face.....
....All kids KNOW that there is no tenderness or lovemaking involved in 'real' sex.....
A few things jumped out at me: "...NO photo porn..." "...difficult [to find] and expensive...fairly tame by modern standards". I remember an amusing quote from the sixties as porn was beginning to become mainstream. It said porn was becoming more accessible but there are three things that never will be shown: erection, penetration and ejaculation. Seems quaint now-a-days, doesn't it?
However, Im glad I didnt have the porn access like I have now during my puberty. I can imagine guys now really get a deformed image of sex, a woman's body and the experience of having sex themselves.
not sure if thats young or older than most ?
Other than that I was reduced to ogling bare-chested guys on Top of the Pops
