When did you first see porn?

In paper form and they had bushes

in the bushes

ripped out bits of a H&E magazine someone brought to school… 5th class im guessing …a bizarre publication..😅

We're flooded with it now.

Proper old school

There was always a random porno mag to be found in a bush or behind a wall back in the day

Late enough, when I was 14 I called around to a friends house one day as word went around that he found his father's stash of porno tapes. A gang of us sat down to watch one and it was exciting at first but pretty soon it got really awkward as we were all sitting there with boners but pretending we were cool and relaxed. My abiding feeling which lasted a few years was that there was something wrong with me, sure my lad was only about 6inches but the male pornstars had lads that were nearly twice as big as mine.

A really grainy VHS tape of a hospital themed porno back in 1992. It showed a nurse giving a bj to a doctor and two lesbian nurses going at it. It was belonged to the older brother of my friend who used to rent out really bad quality pirate VHS tapes to the neighbors for 50p a night.

Did the doctors ever figure out why you didn't develop any further?

Sorry if you think I am drowning out your insightful intellectual After Hours posts. On the greatest intellectual platform of the modern ages at that too - boards.ie.

You are, without doubt, the greatest philosophical thinker of our time and I must apologize if my substandard posts are interfering with you bringing your enlightened message to the masses

Funny that simple porn movies were banned in the 80s.

And now parents think it's cool their kids can watch the most depraved stuff 24x7x365 on demand. Upload and stream live stuff. In 4K HD. On their phones ...

And put all the other kids under the same pressure, temptation.

Sure it'll have no effect ...

It'll be grand.

What a **** failure of a society we are.

🤣🤣🤣

I said what I said, 'cause there will be someone on to say it has no effect and some study was done somewhere to prove it.

Or that it did no harm to them ... in the 80s, 90s, ..

Yada yada yada

That must be in the Irish Press archives!

In my day (early 90s) illicit pornography was always found in skips.

Thinking about it, it was obviously men looking to get rid of a bit of a stash from the continent or wives who had found it, but it always seemed to end up fired into skips on building sites. Which of course were always being played in and rummaged through by resourceful young fellows.

I distinctly remember being in 1st year of secondary school and a couple of pages of a glossy hardcore doing the rounds in class and seeing the full glory of a hirsute olive skinned lady, I think from Italy if my memory of the accompanying text is correct. For a few years this was the sort of pickings we had to be happy with.

In about 1995,I began securing copies of 3.5 inch floppy disks (no pun intended) loaded with pics and gifs of a jazzy variety. Yes kids, we had to hand each other our computer porn and make copies that we had to stash very carefully.

Then in 1996, Playboy was legalised in Ireland (the Jenny McCarthy Christmas special was a memorable moment for your truly) and in 1998 or so, fellas began getting primitive modems in their homes and we salivated over short clips that took an absolute age to download over 9600 baud and IBM 386 processors.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Has anyone ever come up with a viable theory as to why so much porn used to be found in bushes/hedges back in the day? I mean I can imagine some of it was lads hiding it from the missus but then how do you "use it" and what about the rest? You hardly stand by a bush pulling the innocence out of yourself and then stroll in for dinner.
