It was buried in an ancient temple behind a blade trap and guarded by an animated statue with four arms somewhere in Asia Minor. Half the expedition perished, but we finally won the prize and brought it to the world.
Well, someone introduced me to anime in 5th grade. Somehow, I ended up watching Monster Musume as my first anime, which directly led me to porn quite frequently on the internet.
Neighbors house as a young boy maybe 8 he was my friends older brother (13) when he got caught he blamed it on me and my twin (mom beat our ass) kinda a dirt bag move on his part 🫤 if I ever see him again it’s on site
When I was 15 , I found a cd drive in my brother’s drawer .
I felt like it was something adventurous or a music video , later when I played it I realised that it was a b grade erotic film…
this shit is weird but when my mom was in the hospital me and a friend went to the computer room. he showed me a funny video of balloon dogs doing it. when i came home i thought i would look for it and there it was, internet boobies for 9 year old me
Kubscoutz doing a yandere simulator myths video and one of the myths was that there was a book on “how to hentai with senpai” and he told his viewers not to search what hentai was, but of course me being a child led to me now having a porn addiction
Young me found an underwater picture of an enormous lion’s mane jellyfish with a diver beside it for scale. It had a watermark with a web address on the bottom of it and I thought “Wow, there’s bound to be loads of other cool photographs there”.
School lunchtime at a friend’s house he got out a video from his brothers room and said take a look at this! It was Wild Weekend starring Ginger Lynn. We all sat there with cushions on our lap to hide our interest.
Went on a zonal level sports competition, had to stay there for 3 days. These seniors were talking and laughing about it. I was genuinely curious of it, came home took my phone and searched for it and BOOOM
I was in my 3rd class and me and my neighbour brother were alone and we were playing coc after few minutes he said “let’s see what’ll Happen if we type “xnxx” in chrome and i started to watch frequently with him and till now I’m addicted to it btw i regret for what I have done.
Saw a video during quarantine where a kid asked ugly god what beating your meat means and it sparked my curiosity so i looked it up on urban dictionary and tried it out and subsequently found out porn in the process
My stepdad used to hide magazines in the boiler cupboard and my brother and I used to play hide and seek. One day I hid in there and found it…let’s just say that was my new favourite hiding place
13 i thought my friends were talking about favourite celebrities my innocent 13 self searched them on the Internet since I didn’t know who they are realised they were celebrities that performed without clothes on.
Think I was 11 pr 12. Kid I hung out at the time was a bit of strange character to say the least, he was 14/15 at the time.
Parents agreed to have him stay the night. You know – stay up majority of the night and play video games, nothing out of the ordinary.
The family computer was downstairs beside my bedroom. If memory serves, we were going to sites with the names of classmates ( kyle.com , andrew.com, etc). We found out that one of my classmates names was a pornsite.
One of my friends in middle school found out where his dad‘s key to the cable box was. This was a huge step up from trying to stare at boobs through the TV static.
Hilarious to think about but me and two friends were walking along a creek and found an ad from the back of a magazine. It had all these little boxes advertising porn videos with different horrible titles and a frame of nudity.
Someone broke onto my computer while I took a toilet break, and searched up: “Nude hot women”.
Antagonist tried to get me in trouble with my school. And when she saw I wasn’t sitting at my computer, antagonist according to a witness just walked over and searched something on my computer. As I walked in I saw antagonist walk past me, and in the other end of the classroom(there was too doors into it, as it was a sort of double room) I noticed witness standing, we then both walked over to my computer as I was going there and witness had seen the antagonist herself stand over my computer. The first thing we saw were naked women. I confused, witness figuring out what antagonist had done, we told the teacher, getting antagonist in trouble.
Within the next few days I was curious, as I had felt something when I saw the pictures, from antagonist’s mischievous behavior. So after going to bed, I pulled out my phone and searched the very same thing, antagonist had searched on my computer. And that’s how it started.
dad was hiding something away from me when i was kid. I searched and found some good dvds with interesting cover page 😉 (ykwim) and that’s how i got introduced into the porn world.
School, compsci basics lab in fourth grade (11~12yr old kids). The budding bad boy group of the class was fooling around with online flash games, then one had the idea to show something cool and it was some strip poker flash game, naturally with pornographic ads here and there. At some point one of them got clicked and a porn site opened.
Next thing I know all workstations lose power and the teacher announces an impropritu written test on last week’s material.
I remember, that I did not find it as interesting at the time as most others. Some girls were taking furtive glances, others were visibly creeped out, most of the boys were crowding that workstation.. I took a look before it got crowded and went back to scrolling through the online Lego catalogue (until the blackout and the test). I did not even think about girls nor porn until a few years later.
First watched couple videos on YouTube at the age of 10 or 11 (not sure), then later on watched 1 video at chrome and closed it right away, (I was scared of getting caught), then my friends influenced me and watched it again and again.
When I was a kid, for some weird reason it had became popular to “prank” other kids with it, so at one time my friends randomly send me redtube url (homepage of it) being like “lol check this out”. That “prank” was commonplace over maybe 1-2 years, fairly lengthy time. I think I got sent that url when I was 9 or so, most of my friends were around the same age.
I remember discovering it on someone’s phone. I was a kid who was looking in someone’s phone to play games on, during a family function . Well… I was introduced to a whole new world.
That was grade in 5 i think and my friends are talking about it and i got curious after i got home i search the website using my grandma’s phone that’s when my addiction started. If i could just turn back time:-(
Always knew it existed, before it was interesting. The 1990ies “Blockbuster” equivalent in Germany, there was an additional section with an “ab 18′ sign but you could peek in because no door. So it was impossible to not see when you went there with your family for renting the saturday night movie.
Went with my dad to an internet cafe to apply for his job, we didn’t have internet access at home back then. One of the cabins was left half open, I kinda was roaming around because I was bored and I saw this guy watching a video of a couple banging and the website said perfectgirls.com, until then I was not aware of its existence. I was probably 13 years old. Manipulated my parents to get internet and a laptop. So there you go!
Fell asleep on the couch one day when I was like 8 or 9. I guess my parents had watched a movie or something before going to bed and they left the tv on. Woke up around midnight to naked women and my dick hard as a rock and me not knowing why.
Turns out the channel they watched a movie on happened to be Cinemax (skinamax) and around midnight is when that channel turned into softcore porn lol.
Warcraft 3 custom games. I played every new game I seen and there was one I haven’t heard of before called “hentai defense”. You would fight monsters and images would pop up occasionally for making it so far
I was about 6years old and went looking for a lost toy under a couch. I found a magazine and wondered if more could be hidden some where. I checked beneath beds,I checked in drawers,I checked in bathroom cupboards. Now you may not guess it but apparently I was a great finder of hidden magazines. When I was done I had a stack about 3/4 of my height. I was so proud of my treasure finding ability I showed off what I had found to my friends. When we decided to go play at the playground I left them beside the backdoor all stacked up.
Yr 6.. age 12 and I was in the cool group at school. The boys brought a dirty mag to school that they found in their dads secret stash and we all looked in it. It was quite a shock 😂
My older cousin showed me Hentai when I was 7 years old, he told me it was porn, and after that I knew the word “porn” and watched it on my parents computer when they weren’t around
I remember young me looking for cheat code websited and cheatcity or something along those lines wasnt what i thought it was lmao.. this would of been 2003 or 2004
A househelper back when I was 9 yrs old had an MP4 with a porn video. The lax shit she was, she let me watch even when her older fellow househelper had scolded her.
I had a Palm Pre which is the first time I had access to the Internet that wasn’t the family or school desktop computer. I proceeded to google image search “hot guys” lmao.
Then I discovered tumblr and it was a whole new world
The very first time i touched a computer. My mom and I was staying at her friend’s house, I was obsessed with the numa numa yey guy or whatever it was called, annoyed my mom so much she sat me down at his computer typed http://www.youenter and it auto filled youporn.com but I was to scared to go back and actually LOOK because again it was my first time using a computer and i didn’t know how to make it go away fast enough but like a month later on the walk to school I found what I thought was a religious pamphlet cuz this is Texas and it was in a bush but instead it was a plam sized black and white cartoon of maybe porn maybe just jokey sex cartoon stuff– they weren’t really drawn sexy just like just like comically long dicks and sex scenes. I grosses me out to think back on that because I would read and re read that thing over and over again on my long walk to the bus stop but it was all crumpled and brown and very gross, I assumed it was cuz it’s been tumbling around the dirt road since I had absolutely no concept of what someone might do while reading that sort of material

I first saw porn when I was around 12. My childhood friend showed it to me when we were using the internet without any supervision.
When I was a kid, for some weird reason it had became popular to “prank” other kids with it, so at one time my friends randomly send me redtube url (homepage of it) being like “lol check this out”.

6th or 7th grade, reading Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and I started asking some questions about certain random bits of the book.
