Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?

Well one thing is for sure, it impacted them in that they were less likely to get in trouble with the filth.

As a millennial my friends and I all had large collections of porn magazines and VHS tapes by the time we were 13 / 14 but they all had to be gained through theft or finding shit in the woods.

I haven’t seen a porn mag in the woods for like 20 years or more where as it used to be a regular occurrence in my youth!

I guess that’s what Gibson meant about the future not being evenly distributed. As also a millennial (and an older one, at that) I got all my porn from the Internet when I was that age, albeit having to wait for individual images to load at 56kbps at first.

You can imagine how excited I was for my household to get DSL, LOL!

  And before the Internet, we were jacking it to the Sears catalog.

    There was a time when people were beating it to this:

    We’ve always had and used porn.

  Oh yeh, we used the internet too at that age but like you say on a 56k dial up connection you’d literally be waiting for an image to load, line after line, so magazines were preferable. ADSL ushered in the age of more easily accessed videos for us, we are probably a similar age xD

How did all that porn get in the woods? Was there some kind of Horny Appleseed sprinkling porn mags across the country?

  Kid steals magazine from dad/convenience store, shares the wealth with the homies, ditches the evidence.
  
  Though I do still enjoy the legend of Horny Appleseed, doing god’s (?) work.

  Married men. Lots of women think men looking at pornography is a form of unfaithfulness.
