      I didn’t even get the internet until I was 20 and then it was crappy dial-up that used to take 45 minutes to download a single picture.

      Na, porn was in magazines and on VHS. I don’t think I really got to see any of that until I was 15, but that was because it was easier to limit access back then.

      Opinion: I think curiosity about sex/pleasure starts a lot younger age than I feel most people are comfortable acknowledging/talking about openly.

        More directly, 18 is not the moment you take the shrink-wrap off your genitals. It’s when you get thrown to the wolves. It’s the point where you’re assumed to already know enough that all your future decisions are your own fault.

        Drives me up the wall when fandoms are like ‘You can’t show that seventeen-year-old having impure thoughts about a close friend! It’s still six months until they can get facefucked on camera for money.’ If y’all can’t handle that for fictional characters, the unrefined horniness of actual pubescent humans is going to obliterate your psyche.

      I do remember looking up porn at that age, but it was just to laugh at it. I found it disgusting at the time, and hilarious. I was pretty much sex-repulsed until my early 20’s.

      But sex-ed is sexualizing children!

      I have seen other people on the Internet describe similar experiences.

      Of course that is part of why there are young looking pornstars.

        i once saw an nsfw subreddit specifically for porn of people (mostly girls) who look very young (literally looked like children)

        i don’t know if their goal was appealing to children or people who are attracted to children but it was incredibly weird, so i got out of there and never looked in there again

          Oh, right. The Jailbait. The subreddit run by Reddit’s CEO, the subreddit chosen especially to sexualize women that look like girls, Jailbait subreddit. That subreddit?

            To be fair, and not to defend u/spez, but back in the day, if you were top mod of a sub, you could just add anyone else as a mod. So, we’ll never know the full story, but there is that

        Of course that is part of why there are young looking pornstars.

        I’m a bit sceptical whether or not this is the main reason why the extremely-underage-looking actors are accepted into the porn industry.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a big reason.

          That said, the whole porn trope of a clearly-not-teenager dressing up as a “teenager” with pigtails and everything is just…weird. It’s not a turn on for me in the slightest. Even when I was a teenager and came across that, my first thought was “that’s not how girls my age operate”.

              I have no idea how large a part, but there are plenty of porn videos where the male actor plays a teenager having sex with his … pick any: classmate, stepsister, teacher, stepmom. You don’t think these are produced in part so that underage boys can identify with it?

                  I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if the intention was clearly that from the start, but kept as an open secret.
