Imagine being an adult raised without all-you-can-stomach porn and suddenly getting access to the Internet.
SO. MANY. BLISTERS.
" I can't fire my rifle! My hand is cramped up!"
My "pistol" is out of ammo!
This is my rifle. This is my gun. This is for shooting. This is for fun.
I'm shooting blanks!
That's why you never had kids... you were firing blanks!
I'm leaving, hot babes 3 km to the north!
You hear that, boys? Move, move, move!

Those of us who grew up before the internet have experienced that.
We had a couple decades of slow acclimatization: crappy black and white scans, weird CGA scans, glorious 16 colors, all of which had to be painstakingly downloaded at 2400 baud or less, then finally lifelike 256 color images. And then tiny gifs or videos that would take all night. In the semi modern era, there was crappy filesharing where you could type search strings in and hope for the best (and enough seeds).
But these poor bastards are going from zero straight to pornhub.
"Glorious leader was right, the west is depraved! Still not putting phone down though."
Wait until they find the Japanese sites.
Eh, y'all got that pornography sent to you 3 pixels at a time, that hardly counts as 'all you can stomach porn'. Waiting between each line of your image is barely equivalent to today's hard hitting porn problems such as videos buffering (though it's an amusing comparison now that I think about it).
A better comparison would be long term coma patients or people who've been in prison since the 90s.
Believe it or not, many of us grew up before you could even download porn slowly. The internet literally didn't exist. Then it existed but was slow and empty. Then it grew, and here we are now.
We found porn stashed in hedges and sheds, hidden in the woods, on playing cards, in the bottom of wardrobes. It was something you found rather than something you sought out.
It's true. Everyone who grew up in the early 90s or before has at least one story about finding porn in the woods, including myself.
So that's where you wanked?
No you either took it home with you and brought it back later or you saved it in your memory for future use.
So many hours spent wargaming how to buy porn from cornerstores.
My first experience with internet porn was after trying to download Fight Club from a peer-to-peer filesharing app and ending up with something unexpected that was merely named 'Fight Club'.
That was well into the internet's growth period. My first experience with it was a file saved on a 5.25" floppy disc. Then a friend showed me how he got it, and it was like that other person said. The picture loaded one line at a time and took like 5 minutes to download. We were amazed! It was amazing technology for the time.
And here you are, also not invading Ukraine.
I remember when the internet first started, we were being told about it in school by some expert or something, I don't know who they were. They were telling us that soon there may be 1,000 websites.
I guess they were right.
LOL, that's like the understatement of the century.
Me and my friends at 14.
I think I saw a nipple!
It's a lot different growing up as the internet did vs discovering it in 1 day
That's true.
Had 15 year old pre-internet me been suddenly handed even the internet of say 1996 with its far smaller quantity of available porn, but with no gradual transition between my near-pornless world and that, I may very well have found a way to masturbate myself to death before I ever made it out of puberty.
I don't know how kids today manage it tbh
