I did. Anything to help.

Blimey! Imagine if it was the other way round? The average woman would need to be wined, dined, complimented, put in the mood and after a few hours might be willing and able to produce the goods - wouldn't this clinician have been more disturbed if men didn't need any kind of stimulation but could just spray their seed at will??

First time I got to see some porn, I must have only been about 8 or 9, and not understanding why the magazine was having the effect it was.

My dad had just come back from a tour of Northen Ireland, and being a good lad, was up in mum and dads bedroom whilst he was unpacking, and I spotted the mag in his kit bag.

Dad could see I was curious, and said "have a little flick through", and so I did.

I don't remember anything other than one pictorial, and bearing in mind this is back in the late 70's very early 80's, it would be laughable now, but it was my first 'lesbian' set.

I put 'lesbian' in quote marks, because those two women literally couldn't have been any further away from each other if they were in different countries!

Both licking their lips (their own, not each others!), one getting undressed on a couch, the other getting undressed on the other side of the room, obviously incredibly bussy twixt their nethers, throwing kisses at each other, but with both sets of legs firmly glued together, yes, you got bush (and lots of it!) and boobs, and a bit of bum, but no hint of much else.

Even as an 8 year old i'm thinking "I quite like this for not quite known reasons."

But before the internet, was Bulletin Board Systems, plenty of stuff to be had, downloading at 9600baud, invariably JPEG files, which wasn't native to the Amiga, so had to be converted to be displayed on that machine, nowhere near as good as a mag, but back then you pretended it was.

Dad had a collection of magazines and videos that i occasionally looked at but many (sometimes good) magazines were either found in hedges or chucked in a bin. Videos were passed around between friends at school/college,remember one called Rolls Royce that we all watched in the mid 80s and the dialogue always caused much amusement - it is here: http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...65&postcount=5. Moved on to buying mags (escort, razzle) and better videos came along in the 90s, including one great 3 hour long compilation of US amateur porn that mesmerized me!

In the nineties I used to go to the local flea market where one of the comic book dealers sold porn mags he kept in boxes under one of his tables. I was perhaps his most loyal porn customer. I was always a little embarrassed when he'd say, "Hey, I got a whole bunch of new Hustlers this week. More than enough to make ya happy!" I figured he was as big a porno fan as I was, so it was all good. Besides, I was a reliable $20 or $30 a week customer! It took a few years for Internet porn to be better than print porn. There was good stuff out there, but it was all on pay sites, and there were viruses everywhere. If VEF was around back then, I didn't know about it. I could find free stuff, but it was often low quantity and low quality. Every time I joined paysite I felt ripped off. Today, on the other hand (no pun intended), it's like I died and went to porn heaven! And there's always my favorite site, VEF!

My main porn interest is spanking and before the internet this was not easy to find. The earliest I recall were the Nu West (and Leda) films, pictures and booklets by the late Ed Lee. The girl being spanked I liked the best was Debbie. She got it with the hairbrush and the paddle. The films were grainy but the pics were very nice. Here she is rubbing her bottom after the hairbrush.

I was into magazines and later VHS cassettes myself. I had a friend from school who had a large, organized collection that he managed to keep hidden from his parents somehow.

A few years later, he moved to California., and found the ultimate pre-Internet thrill. After he turned 21, he got connected somehow with a group in Glendale that hosted live sex shows, and he got to see such stars as Christy Canyon, Nina Hartley, Tom Byron, and Peter North perform right there in front of everybody.

In my early schoolboy days, I found my Dads collection of Playboys in a dresser drawer. I can honestly say that I spend a good bit of time through the rest of my youth sneaking those mags out of his drawer for my pleasure. It really stepped up when I found another hiding place where he kept a few Hustlers. They were quite a bit more graphic and titillating than the Playboys. They became my primary masturbation motivation until I was old enough to buy my own. Then I spent a lot of time figuring out where I could buy more mags without seeing someone I knew at the store.
My parents got cable TV around 1985 ( I was 15). I spent quite a bit of time on the living room couch at 1am with a blanket covering me while I waiting for fleeting glimpses of T and A on Cinemax. I NEVER wanted to be caught wanking but I think there was a little bit of a thrill that I was doing something that had to be hidden.
I married when I was 19 and of course I took my collection with me. I kept it hidden from my wife for the most part. I added a few VHS tapes to my collection but not many because they were kind of expensive to me. I rented a few from the local video store. The problem with video is that obviously you needed a TV to view them and that meant privacy. It is hard to come by with small children and a wife who is a stay at home mom. So, I pretty much used magazines for masturbation material.
I got my first computer in 1997 on of course with that came online porn.

I think that modern teenagers do not know how very lucky they are to have all that internet porn to hand (so to speak!). When I think of what I had to wank to - Film Review, underwear catalogues, newspaper articles and the occasional item I found and hid away - I really feel jealous! But I still remember the illustrations I "enjoyed", the newspaper reports of spankings, and the photos I found when out walking one day. Then a friend introduced me to his father's Penthouse stash with those lovely bare bums and Pain and Pleasure letters. Heaven.

For those of us based in the UK whose sap started rising in the 60s, one of the things not mentioned in this thread yet is the written word. Given that these was so little visual porn around, it helped if you could find something mucky to read, so that it would build up an erotic mental picture.

Lady Chatterly's Lover, of course, was the book which established that something sexually explicit wasn't, per se, obscene but, despite the rude words in it, it wasn't actually terribly erotic.

But I have fond memories of the following:

A Cold Wind In August (Burton Wohl) - a mature woman seduces a young neighbour boy. This was actually a pretty good book. I don't remember it being particularly explicit, but it was definitely an erotic favourite.

Passion Flower Hotel (Rosalind Erskine) - girls at a boarding school set up an amateur brothel to service the boys at a neighbouring school. Very much a favourite!

Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush (Hunter Davies) - the sexual misadventures of a teenager. I think it may have been written about me!

The Russ Tobin series (Stanley Morgan) - adventures of an easygoing, likeable, globetrotting womaniser. Easy reading, frequent sex scenes.

The Rod Damon (Coxeman) series (Troy Conway) - adventures of an ever-erect secret agent. Quite good fun stories, very good erotic scenes.

National Geographic!

In the UK until "The Sun" started its infamous Page 3 girls, at my all boys school, it appeared that only African native women had breasts.

That all changed when I went to College in 1972. First of all, a friend had a massive collection of Color Climax magazines, but most importantly, the sexually liberated "sixties" ran from, say 1967 until 1972, so I needed porn less when I had the real thing to explore!
