The UK is having a moment. In late July, new rules took effect that require all online services available in the UK to assess whether they host content considered harmful to children, and if so, these services must introduce age checks to prevent children from accessing such content. Online...
Anyone who thinks putting barriers up will keep horny kids from finding porn doesn’t remember what it was like to be a horny kid.
Do you know what we had to do to see a single boob in the 80s? And we still did it, even if it wore out the movie on pause or involved sneaking into a creepy forest for a porn stash or watching scrambled channels for hours.
The only thing that taught me more about computers than pirating games was figuring out how to hide my porn.
Lmao trying to hide porn in the late 90’s early 2000’s is what taught me the concept of steganography. There was a windows app you could hide a file vault in an image using steganography, I tried it but eventually the file got corrupted and my stash was ruined, lol.
Dude, same experience but with TrueCrypt hidden volumes - created a decoy partition with boring stuff and the real one hidden inside it, felt like a hacker genuis until I accidentally formated the whole thing.
Damn! I grew up sheltered. Scrambled channels? I don’t think I even knew that was an option. Once a friend of my brother brought a VHS porno and we all watched it but tbh it did not make an impression. I think we were just months away from the appropriate hormones kicking in. OTOH I remember masturbating to a picture of a sweet girl showing cleavage.
BTW if that’s when you grew up you’re not a boomer.
Yep. Watching Cinemax at my friend’s house with the boys:

This is probably a hot take but I think parents should give there kids access to porn. Giving them access to ethical porn that depicts things in a realistic way would go a long way in sex education. Sex related topics are taboo so sometimes self study is the best way.
I also think kids mature a lot faster than parents expect which leads to early porn addictions since they have desires but don’t know what to do with them.
