Porn

Anyone with an online computer would have stumbled across some form of porn. I say stumbled, most people actively look for it because it is an obvious turn-on.
Back in the day, porn had to be bought from newsagents or sex shops. Seedy shops that sold videos in Soho were no-go areas due to the crime rate around them. Most of us had to go to the top shelf of the newsagents for magazines and embarrassingly pay the shop owner without making eye contact. It was a very stressful experience.

In the last 5 or 6 years the broadband revolution has exploded and pictures and videos of people having sexual relations has been readily available on the internet.
I have seen things in the last 5 years that I never saw outside my own bedroom and plenty that I had not seen there either. The internet has also opened the world up to all sorts of other images too. Death, suicide, beastiality, murder. It really is frightening what our youth can get access to. Censorship seems a good idea when I think what my son may be able to watch from his PC.

Sex and porn are the least of my worries but it does make me think what effect some of the pornographic images would have had on me as a teenager. Would it have damaged me to see these things? Would I have become desensetized to nakedness? I remember being excited by the sight of a braless T-Shirt or female tennis players panties flashing when they served.
It was an innocent excitement. Nowadays the excitement will be driven by images af erections, penetration and orgasms.
*sigh* How things change. What will be acceptable or available when our grandchildren are growing up?
