Those of us who grew up before the internet have experienced that.

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.

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.
