It may sound crazy, but in the old days a guy had to be 18 years old to get his hands on prurient materials — either that or have an easily bribable older brother. Or a friend with such a brother. Or a dad with an obvious stash. Not that I know anything about such matters.
Up until the early 90’s, the only place to obtain pornographic material, whether it was print or video, was at a local adult store. Of course this required you to be at least 18 years old.
Then came along the internet and its vast collection of pictorials and videos created with every taste and niche you could imagine. While most adult sites open up to a disclaimer and state that all visitors must be 18, I’m not so sure that this qualifies as an obstacle for curious young minds.
Parents may not like it and politicians might complain about it but the truth of the matter is that teenagers have free access to all the porn they want and the days of needing to be of age to watch porn are long gone.
