From friends, an older brother, your Dad's collection? Did you ever buy a porn VHS tape - which were expensive back in the day. I know.
How did you get your porn?

The woods.
Seriously, who didn't have "Woods Porn"? I suspect a bunch of you already know what I'm talking about. You go out into the woods, be it in the middle of the country or just in a city park, and somehow there would inevitably be a porn mag or two laying around. There was even a tree at my middle school that had a huge knothole in it where kids would stash stuff and then usually lose it, because it would fall too far down to retrieve. We'd pull out 20-year-old copies of Playboy, ancient bags of weed, rusty switchblades, you name it. Lots of issues of Easyrider magazine, too, for some reason.
And back in the early days of C-Band satellite, there was the infamous American eXXXtasy channel, which ran unscrambled for several years in the mid '80s. It didn't come on until maybe 10 or 11PM and ran until like 5AM or something, but there it was for all to see. I think around 1987 it finally scrambled (and then disappeared altogether shortly after) so honestly it wasn't of much interest to me at the time, but my dad had several tapes recorded from it by the time it did interest me more, so there were those around. He also had a bag of 8mm "Swedish Erotica"-branded pornos, but by the time you got the projector set up, you barely cared anymore.

Yep - woods porn was awesome. But after going through my Dad's porno collection, I started buying my own VHS porn - not random stuff, I researched that shit. Hey, I had money to burn.

I was always so amazed - how did my Dad get so many Beta porn tapes. Even now I think - where did he buy them and for how much - when mainstream movies were hard to come by and expensive. Not to mention Beta dying.

Sewer porn was big growing up. In the housing complex I lived in there were a couple of storm drains you could pry open, they were so full of garbage you could grab anything at an arms length reach. Found some prego porn VHS tapes in there as a kid, among other weird shit. There was never porn in my house, I guess because I grew up in the internet age. My uncle was (and is, I believe) a porn addict, so on weekends when I would stay at his house with my cousin, I would usually steal some of his porn  . He had an entire spare room that was full from floor to ceiling with porn mags and dvds... saw some weird shit in there too. |

Fuck you hillbillies, we didn't have woods here, shit, we still don't. Where I grew up was on the corner of a major street, in the ghetto and the next corner over was one of those hotel apartments all the whores lived in and along up the road within 1/10 of a mile there were 4 strip clubs (all gone, last one shut down a couple years ago.) My earliest exposure was all the flyers and shit that would be littering the area. My older brother used to get busted climbing up the building and peeking in the "dressing" rooms. My dad collects Playboys, has 'em all and I perused those quite a bit when I was younger. Then one day my dad accidentally left one of his Beta tapes in the VCR and I discovered the wonderful world of hardcore porn. The Ginger Lynn classic The Woman Who Loved Men.  Why didn't you just save up your money and get the real thing - considering you had such easy access to real naked women. |

Not to mention Beta dying. That's probably your answer. We never had Beta, but I remember the local video stores selling off all their Beta tapes cheap (for the time) when the format was dying. He probably picked 'em up there, from the room with the beaded curtain. |

He probably picked 'em up there, from the room with the beaded curtain. He kept them in in a big locked briefcase - I had to keep turning the numbers until I hit the right combination. I didn't think video stores in the late 70's/early 80's already had the porn section. I thought he might have ordered them or something. |

They definitely had it here very early on, early enough that they still carried the CED VideoDisc format. (These things: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Ced_cart2.jpg) |

I did it the old fashioned way I stole it from my father, for some reason I found Hustler from 1979 in one of moms dresser drawers I know it was my fathers, I took the mag and looked at it and like the men I saw in it. those was the only ones I had for years then a nasty old man on the street (and by nasty I mean NASTY IE never bathed or cleaned his house ETC) gave me some Playboys (WHich of course did nothing for me). A Friend of mine his brother had some that he dumbly left laying around and my friend and I took those I dont remember what they where but I remember liked the guys in it (still no idea at the time that I was gay), I guess I just thought that it was normal (remember back woods kid here never even heard of gay people before), I got some off my granpa he gave them to me in a stack of old kids mags by mistake. Then I grew up and got found one called "Inches" hot guys HUGE cocks in them (I like to look at the big ones I aint gonna play with em). I know somewhere somehow I got ahold of some Playgirls I dont remember how but I was really not impressed with those.
I am still wondering why in like 1997 my mother STILL had old porn mags from the 70s, I recall my did finding my first stash (the one with all the women in it when I thought I was into girls, yes there is a back story to that), and going "By the way I found your little sex books" what he did with them IDK cause I never found them in the trash, I think he took them for himself, which he would not have fond if my nieces had not gone looking in my overnight bag and told him (fucking bitchs can't keep there mouth shut to this day but I still love them).I got better with hiding them the second go round I hid those in one of my closets.

The biggest revelation for me when it came to porn mags was that there was sometimes real content in the articles. I posted a blog entry about the first time I actually took the time as a teen to read an article in a mag I'd swiped from a friend's older brother. That article changed my life and I wish I'd kept it. I'm giving you an exalt because your story reminds me of this memory. Most of the ones I had the articles where trash or out dated |

Same for me. stolen from my dad until I got older and could get my own. Unfortunately it was mostly blondes in his collection. I lucked up and I managed to find a place to buy XXX videos underage. I got a nice collection built up with Mai Lin, Lind Wong,Kitty Yung, Jade East, Kristara Barrington on VHS. When I got my own place I got a subscription to Oriental Dolls. I still have this issue somewhere.  I later bought directly from Asia Carrera. I can't recall the company I use to get the latest Japanese Adult Videos from. I can say they got a large portion of my paychecks for a certain time frame.   |
