How old were you the first time you watched porn?

Contributor: Gracie Gracie
I was reading an online parenting site the other day and they claimed that the average age these days that a person sees porn the first time is 11. They said it is usually online and not always because they are seeking it out, but because there are sites looking to attract kids. I wondered what you guys thought about this and how old you were the first time?

I think that the internet is a real demarcation line in terms of early exposure to pornography. As someone in my 30s, I first encountered porn magazines when I was about 10. Back in those days, though, video was less common, and I didn't watch any until at least 4-5 years later.

I think that I had to be either 19 or 20 when I watched porn for the first time. It was at a x-rated theater and I remember not feeling to comfortable about being in a large room, full of people, watching the same porno.

Around 12 for actual visual porn. Which I did go looking for. I think some studies may be skewed because when the 11 year old gets caught they want to come up with some reason why it's not their fault they were looking at porn. "Oh...some pop up came up and I accidentally clicked it!" sounds like something I would have said at that age, too.

I called a phone sex line when I was around 9 or 10. So that was my first actual porn-ish experience.

I guess around 13, but the first stuff I saw was all softcore which didn't interest me that much.

My introduction to porn was not a good one. In college some of us made a bet with this one guy that he couldn't not be perverted for a whole day. If he won, which he did, we all had to watch a pron of his choosing. He chose this awful porn with overweight and not attractive people in it that involved food in not a good way. I'll spare the gory details, but I'm still a little skeptical of porn to this day.

I'm pretty sure I was 12. And it was on purpose.
