I got rained out from work today and found myself with a few hours to kill and did something I haven't done in a long time. I put a porn tape in the VCR and sat down to enjoy an old fav VHS. As I got into the old couch and remote routine I found myself missing the days before dvds and internet porn.

Those days of searching. Driving. Weeding out which convenience stores sold good tapes and which were just shit stock. An occasional trip to the local porn that didn't yet have the big neon lights flashing in the window; they were still covered in paper and in the darker corners of town.

I look forward to being a parent one day, so I can bitch to my son that, in my day, we had to work for our pornography.

Kids these days don't appreciate anything. Wanna see tits? There's youtube. Forget tits; just download anal fisting from your phone while waiting for your mom to pick you up from soccer practice.

Back in my day, we had to buy tickets for Breakfast Club and sneak into Risky Business and sit through at least 45 mins just to see one tit. I'd ride my bike 2 miles to the store to sneak a 3 second look at Playboy before getting kicked out by the manager. There was so much damn bush, you couldn't see anything anyway. Watching actual porn scenes meant tracking down whose parents had a VCR and pray they had porn or even strokeworthy porn and waiting for them to leave us kids alone one night and pray my parents wouldn't call the house, asking to speak to an adult.

Back in the day, circa 1978, .... They showed two movies per week and you just had to hope they might be strokeable, cause there was no such thing yet as a porn guide or reviews.

Porn reviews, though rare, existed. They likely were hard for you to find in your fascist city. "Hustler" magazine had many such reviews. They used various stages of erection to rate the movie.

I recall "The Opening of Misty Beethoven" got a "fully erect" - the highest rating since they didn't have an ejaculating penis. Since I was way under age at the time, I didn't get to see the film until years later on VHS.

This is why I think that kids today should be known as GENERATION PORN.
