Oh dano, you voyeur you. Well, I have been known to exhibit exhibitionist tendencies.

Are you a voyeur or an exhibitionist?
To keep it thread related: do you look at internet porn, or do you put porn on the internet?

Also, what was the first porn you ever viewed on an IBM PC clone? I seem to recall mine being a GIF of a topless woman that I got off of CompuServ in the early '90s. I think that opened my eyes to the true possibilities of technology.

I'm quite shy, goml. But that doesn't mean I've haven't been involved with putting porn on the internet.

First PC porn was probably some desktop cheesecake on some guy's computer at college, late eighties. Certainly no replacement for Swank at the time though. First porn acquired via the Internet was probably 1995-96. Not sure exactly where I got it, but did involve some negotiation with a dude to get it. A medium-build redhead and a lot of work for meh.

Then, about two years later — by '98 at the latest — it was daily free-wheeling dirty downloads and cam girls. The birth of WWW is the real party.
