When I was younger (6-7ish) I found some porn mags my parents had and read them. Well, looked at the pictures mostly. I could read the articles but didn't understand the concepts at the time. Once my parents found out, they let me carry on. I even embarassed my mom once by running down the garden whilst she was talking to a neighbour over the fence clutching one and yelling "I've finished this one, can I have another?". My parents explained to me what sex was as soon as they figured I was old enough to ask about it and understand what they said, which for me was around 7 or 8 I think.

Why do I tell you this? Because I find it interesting that these days I have little interest in porn, have never bought a magazine, and don't watch much of it, whereas people I know who didn't read the things when little have huge collections. I also don't understand the obsession some people have with stopping kids from seeing naked bodies. What do you think they see when they look down in the bath?

And no, I'm not some sort of nudist/weird fetishist. I have a girlfriend, a healthy sex life, and still harbour my own inhibitions like I'm not particularly happy with how I look naked so I don't tend to show myself off. That's my choice though, not because I don't think people shouldn't see naked people.
