My family first got Internet service in late '95 or mid '96. Those were the good ol' dial-up days, with Netscape Navigator 3 as our browser and webpages that had overcast grey for their backgrounds.

The computer—the only PC in the house at that time—was located in my parents' study, which opened up in the main parts of the house. At the time I was just entering puberty, struggling with a semi-leninent religious upbringing vs. an impulsive desire to look at these fascinating things called boobies. Regardless, I made the resolve to be a good little Christian boy and stay off adult sites. It wasn't just my soul that was at stake either, but the fact that I could be caught at any time. I knew everyone was watching.

So for me my Internet habits were innocous. I stuck to alt.simpsons newsgroups. The "naughtiest" thing I got into were the myriad of Kill Barney websites. There was the Jihad to Destroy Barney on the World Wide Web, Kill Barney fanfics, various Kill Barney game mods and homebrew apps (some of which probably infected the machine.) It was fucking stupid. But I was being good. If I accidentally stumbled onto porn (and I swear, they wear accidents!) I clicked out immediately and probably prayed about it later.

Skipping ahead for the sake of brevity, I discovered masturbating to orgasm the summer before eighth grade, and somewhere in that time frame the internet connected PC got moved upstairs. More privacy, more temptation. It was small at first. Sites like Famous Babes and Picpost were semi-regular hits.

Then one summer day, I found an FTP directory of anime pictures. Most of them were innocent enough, but I had this feeling that if I delved deep into it I would find nudity. I kept clicking and clicking, turning every file name purple.

And then...after an hour or so of clicking, I found it: P409BIS.gif

What was so amazing about this pic?

 It was the way the vibrator cord was wrapped around the purple-haired girl, snaking about her body like bondage, ending where the toy fucked her pussy. The way the cord squeezed her tits tight, making them bulge out. It was the bruentte girl's pink nipples hovering over purple's stomach. The fact that they were both nude, engaged in filthy hot lesbian sex. The pussy juice leaking from both girls' slits. The sweat (or more likely pussy juice?) covering their bodies. The looks of pure ecstacy on their faces.

Yeah, by today's standards this pic is probably ancient. There are drawings with much better attention done to genital detail. But in that moment, my hand flew to my cock and I never looked back. This would be the first pic I ever jerked off to multiple times, whenever I got the chance.

We all have our moment where innocence goes down the shitter. There was porn before this and there has been plenty after it. But this one is special to me, as it is the one I truly recognize as The Beginning.

 It was all downhill from here.
