Hey, sorry for taking up space but I read a really great post by another poster at some point where he's discussing the meaning of life or some computer game or something and talks about how when he was younger he used to watch porn on a dial-up modem and would never know if the woman was a shemale until 10 minutes into downloading the picture.
If anyone knows where that post is please link it as I enjoyed the style of writing but can't for the life of me think of what it was about. I tried searching porn modem shemale dialup etc. But still can't find it. Thanks.
Found:
Now I know this sounds dumb. Going to the gym once a week without a diet plan does not make a successful bodybuilding programme. But you have to remember, this was 1996, and this was a completely different world from the one we live in now.
In those days, the hottest company around was Amazon.com, so named because the Yahoo search engine sorted websites by alphabetical order. The closest thing to a text message was paging 07734 to a friend, which spelled "hELLO", unless your friend didn't turn his pager upside down, in which case it just spelled 07734. The domain name google.com had not been registered yet. Surfing the net was done with a dial up modem that made a funny noise when it connected. And download speeds were so slow you could surf the whole night and only see 8 women (16 if you were looking for lesbians). Even worse, the pictures loaded slowly from top to bottom, so you were never quite sure if you were looking at a shemale until you'd wasted 10 minutes.

I like how it's a post about the meaning of life and the defining detail you remember is looking up porn on a dial-up modem haha.
Don't think I remember this particular post, but you could go ask in the find a thread thread I suppose.

okay, to tell you honestly starcraft brood war and starcraft 2 saved my life since I'm beginning to get addicted to porn before. (before I had a girl, all i did with the computer is download porn due to boredom, frequently jacking off and having no money go out and enjoy the sunshine)
I still remember, I was never a damn pervert, I never really liked to jack off until I was thirteen, I think that single japanese chick in a calendar made the make or break being addicted to master baytesion. which unfortunately the latter.

Heh, why am I not surprised that OP's from NZ. Our internet is actually that bad. XD
No idea about how to find the post though. Probably something that could be rather scary to find results for if it goes wrong. ><

As i work for a adult entertainment website, i can say that many of our customers are actually 30+ and often even 40+.
Well, maybe it's because on our websites you have to pay for it and younger people don't like to pay for stuff they can get free.

@morfildur: This man speaks the truth! younger people can find free porn that can satisfy themselves elsewhere :D

Funnily enough, I've always found free porn most rewarding and interesting than paid porn. Paid porn feels so... artificial.
btw OP sorry for derailing your blog  I am afraid I can't help you, I'm relatively new here and never heard of that blog entry you're looking for. GL on that

Haha, when I was thirteen, I remember doing the same thing and rages every time it disconnects when it gets to the good bits.

I definitely remember the post you're describing, but I'd have no idea how I would find it again.

Siiigh such a shame... Guess I'll just have to trawl through the blog posts of the last three months or so, LOL.

I remember something like this too... something about how it would take 10 minutes for the page to load and it loaded from top to bottom so he got a nasty surprise when it finished... lol

One time during orgasm I clenched my teeth so hard that i broke one of my brackets on my braces. The following week when i went in to get it fixed i had to sit through a lecture about how i shouldn't bite into hard things and be more careful. Also, "breaking braces" quickly became a euphemism for masturbation in my dormitory.
Luckily I no longer have braces.

Off topic here, but I've always been curious as to WHY people pay for porn? Is it because they don't know any free sites? Is it because they "love" a particular actress? I mean, I'd pay too for high-speed access if I were a multi-millionaire, but I don't think all of your customers are multi-millionaires.
If you could enlighten me on this I'd appreciate it Thanks.

Found it bitches... Just did a search for shemale on Google site:teamliquid.net:

There are some advantages, for example better video quality (image and audio wise). I once compared a few random free youporn samples with what we have on our site (we have a professional and a private porn section) and the image quality is very, very different.
Also most of the professional free porn (not including torrented or otherwise downloaded DVD rips) contains just parts of a DVD while you can get the full version only if you pay for it, which might play a role for some studios (The studio Private even adds some story to their movies... though... well, it's a porn movie. Example: + Show Spoiler +http://www.iafd.com/title.rme/title=Porn+Wars+1/year=2006
In summary: Quality might be better, but still... people seem to be too stupid to find free porn. But our turnover is degrading anyways, except for the private porn section, which is currently stable.
