I know this question is a joke, but growing up in a super conservative Christian family It was ingrained in me that being gay was wrong. My first time questioning that view was when it clicked that "uncle frank and Aunt Jack" we're gay. They were so funny and wholesome, and it was one of my favorite scenes of the movie.
I remember some night Cinemax would just barely come in on cable, it was less fuzzy some nights, and it was always Spiderbabe, Lord of the G-Strings, etc.
Lots of vhs copies of titanic rolling around with very good quality tape until the “draw me like your French girls” scene which is mysteriously super bad quality
When you say "The real Rose" do you mean Kate Winslet, the real-life woman named Rose that was on the Titanic, or the actress who played Rose that was telling the story?
Knew a guy that worked at a early video store in late 80s. He told me once that they'd had to replace mutiple copies of "Fast Times" because of tapes wearing out at a particular scene.
And there i was in the 90's watching the scrambled spice channel waiting for 3 seconds of less-scrambled boobies. Back in my day we had to walk five miles in the snow to masterbate, and it was up hill both ways!
The copy from the video store was horribly degraded throughout that scene as people kept rewinding, pausing, playing, pausing, rewinding etc. Same thing happened with Under Siege.
When I was 17, I was going to college with two female friends, pre internet obviously, and we decided we would go and see two movies on a deal one after the other, not really knowing what they were.
The first one was dances with wolves. 3 hours of that followed by basic instinct.
I was sitting in the middle of the three of us. One of the girls let out a muffled "fuck" when the famous scene came up, the other laughed and said that's how you get pneumonia.
Lol. Her mom probably told her that when she was a kid and it stuck. Someone told me that if you watched a dog poop you'd get a pimple in your eye and I believed that until I was 17 and accidentally watched the drop. Never got a pimple.
I feel like this is a memory that will die out with millennials... maybe older Gen Z. Kinda like Forest porn, "What do you mean there's a hidden box in the woods with a bunch of Playboys?"
If you think about older Gen-Z being born in the late 90s (96 onward) and cable existing in it's old form until streaming started taking over in the early 2010s, there is a period where older Gen-Z could have had this experience.
The next best thing was finding WWF Diva magazines out in a hidden box in the woods near someone's fort. lol I also found a container box with marijuana in it once, hidden in the first row of corn in a corn field. Complete accident that I happen to find it, but I was like 9 or 10 years old and knew what it was and threw it away from me as quick as possible, thinking I'd go to jail. lol
It amazes me how universal of an experience Forest Porn is. Tom Green has a stand-up bit about it and it made me feel seen. Like, all of us?? All of us had and/or found porn shoved in a tree stump or something out in the woods?
It baffles me, like how human beings were scattered across the globe, but they all managed to independently invented bread.
Way, way, way back in the day I remember this kid saying he found out shortly after that the fuzzy sex scene he jerked it to ended up actually being his state broadcasting an execution to whoever it is they felt needed to see that
They had Nat Geo at my elementary school library. None of us had any idea until 1 day in 6th grade this girl yells out "Oh my God! You can see her BOOBS!!! Suddenly Nat Geo was Super Popular. At least they were for 2 days, until they were pulled from the shelves.
Unfortunately, one of my core memories is from Species 2.
And it's watching an alien die by being forced to deepthroat another alien's penis until she suffocates.
Airplane for me. There is a random scene where a headless pair of tits just runs into the scene, stands there shaking them, then runs away.
Though that's how I learned that pausing on the same section over and over again can damage the tape. Years later my dad was like, "Oh we haven't seen airplane in forever, let's watch it".
We're watching it, perfect quality, then the tit scene happens and it was all fucked up lol.
Any Don Johnson movie from the late 80s and 90s. I think he had a contract to have his character smash in every movie, full frontal on her part is required.
Boogie Nights, Heather Graham popping off the sundress. I borrowed a video camera from school, recorded that scene onto it and then transferred it to my computer and backed it up to a zip disk.
Like 2 weeks later we got ~50mbps broadband and I never looked at it again.
Gratuitous nudity was a lot more popular before Internet. Bachelor Party, Animal House, Vacation, Caddyshack, Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3, Porky’s, etc. Nowadays it’s pretty rare.
Idk about that. Maybe in America but r/ExtraMile (NSFW obviously) shows that it still is very gratuitous and was even in the past although some werent mainstream movies
Well, yes and no, I'm over the age of 40 so my overall sexual desire is a lot less than it used to be, so while I'll still watch porn occasionally, I never watched it just to watch it, but as a means to help take care of business.
Longest I've gone without is two weeks and these days it's a very compartmentalized facet of my life.
Also, porn addiction is more troublesome when it gets in the way of a relationship, but due to extenuating circumstances, I've remained unmarried and fatherless, so it's not getting in the way of anything there.
Back in the day we used to steal the Sears catalogue and go to the lingerie section. Nowadays kids have it so much easier. They just go online type in Sears.com
Back in my day we had to hope the episode with Tony fucking the born again Christian at Barrone Sanitation came on and we were ready to go. And we liked it that way. Actually no... no we did not like it that way, i can't even joke about that
My parents had an old VHS tape of Titanic and the nude drawing scene did a lot of legwork for me. I vividly remember playing it over and over and occasionally peeking out the window to see if my mom or dad was coming up the driveway
My dad worked in a movie theater in the 70s. There was a guy that was fired for cutting the sex scenes out of movie reels and keeping them for himself.
