The first time I saw pornography, I was in the fifth grade.

I was over at my buddy Stephen's house and he found his dad's stash of Playboy magazines, probably 75 or so of them, in a big trunk.

And Stephen and I in the fifth grade memorized the pictures.

The second time I saw pornography,

I was in the seventh grade, and I was babysitting for a couple and in the living room this wasn't entirely

Unusual at the time in the living room they had playboy magazine sitting out on the coffee table.

And so in my rush of excitement as a seventh grader, I put the kids to bed at about 7 PM, and I started memorizing those photos. The third time I saw pornography I

was in the 10th grade and I found two penthouse magazines and kept them hidden for some time

until the guilt kind of overcame me

and I threw them away.

It was really, really hard to believe is I remember three things.

Number one, as a fifth grader, I remember the rush, the thrill, the excitement of seeing something that was

forbidden and get something that I wanted to see. The second thing I remember if I wanted to and I don't want to, but over four

decades later if I tried I could actually recall some of those images that I saw.

The third thing is I remember the confusion.

I remember the simultaneous excitement and shame and guilt that I felt as I looked.

Now back then pornography was really difficult to come by.

Today, as you know, you give your 12-year-old,

a mobile device, and essentially you're giving your kid porn in their pocket.

Why did I say 12 year old?

Because according to common sense media,

12 is the average age that a child will see pornography for the first time.
