I jerked it to the Hanson mmbop video back in the nineties.

Found out later the girl was a boy.

You can judge all you want, but the general thing is that horny teenagers will jerk it to almost anything.

That a porn ban does not work and people will find a way around it.

When I was a kid there weren't all this free porn sites and most of them were paid.

So you would go to some shady site where people shared passwords. This might make a comeback

Nice to know that I'm not the only one. It was quite a surprise when I realized that they all are boys/men.

There's more out there that would never admit it because of that. Which is silly when you think about it.
