I remember the first time I saw the phrase "streaming video" was a website called "teen steam" (which I desperately wanted a credit card to access) in the late 90s / early 2000s.
I'm sure you can guess what the content of that site was and I was sure that "streaming" was some new sex act I had yet to discover and wanted very much to find out. Sadly I was too young, too poor and logged onto the Internet in the school library at lunch time so it was always going to be a long shot.
Haha I remember that time too well. Luckily I had a CC and I bought everything on the net back then and was so fascinated by it. Typing a number in and getting stuff. I ordered crap from the other side of the world, it was incredible. Yes, porn included. How could one resist that temptation back then, I was 12 or so ๐
