And setting both our individual experiences aside and focusing on the macro (which constitutes the readership of the category) things are incredibly different from pre-internet developing individuals and post
I thoroughly disagree. I'm old enough to remember getting porn on VHS tapes, when I didn't have an internet connection yet. You wanted porn, you went into a store and picked something from a very limited selection. That selection being what the store owner had the most faith in renting out / selling, because they had to pay licences for them much like streaming services have to now. In short, the exact opposite of what we have today. And, guess what... if you checked the "most popular" lists, there was always, ALWAYS, something along the lines of "With My Sister In The Barn - Part IV" on those lists. Right next to BDSM and interracial.
...almost like people were looking for things that were considered "forbidden".
