Here's the history!

So where did it start? What made you start looking at blogs of people who seemed keen on sharing the most intimate details of their sex lives and relationship issues? Simple answer is I don't know. I have always pushed my boundaries when 'sex surfing'. Checking out female sex sites is now so easy, there are so many of them and if I get caught - so what. It is what red blooded males do.

It started with downloading images from the newsgroups (in the early days using a modem!! Yes I am THAT old!) and after searching and viewing alt.binaries.female.pictures etc. First it was just naked pics of women then I found myself viewing more and more pictures of intercourse.

Not for the hard-on (although that was an interesting and sometimes satisfying side affect) I found myself looking at other men’s cocks, their size, shape, girth and usability - not recognising this at first, I continued to trawl my way through grainy pictures on the net (for some reason completely ignoring mainstream female pornographic literature I might add).

Some of the pictures had Bulletin board addresses so I'd look them up - log on and leech like crazy whenever possible. Later, I was able to visit web addresses that were listed on the pics. I have seen so many tours and previews it is laughable. I have never signed up to a porn site and I doubt I ever will - what can they show me that I can't get off the net? Soon enough female/male pics became uninteresting - female/female didn't hold the same fascination but the odd one that showed female/male/male partnerships gave me a new buzz.

Alt.binaries.male.pictures was calling - off I went... This had everything I wanted - Pictures of men’s cocks, of course but also man on man images. These images were hot and they also carried the inherent danger that came with possessing these pictures, the risk of being caught downloading them and the risk of keeping them in a household that would not understand the concept of they are only pictures and I am not gay.

Why I like to look at cocks, male sex etc I am sure will be covered in future posts - this is the history lesson not psychology so I won't go into it yet.

Many fruitful years of downloading, looking at and generally deleting the images led me onto teh next stage downloading videos, videos that would now be kicked off you tube for being too poor quality were my first foray into the world of gay film pornography.

Unfortunately, newsgroups began to become censored by many ISP's and the only way to get the binaries was to pay specialist providers - I DON'T DO THAT.

The web was more fully available (still modems in UK though) and lots of interesting searches eventually brought my attention to a few sites that were basically the first amateur attempts to produce what has become a major part of the porn industry - the webcam site. I will discuss them at a later date as well. AJBoy and Hot boy stick in my memory for some reason!! (I think I still have some of their pics and videos on a CD somewhere!)

Along comes the new revolution - Broadband -- DSL --big fat pipes with unlimited download (within reason!) A new world of downloading. PC at home - no more downloading at work and sneaking them out on floppies/tapes (yep I used 4mm DAT to transfer files at one point - geek alert!)

Always on downloads meant - peer to peer file sharing - limewire, e-mule, bit torrent all played a part in establishing a collection of gay porn second to none. Much of it still exists on DVD's and the older stuff is on DLT tapes -much of BEL AMI's back catalogue is in numerous AVI's and MPG's ranging from 100mb per part to the full film at DVD standard 4.7Gb.

All hidden away.
All no longer watched.
All a waste of time and bandwidth.
All great fun to obtain and watch (generally in fast forward I have to admit - will discuss this later! - familiar statement eh?)

Hstory over.
