I wasn't going to answer this, but why not.

Yes I was, maybe not severley...but I was made to expose myself to people,and I was touched frequently. And I was introduced to pornography by this same person,also at a very young age.

1, and both. Going into detail would be to painful/ uncomfortable.

I think I discovered it around 5-6 years old...

John on the EIDB says Ennea-twins can have spooky similarities, but I never expected something like this.

Same here.

Pretty much the same here...
Maybe something common to INTP women?

LOL, my parents would keep me in the dark for years on that issue... I sort of forced them to "educate" me on that matter around the age of 7 - when after the Christmass meal, where my grandfather and uncle were present, I thought it was a good occasion to bring that question up once again. LOL, I will never forget the look on their faces - embarassed, some too pale, some too blushed; my dad gave me a book on "those things" written for children as there was no way in hell my parents would sit and actually talk to me about sex. I found the book stupid, but at least I got some idea on what the big deal was about.
Don't ask how many years they were concealing that info from me - let's just say I was born a very curious child.

Me too.

Me three. I discovered online porn at 12. I still hold that it's one of mans greatest accomplishments to have a world-wide nework to distribute it.

This will be our society's downfall.

I assume you'll tell me porn is why I'm gay.

My parents were very mum on the word, too. Well, to an extent. I remember being, can't remember the aga definitely under 10 maybe 6-7 and asking my mom what did sex mean. Or hearing the term 'necking' on the show Happy Days and asking what it meant. No answer. Probably a good training ground for being an INTP - figure out a resonable answer on my own accord.

I remember being on vacation and I'm not quite sure the circumstance but it was one of those things where as a kid you repeat everything you hear, and at this time it was necking. And my mom came into the hotel room asked where my father and sister were and I said, "In the bathroom - necking!"

A quick scolding for saying that, but my mom still wouldn't tell me what it meant. Yeah, too bad my best line was wasted on a private audience. Who knows how many trips to a social worker or therapist that would've gotten us.

Flash forward to seventh grade when I had to give a report of the reproductive system in class. Now I had had learned enough through some classes in elementary school and figuring stuff out from "traveling salesmen having to sleep with the farmer's daughter" jokes, but this was different. My mom was a nurse. I had seen some of the books she had around, but those were like encyclopedias compared to her medical text books. These things were so graphic I for years seriously wondered how doctors and nurses ever got aroused because in my mind all I see humans as being tissue, mukus and blood.

No sexual abuse, though stripped my sister's dolls before I was seven. Loved touching women's/girls' legs at a young age. Still do, but rubbing my hand across a woman's tigh and saying she has soft legs now would get me maced and/or fired and/or sued and/or kicked in the groin, as opposed to a sweet smile and a thank you that it produced when I was in kindergarten.

exposure to Playboy magazine at a young age. Penthouse a little later on. Curious type touching with other kids in the 'hood at an early age. I think nowadays it'd be considered kids offending kids, whether consentual or not, which this definitely was. Not the 'you show me yours, I'll show you mine' we'd all grown so found of referring to it as.

It wasn't until I was in high school, maybe 16, when I saw my first porno. One of my sister's friends worked at video store and let my friends and I check some out. I have no idea if we were ahead or behind the curve on that.

Not sure there were any lasting affects. There were parent/child communication issues but those were in general, not pertaining to sex alone.

Lol, I stripped Ken.


It was the Ken that worked with Orca's, he had a wet suit, flippers, the whole 9 yards.

Hey Tim, can you clarify the question? I mean, do you see a connection between being sexually aroused and being sexually abused at a young age? And what does porn have to do with either?

Heh, looks like I'm behind the curve on this one. Had the basics figured out by 10 or so, from a combination of my mothers' medical texts and the occasional piece of fiction. (Public libraries are a Good Thing. However, I didn't start masturbating until I was 12, when I finally had enough privacy to experiment in.) Didn't hear a word on the matter from my folks until I was well past puberty, but there's always been a low signal:noise ratio when speaking with them. At age 15 or so they gave me a book that was mostly redundant by then. I'd also noticed that I was somewhat kinky by that time. That last at least is looking fairly common among INTPs, if the posters to this thread are a representative sample.

An interesting note on being a visual artist is that it's led to most porn failing in it's intended function - I keep trying to analyse the (often lacking) composition instead of enjoying the image.

Never been abused, fortunately. Any mental damage I may or may not have experienced from the stuff in the rest of this post was self-inflicted and accidental, if not outrightly the figment of someone elses' imagination.

Except it was with girls only only. Two female neighbors did the whole doctor thing when I was 5 or so. Seperate instances.

I attach no negative connotations (of my own) to these experiences, and consider my monogomous sex life completely normal, albeit imaginatively active.

(from Paul James' essay)

Wooo!

Can't speak for anyone else, but my definition of 'kinky' probably ends where yours starts; with a segue into 'way far out there'. Preferring that ones' partners be dressed in PVC would be kinky, for the near-end example. Category 'out there' covers things like bloodplay.
