* Many of the first advertisements for digital cameras slyly hinted—or all but said—that now consumers could make their own porn without worrying about sending it off for processing. See item number four (and its accompanying images) in the [http://www.cracked.com/article_18888_5-ways-porn-created-modern-world.html Cracked.com article mentioned above].
* It's believed a similar dynamic is at work with the quick adoption of camera phones.

** [[This Is Wrong on So Many Levels|That is wrong for SO MANY REASONS.]]
** There's a reason why those anatomically correct dolls are called "Dutch wives".
* Vibrators were also among the first electrical gadgets. One notable case was the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' vibrating broomstick toy, only for the more raunchy crowd to adopt it as a cheap alternative to the likes of the Hitachi Magic Wand with sex shops stocking them up. Mattel understandably took umbrage and discontinued the toy not long after.

Line 125:
** In Japan, some of the first early personal computer games were [[Eroge]]s, with [[Koei]] releasing what is claimed to be one of the first erotic simulation games ever, ''Night Life'', in 1982. Some of the most famous developers, like [[Square]], [[Enix]], [[Hudson Soft]] and [[Nihon Falcom]], began theirs careers as developers of erotic games before finding success with more mainstream titles. Some popular genres like the [[Visual Novel]] and the [[Dating Sim]] began in the realm of eroge before their [[Bleached Underpants|undergarments were bleached]].

* Porn might be older than humanity itself. It has been shown that monkeys will [http://www.bioedonline.org/news/news.cfm?art=1551 give up their juice in exchange for a brief glimpse at a female monkey's hindquarters.] It wouldn't be too unreasonable to think that our close ancestors would trade a look at someone's body in exchange for something else.
* Probably the most famous prehistoric art in the world consists of rock carvings of big-breasted naked women. Paleolithic cave paintings could be rather raunchy too.
