{{quote|''"If you really look into the history of our technological development, you'll notice that the force driving us forward all this time wasn't our need to better ourselves or seek out truth in all its forms, but rather our desire to see naked people touch each other's junk."''|''[[Cracked.com]]'', [http://www.cracked.com/article_18888_5-ways-porn-created-modern-world.html "5 Ways Porn Created the Modern World"]}}
{{quote|''"When man invented fire, he didn't say, "Hey, let's cook." He said, "Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark." As soon as Caxton invented the printing press, we were using it to make pictures of, hey, naked bottoms! [[The Internet Is for Porn|We have turned the Internet into an enormous international database of naked bottoms.]] So you see, the story of male achievement through the ages, feeble though it may have been, has been the story of our struggle to get a better look at your bottoms."''|Steve Taylor, ''[[Coupling]]''}}

See [[Video Game Perversity Potential]] for this trope as applied to video game editors.

* [[Hentai]]. An actual strange case, hentai actually ''precedes'' the [[Anime]] forms most Westerners are familiar with; the Rule of First Adopters applies to anime in microcosm as it's applied to individual series, with often the first adaptations of successful anime or manga series being pornographic "retellings." Hentai even ''subverts'' this trope, as popular hentai anime, manga, or video game series [[Bleached Underpants|are then turned into]] more "[[Moral Guardians|Moral Guardian-friendly]]" adaptations.
