Line 19:
* Eventually, the medium reaches its developmental limit, forming its "climax community." This is the point at which the new medium and its associated community will no longer develop due to the fact that said medium's boundaries have been pushed as far as possible. As such, it can no longer support any more organisms than it already is (radio is at this stage).
Of course, the reason this trope practically exists is because [[Freud Was Right]]. A result of this rule is (in part) why [[The Internet Is for Porn]]. Can contribute to the perception that [[New Media Are Evil]]. May be a [[Mundane Utility]]
See also [[Rule 34]] and [[Intercourse with You]]. 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
** And don't forget ''[[wikipedia:The Dream of the Fishermanchr(27)s Wife|The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife]],'' (link is [[The Other Wiki]]) which is [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle]] hentai [[Older Than They Think|dating back to]] ''[[Older Than They Think|1820]]''...
** More importantly, the anime/manga ecosphere gets quite a bit of talent from the doujinshisphere, which is very often populated with hentai doujinshi's of popular anime/manga.

* Similarly to ''[[Caprica]]'', the [[Shirow Masamune]] series ''[[Real Drive]]''. The potentially world changing Meta-real was popularized as and continues to be used for sexy purposes.

* It's older than that too. Note nudes in art and people have got to have been the bodies for all those naked Greek statues.
** Those pristine white marble statues were originally painted. With extreme accuracy.
Line 120 ⟶ 121:
* It's not too uncommon of an occurrence for people to take pictures of their genitals as their first photo on the Game Boy Camera, or on it's [[Spiritual Successor]] in the [[D Si]]. With the 3DS on the market now (with its novel and unique 3D camera), people will ensure that it fits this trope.
* ''[[Minecraft]]'' and its gigantic penis monuments in Creative mode.
* While the early computer game industry had relatively few sex
** The early video game industry had even less room for sex, which is not surprising given the perceived target audience. This was especially true on the consoles, where the hardware was hardly up to the task, and the market severely restricted by high entry costs and the watchful eyes of the [[Moral Guardians]]. Nonetheless, at least one company released a few such titles, the most infamous of
** 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.

* 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.
