If you were a teenager, back when online porn were all pay sites, and so you were using Kazaa/Limewire instead, then you know.

That was never a thing. I grew up in the 90s and I could easily find free porn websites. My main limitation was dial-up internet, not knowing where to find it...

I used to leech my neighbours WiFi on my PSP and download stories on the Sex Stories Text Repository because images were too slow.

Sometimes that wasn't enough and the anticipation of not knowing whether you'll see a nipple or a dick on the next few lines of the image was preferable.

I got in the habit of opening multiple tabs while reading a text story, and then finishing up when the tabs finally loaded.
