When I think back on my childhood growing up in the wild west internet I remember going through embarassing stuff, like reading "erect penis" or "masturbation" online and asking my parents what that was (man... the joys of being neurodivergent - no but the contexts were a little worse than this, no, not fanfic) things like that. And I was exposed to stuff like cybersex as well, and I would ask my parents things like "why did that guy ask my panties' color? what's the fun in that?". Thankfully my parents were comparatively okay with sexual content (if only because I cried too much whenever I was scolded for something I didn't get) but yeahhhh .........

However I do feel like it wasn't as bad as it is now. Back then you had to dig the porn content. It didn't load quickly, after all. There was no... what's the name of that youtube-like website for porn anyway? Whatever. For text, you had to click "I am over 18 and I consent". Neopets? It's full of censorship and you're not posting if you're under 13, kiddo. And I recall lots of anime websites had "anti-hentai" buttons (!). It wasn't impossible to find porn but you had to go after it I feel. Nowadays... sometimes I will be reading a vanilla manga and end up facing the weirdest porn ad in mangafox or what have you. It *feels* different. People share nudes too easily, and people spread nudes as a way to harm others too easily as well. (ahh normie stuff.) For chronological reasons there are more creepy geezers who are internet-literate. And so on. And so forth.

It does seem to be less safe for me nowadays, if only because I as an adult sometimes try to avoid the porn content but fail miserably. It's been too... normalized? This idea that the internet is not educational, rather it is for porn (really, it isn't. The internet is a great tool, actually. Geez) .

(Same anon) there is something else I just remembered, which is ironic, but true. Back in the wild west internet homophobia was still rampant, so kids weren't likely to expose their sexual preferences or maybe on their friends-locked journal if anything. It's less commonplace nowadays but I think maybe 7-or-so years ago, everyone had their sexuality on their profile (like everyone has pronouns now). Even as an adult that made me really uncomfortable, as 1) doesn't that make things easier for sexual predators? 2) and shouldn't we... give kids time to grow up and develop instead of pushing them to make such "choices" (identity-wise, exposure-wise) at an early age? While of course it is great that homophobia isn't as rampant anymore, this outcome was bad. Thankfully things seem to have changed since.

But yeah. Ironically, it does seem to me like it was better to grow up in the wild west internet than in today's internet at least when it comes to sexual discoveries.

Tangentially related to this, I miss when websites would 'hide' their 18+ content on a secret page and you basically had to solve a mini puzzle (or be html-savvy, or sometimes both) to get access to it. There was something charming about having to work a little for your wank material.
