Things that blew your mind the first time you saw them

[MellowJoe]

1st time I saw a porn mag.. you know people say that things are more impressive when you're young? and well, impressionable..
and then you get older and wiser, you've seen a few things etc been to a few places, and then looking back.. you go, Pah! I used to think that was impressive!? Ain't that strange.. like when you're 8 or something and you go on a boat to Ireland and you think look at the size of this boat! this is a boat!? That floats? Then of course years later you see a cruise liner and you realize how big boats can be..
anyway, the 1st porn mag I saw had an image of John Holmes titfucking Candy Samples

Driving to Machrie (on the west side of Arran) from Ardrossan when I was 18 with some mates. It was on a golden summer's evening and the beauty of it was mesmerising and nothing like I'd ever experienced before.
