Guys who were teens before internet: Where did you get porn dvds/magazines?

pictures of a girl in a bathing suit was porn to most teens. 

I remember in the early 80's I became a regular at the local supermarket bathroom because the men's had a few playboy and penthouse magazine's in there. It wasn't really a public washroom, they didn't have one, but would let you use the staff one if you said you really needed it. After a couple times I just started going in there without asking, I'd just walk in the back and go in and see the mags. I was like 8-9 years old. A few years later we got a satellite dish and there was tons of porn channels on there. Also my Dad had a drawer full of playboys. Getting a porn movie was usually very very difficult for kids back then however, I was one of the lucky kids who's parents had a satellite dish.

There were shops who were selling those types of magazines & cds.

Playboy and Penthouse magazine.

There were men's magazines, e.g. "Playboy" began in 1953. "Cavalier", "Saga". etc. also had nude photos of girls.

Magazines and late-night cable tv some movie channels aired soft porn. busty cops, witches of breast wick and so on. 

VHS tapes....  

I was a teen well before DVDs.  A lot of the time we didn't have porn, we had to rely on a flash of tit on the tv or the panty section of the Target catalogue.  If you were lucky your friend might have been able to "borrow" one of his dad's videos.  You couldn't do anything while you were watching it as your mates were right next to you, but when you got home....

In the early 90's me and my friends used to gather around in a tent to look at the sears swimsuit section. Not even kidding.
