Does anybody actually watch the Sky Adult Channels?

Hotels in the 90s.

There was a trick you could do involving plugging the kettle lead into the cable box that gave you free access to the good channels. Happy time!

I've been spending quite a bit of time in hotels recently, and you only get freeview. I was channel hopping and was really surprised to see that babestation is still going. I can't see how that still makes money!

It was just average looking girl with a bad boob job, trying to get people to phone in. They were also trying to get people to text a number to receive a few photos. I can understand that making money pre-internet, but how does it survive now?

Sounds like an exhaustive study you made there....

When I lived at home with the folks in the early nineties, me dad decided to get Sky. I rolled in from the pub one Friday night & flicked on the telly & went surfing. I ended up on Men & Motors & to my surprise I was watching a couple of hotties on a sofa engaging in what can only be described as feeling each other up.

Unbeknownst to me, the telly in mum & dad's bedroom was wired into the Sky box & whatever I watched appeared on theirs.

Next morning, the old man spent a good half hour at breakfast winking & sniggering at me in between muttering - 'good lad, chip off the old block'. I had no idea I'd been busted for hours.

One of my best teenage memories was staying up for the 10 minute preview at midnight. One time in the late 90s the encryption didn't come on and I stayed up until 4am hoping my mother wouldn't come down stairs!

You never heard of fuzzy porn. It's like wearing 3D glasses to view scrambled porn.........you just squint a bit!

On the German channels they had the picture all scrabbled in black and white but you could still hear the sound. Occasionally VOX and RTL would have some proper uncensored 70s stuff. I guess I'm not the only bloke who mourned the passing of analogue sky and it's foreign content.

Around the same time there was a VHS doing the rounds that the male half of the whole year had a copy of. My mum found my copy behind my wardrobe and confronted me about it. Thank god she never tried to see what it was as this particular film was nicknamed "st on me".

It was a pretty robust introduction to hardcore porn. Italian, 70s, medallions, perms, DP, DV, DA, gangbang, cum drinking and as mentioned stting. My middle aged neighbour asked if I had any pornos he could borrow so I gave it to him. Years later I mentioned it to his daughter who told me his mrs found and destroyed his stash!
