Same here.
Downloaded my first pr0n on a BBS.
Ha, my first time as well, probably like uh, 9 years ago, I guess. Amusing story actually. I had d/led a nekkid pic of this chick, with a filename called cable.gif. I guess it took me a good 10 minutes to d/l the ~150k file. So I download the file, view it, get all happy (well, not that happy), and go offline. 2 minutes later the phone rings. (Bear in mind this was a big deal to me to d/l this file, at 15 yrs. old) I answer the phone:
Me: Hello?
Other person: This is Cable, you just downloaded my pic from Westar BBS right?
Me: (Oh sh*t) Uh yeah
Chick on phone: You liked the pic?
Me: Um, yeah
Chick: Good. Bye.
Me: Bye
<click>
I think later on I came to realize that the guy that ran the BBS had two daughters, and one of the daughters must've seen me d/ling that file and decided to bust my chops.
At the time I wasn't sure if I was more nervous or excited thinking that I'd always get phone calls from the women whose pictures I d/led.
I remember having the phone near me after I got offline just in case I were to ever get another call like that.
