The very first image of a topless woman I remember seeing was in a copy of National Lampoon. She was holding a large wheel of gouda cheese (I don't remember the context, just the picture).
In the seventh grade I traded my VHS copy of one of the early WrestleMania's for two Playboy centerfolds, once of which was one of the Price is Right models.
But when it comes to "pornography" our society seems to take a view similar to profanity.
It is ok to make someone think it but not make them see it or hear it. So you can say "f*ck" in the newspaper, which makes all of you mentally think the word but not to actually print the word. Same with graphic sex. I certainly learned more at a young age about the mechanics of sex from Jean Auel than from the pornography I'd seen.
