I read in a old article today that unlike a lot of boys his age Prince had an early libido! Apparently, it started off with him reading his mom's soft core erotica books and then when he was bored he would write his own stories at just eight years old! So, my question is this a real or just media hype?

I have no idea how old Prince was, however, I do believe that Prince wrote about sex.

Prince believes as most people do that sex is interesting.

well I wouldn't call it "media hype", but it has been widely reported (well, certainly the "fact" that he had access to porn from a young age (but, not that that is unusual either!))

but, it must have come from prince originally, so it depends whether you believe him or not. and, furthermore, whether it actually matters?!

that explains everything

If we only had the chance to ask him

But, 8 years old??? If that's true... I'm very sorry for him ( that makes me cry, even more than his ballads do!)...

It could be a fact because I saw some real freaky deaky things when I was around eight years old. Influences me to this day. and there's nothing wrong with it BUT I feel no child should be exposed to freaky deaky sexual things. It affected Prince too.

perhaps you're female?

really, i don't think many males would find that shocking and I think many women might be surprised at how young boys get introduced to/search out pornographic material. and, in fact, doesn't just watching tv expose people of all ages to some form of sexual context?

I am pretty sure my 9 year old son isn't!!!!! And no...i'm not blind

It's a myth.

They were hard core porn.

Ooooh....then it's okay

Mindflux said:

porn? i thought it was a romance novel
there's a fine line as well as a huge difference between the two

there's nothing wrong with it? Those were the seeds planted in Ted Bundy and Dahmer at early ages. You never know what those seeds will grow to be in different individuals. The base line is; whatever the effect of porn is, it's negative and it's not from God

I was exposed to porn at a very young age, and I turned out just fine. Now I'm off to putting the finishing touches on my skin suit made from deli meat...

I guess it sucks being you.

Think you could make me a little pocket-purse with the leftovers?

Just don't make it out of penile skin, cos if you rub it it'll turn in to a briefcase!

JesusFreak said:

Oh, don't be so alarmist and ridiculous - those are 2 extreme examples and are not at all "run of the mill" people.

And you're not quite right either - Ted Bundy actually searched out detective novels that had graphic sexual violence stories. And Jeffery Dahmer's interest was in scouting out dead animals or killing animals himself.

God's creations, eh?!

Funny, you seem to be confusing yourself with Jesusfreak, cos I was responding to him.

Seems like I heard an interview with someone..maybe his sister.. that his mom actually taught him the "birds and the bees" by giving him adult magazines.

i used to draw naked people when i was about that age,nothing very sexually charged about it though, i was just fascinated with boobs because i didn't have them then...actually im pretty fascinated with them now

No, but I could be confusing you with Johnny On The Spot. I deleted my comment but since you're Johnny look what we have here. You were on it! I know I'm popular around here so I never know who's trying to get my attention but let's move on shall we?

I think Prince found some porn magazines in his mother's closet.... I don't remember any stories in the media about him writing porn stories....

ps, nothing wrong with porn, I can't live without ...

I read about this in the book The Imp of the Perverse by a British author whose name I don't remember now.

I beat him by one year earlier.
