I have heard (read) that Prince as a young kid once found a hardcore porn-magazine in his mom's bedroom, and he got "inspired".

I mean who else could write dirty porn-songs like "Soft & Wet", "Head", etc....

?

To create "Art" from a porn-magazine, wonderful, don't you agree.... those "nasty-Prince" sexxy songs are classics..

Ps. I am "a single" in my personal life.. & that means I love porn myself. I am just not skilled like Prince once was, I could never write a nasty song like he did back then... to make beautiful art from porn... it sure would take some skills..

I read this too. Apparently his mum didn't want to have 'the talk' with her son so instead to educate him she strategically left the books lying around for him to find.

Didn't he and Andre used to read those magazines in the basement... Pepe said it in a documentary I believe.

That sounds strange to me. He had a father and a step-father to give him a good talking to. I got the impression that the way Prince found his Mother's soft porn was while snooping through his Mother's things.

True, but I heard his step-father wasn't the nicest of people to him. So I really doubt he will of been bothered to talk to him about that. As for his actual father, I'm not sure either seen as he didn't actually live with them anymore.

Vanity 6's Nasty Girl and Drive Me Wild videos looks straight up like 80s porn. Let's not forget the BDSM scene in Automatic.

ROLLING STONE (1981)

Will the little girls understand?
By Bill Adler

Prince has written, arranged, performed and produced three albums to date (For You, Prince and Dirty Mind), all presenting the same unique persona. Appearances to the contrary, though, he says he's not gay, and he has a standard rebuff for overenthusiastic male fans: "I'm not about that; we can be friends, but that's as far as it goes. My sexual preferences really aren't any of their business." A Penthouse "Pet of the Month" centerfold laid out on a nearby table silently underscores his point.

Possessed: the Rise & Fall of Prince

Chapter 1 HOME

p 10-11

Prince's friend and surrogate brother, Andre Anderson, was also musically inclined, and the 2 began to jam together regularly in his mother's basement.

Upstairs, Prince shared a bedroom with Anderson. Despite being good friends, they were poor roommates; Anderson's side of the room was cluttered and disorganized, while Prince's was as meticulously ordered as a Marine barrack. Although he no longer lived with his father, Nelson's disciplined approach to life remained a significant influence on Prince, who sought greater order and privacy by moving into the basement...

Downstairs, he had much easier access to his instruments; already, Prince had started blending the distinction between home and musical workplace. Moreover, the basement became something of a private universe - a small slice of the world where he was in total control. A dark space with little natural light, it was nonetheless where he felt most comfortable, and it provided a prototype for the cloistered recording studios where he would spend the majority of his waking hours over the next thirty-plus years.

...

The Anderson basement - Prince's bedroom and rehearsal space - also represented his first attempt to create an alternative community based around music and, perhaps, sex. Years later in interviews, Prince would recall it as a hedonistic wonderland where he and Anderson engaged in carnal acts with a variety of girlfriends.

...

"My impression is that there were a lot of girls in that basement," said Howard Bloom, Prince's press agent during the 1980s. "He had grown up in the 1960's and the message was make love, not war. In the basement, he was going for liberation and entitlement to any sort of sexuality, pleasure, and enjoyment."

Wierd it hasn't been a porn spoof of sorts with Prince as front figure at some point.
