Porn Memory for Arena Magazine

When I was 14 my friends and me managed to get in to see an X film double bill of “Kentucky Fried Movie” and “The Other Cinderella” at the Well’s Odeon. “The Other Cinderella” was a not very funny, not very pornographic, comedy porn film. To a gang of young boys who had never seen such a thing, it was the most amazing thing ever. I mainly remember trying to conceal my constant erection and then finding out afterwards that all my friends were doing the same thing. My only other vivid memory of the whole experience was when a bloke a couple of rows back shouted out (in a broad Somerset accent) “Pert Nipples!” Me and my friends still say that to each other over twenty years later and laugh.
