The prepubescent boy is the boy who has not reached puberty, defined for the male as the time when ejaculation of semen, and with it the capacity of-reproduction, begins. The boy ideally receives some help from older males in understandng this for some bewildering phenomenon. These are most frequently older brothers, but they also can also be teachers, camp counselors, doctors, and we must not forget priests, rabbis, and Islamic religious leaders. Today (2018) the Internet, and with it the access to highly varied and free pornography, has brought the biggest jump ever in child sexual education. (Gay sex columnist Dan Savage says the Internet was invented for the purpose of circulating porn.)

Home pornography was born around 1979, with the commercial launch of the home video recorder, which used cartridges of 1/2" tape in two formats, the triumphant VHS (Video Home System), and the technically superior Beta, used only by the brand Sony, 2 inch and 3/4 inch video recorders are earlier, but they were too expensive for home use and a content industry in those formats never arose, The videodisc (12" discs) was popular in the 1990s, and for a few years it was routine for major mainstream studios to release movies in that format if they were released in VHS.

8 milimeter film was used on a small scale for porn. It required in most cases that the pornographer set up his own film developing facility, as sending it to a commercial lab would mean sure incarceration.
