How to remain cool while being ID'd for porn: a Gen X dad explains

AGE restrictions for online porn are coming in, so we must look to the wisdom of the elders. Top-shelf buyer Martin Bishop explains his ancient art: 

Act natural

Porn is only as awkward as you make it. By pretending nothing could be more normal than confirming your age to watch a milf destroy her stepson’s cock (uncensored), the ordeal will be over before you know it. Only the shame will hang around for decades.

Check the coast is clear

Back in the day you’d linger around the magazine rack until everyone buggered off before grabbing a copy of Big Ones. But the internet is everywhere, so you need to be more vigilant. Check you’re not logged into Facebook or Instagram so no algorithms know about your depravity.

Bundle it with other purchases

Camouflage your porn by purchasing other items at the same time. If you order a bottle of wine from the Tesco website first, maybe the internet will remember you’re old enough when you head over to Pornhub so you can sidestep the humiliation of getting ID’d for nudey films altogether.

Don’t make eye contact

I still remember the judgement on the newsagent’s face as I handed her my ID and a stack of bliff mags with Raw Bubble Butts on top. I see it when I close my eyes at night. Avoid a similar fate by covering your laptop’s webcam with tape, like Mark Zuckerberg does for the same reason.

Use fake ID

In this age of data hacks you’d be a fool to hand over your real name to watch fake-tanned women listlessly shag each other.  Ask local teenage dealers for a fake ID, set up an offshore bank account, and use that as proof of age. You might be breaking international banking law but it’s that or your mum finding out.

The top seven Winter Olympic sports that would instantly kill you

THE Summer and Winter Olympics are pretty similar, except one is running and jumping and throwing and the other is a wasteland of frozen deathtraps. You wouldn’t survive these: 

Figure skating

What if, instead of studs, you put knives on your shoes, went out on ice, then flipped upside down? Then tried to land, in knife shoes, on f**king ice? You’d die and when people found out why they wouldn’t be sympathetic.

Ski jump

Going down that slope at that speed is already suicide. Launching yourself in the air? You deserve everything that’s coming to you, ie the ground, at speed.

Luge

You’ve enjoyed sledging, so going down an ice slide at 90 miles per hour will be just as much fun, yeah? Just check if you have the mental strength to get through watching it on TV first? Thought not.

Skeleton

As above, but going down the 90mph ice slide head-first. As warning, the thing you will shatter irreparably is in the title.

Ice Hockey

You wobbled your way around the rink, holding the side, last time a twat date made you go skating. Now picture yourself mid-ice but there’s a six-foot-infinity Canadian bastard jetting towards you, armed with a large stick and a small rock to fire at your teeth.

Biathlon

Also known as the Finnish Drive-By, this innocently-named sport combines the disciplines of skiing and shooting. Shooting bullets with a rifle while skiing. What could go f**king wrong?

Curling

When a Scottish daughter announces she wants to become a curler, her family holds a funeral for her that day. Thousands lose their lives to curling every year. But the adrenalin rush is so massive it’s worth it.
