I'm pretty sure my own 6 year old does not know what porn is. For myself, I guess I learned about it around 10-12 years of age or so? I was definitely exposed to it way earlier (younger than 5) when I found some magazines in a wooded area, but I didn't understand what it was.
The town / area where I spent most of my childhood is riddled with old german WW2 bunkers. Kids, mostly young boys, used to use those bunkers as hangouts and finding racy magazines lying around in them was fairly common occurrence when exploring.
A buddy of mine would steal porn mags at the local gas station and hide a stash of them under a big rock a few hundred meters from his parents' house. His parents also had cable TV and while porn was censored in Norway with the screen just going black whenever it was on, he managed to bypass by switching to danish subtitles so he could record porn on VHS. So he snuck about the house at night time to do that and some of the VHS tapes got passed around.
All that hard work back in the day just to get a hold of some porn. Once, a group of us collected a dumb amount of bottles that we used to buy a porno mag (bottles returned to stores in exchange for money/things), but we were late teenagers and I guess it was more of a comedy stunt.
