It was an email linking to a porn site, not that I understood that at the time; I don't actually recall what enticed me to click - I think they referenced "playing in a jungle" and that sounded fun. The text said (roughly, it's been over three decades) "come look at my site! I'm not wearing any clothes!" and linked to a site featuring several scantily clad individuals but, immediately on entry, a lady in high heels and nothing else. I took the email at face value and responded, informing the surely real person sending it that shoes counted as clothes. permalink fedilink source parent
