Having a device in your pocket that you take everywhere with no stigma to being seen with it yet it has unlimited access to any genre of porn you can think of is hardly comparable to finding a 90s porn mag in a bush from time to time, so you can't really say this has been happening forever.

Erotic novels have been discreet for a while. It's also not been usual to have a laptop in public since the 90s. There are definitely pictures of people perusing porn on trains (visible in reflections).

Briefcases were also a thing as have been strip clubs since forever. Quick access to porn hasn't been a problem since the printing press was invented.

The difference is the volume and the lack of friction to access, not that these things weren't possible. Physically getting into a strip club or having to look the newsagent in the eye as you purchase a porn mag are much higher barriers to access than there are currently.
