However you want to quantify it: number of videos, inches of magazines (real inches, not “man inches”!) megabytes (terabytes? )of storage…whatever.
And do you think it’s more, less or about the same as other people?
Feel free to answer for “your friend” if you don’t want to answer for yourself.
Me? Nothing at all that’s specifically marketed as porn, although The Earth’s Children series got me through adolescence. So I guess that’s five books, 'though there’s a lot of inventing and walking interspersed with the Good Bits. I suspect that’s rather less than the average bear. Uh, person.
(Inspired by this thread, where several people mention multiple shopping bags full of porn. I found that rather shocking, and now think I might be a bit naive about the whole thing.)
I got two years worth of Playboys from '00 -'01. I used to have a subscription, but there’s better free porn online. I still can’t bring myself to throw the mags out.
I probably have a couple gigs of porn on my computer. I always search for new stuff, but when I find something truely outstanding (which could mean many different things) I save it.
I think I’m pretty normal - judging by what I know of my friends’ stashes.
I’d say more than eight CDs of computer files–everything from erotic stories, early erotic photography, both softcore and surprisingly not so soft! (I love the “French postcard” pictures; the women are so soft and curvy) Those, to fairly straightforward explicit pictures I’ve found online. The Colour Climax stuff from the late 1960s-1970s turns my crank–completely explicit, with pubic hair, and a kind of joyful celebration of sex. (I love the little “stories” that go along with the pictures.) Some MPEGS. Some kinky stuff I like that my husband isn’t interested in.
That’s on CDs. I have a folder on the computer at present, with, let’s see… at least 150 MB.
I have a LOT of erotica in the form of books, at least a good-sized box. Best Women’s Erotica, Mammoth compilations, and so on. Yep. Lots of books.
Three Andrew Blake DVDs.
In my defense, I write smut as a hobby, so research is essential!
Upon scrolling up and seeing Brewha’s comment, I realised I also have a box of older Playboy magazines I bought from another messageboard acquaintance. I don’t know why; I guess I just like naked pretty ladies.
Oh, and to answer the question, I feel I probably have a lot more porn/erotica than my contemporaries. But who knows? I only spill stuff like this on the internet, not in real life.
However much my standard Dell2400 holds. Tapes and what not I tossed when computer porn took off. I honestly think the only reason magazines still exist is because you can’t take a computer in the bathroom.
Bah, there’s folks here with 30+ gigs of the stuff. We just had a thread on this a few weeks ago. Lots of people, IIRC, had lots of porn.
Not me, no sir. The wife found it once. Once.
Uh, I don’t know about all youse, but my laptop = portability (or potty-bility, if you prefer). I don;t watch a lot of porn in the john, but I have been know to watch movies on the laptop whilst soaking in the tub.
No to mention I can watch movies on my treo that I’ve d/l so I guess I could as easily drop pron onto that and watch it in the loo.
Oh, and as far as porn – I have no DVD’s, postcards, nor magazines. I have 2-3 movies on my thumbdrive and thats about it, but I d/l new stuff and delete the old.
I get enough so I really don’t need or watch much porn. Much more fun to make your own.
Savannah you have 150MB of files? Hell, I have movies that big and bigger. I’m subscribed to one site where a 20-30 minute movie may reach up to 400MB. It’s a kind of disturbing trend, as files that huge tend to take forever to download, and they don’t tend to play well. They stall.
I’ve got nearly 30 DVDs and VHS tapes which I think is quite a lot. I now watch most of my porn online from www.aebn.net, especially now with the strong pound vs the dollar. I end up buying about 600 minutes per month on it.
