I like porn, but I need someone to share it with. It’s always been a ‘together’ enjoyment rather than a solitary one.

I have 2 GB if you include the homemade stuff. I’m really picky about what I keep when it comes to downloading, so that part is only about 10 movies and 100 pics.

None. We do have a couple of books that I would label as “erotica”, not porn. (Actual stories, no pics, etc.)

Right now I have two files totalling about 700 MB. I was up to about 13 gigs when I deleted everything in one triumphant moment a couple of months back.

It was getting stale.

None. I’d buy the occasional Playboy when I was single but threw about half of them out when I married and the other half when we had a kid.

I got nuthin,’ unless you count that short vid of the singing penis from some Australian gay film festival that was going around the Internet a few years ago. I find it both hilarious and deeply disturbing.

I have a few clips on the computer and a couple of real VHS tapes (somewhere, I haven’t thought about those in forever) as far as “real” porn goes. I’ve got a couple of books of erotic photography which are risque but I don’t consider porn.

However, I’m an avid collector of “yaoi” manga which are Japanese comics with male relationships. Some are fairly explicit. I probably have about a thousand tankoban (book compilations) and maybe a hundred magazines. I don’t consider them porn but others might.

[QUOTE=Omegaman]  
None. I have a wife. Had some before we met but since we have been together she has been more than enough to fill my every need.  
[/QUOTE]

Wife’s in the room huh?  
As for me, I’m in the library so I can’t check at the moment. Under 10 gigs, probably like 5 or 6. Every once in a while I’ll go download 7 or 8 videos at a time and since I have extra room on my hard drive, why delete them?

Around 300 CDs and 150 DVDs, plus another 80GBs or so sitting on the computer. I’m fairly picky about my porn, so it’s pretty much all speciality/fetish stuff. Watching two people having sex on a bed doesn’t really do much for me.

5.72 GB.

</div>

One story and three extended scenes I wrote myself, two short clips, about a dozen pictures, and one eight-minute video which for some reason is as funny as it is arousing. (probably all the spitting) I thought about making a plea for porn from friends; I did that before for music and ended up with some good stuff.

</div>

About a dozen downloaded clips that together probably don’t exceed 500 Mb, but were too exceptional to pass up. Two rather raunchy dvd’s I keep hidden, and two more mainstream ones my wife bought and we enjoy together. I’ve found that this ‘internet’ thingy, coupled with a broadband access, provides me with enough on demand access to nearly anything I want that it doesn’t make sense to keep much on hand. So to speak.

Gone are the days of the boxes full of glossy mags and clunky VHS tapes. Ahh, technology.

Nothing. Or a whole internet full of it for free. Either way you want to look at it.

I have never had the desire to look at anything even remotely pornographic twice. You saw it, you move on, there is always more of it coming through. Saving porn seems like saving air. If you ever need to break out the stash, you have bigger problems to worry about.  
Oh, and to all the laptop in the toilet crowd: Ugh.

None. Not a bit. And after reading all these responses, I’m beginning to feel like _I’m_ the pervert.

Uh, I guess I’ll have to get going and buy some.

</div>

Lots. Although in my defense, I’ll admit I’m a packrat and tend to keep things so my porn collection has accumulated over the decades. For example, I have a collection of Playboys that goes back into the fifties and is virtually complete from the seventies on. I probably have thirty or forty porn DVDs - but I have hundreds of non-porn DVDs.

Hard to say. Every time I go to count, I get … um … distracted.

True, no laptop, but even if I did have one, I’d be afraid I’d drop it in the tub/toilet.

How big is the internet? And how much of it is free porn?

I don’t have to store any porn as long as I have an internet connection.
