Tons of it on the hard drive. I’ve also got a bookcase full of pornographic comic books. I tossed most of the magazines and video tapes years back, aside from a few of the more exceptional ones. ---

[QUOTE=Lionne] Not one picture, magazine, book or video. I just use my imagination. [/QUOTE] Imagination? That sure is a funny name you call your hand. ---

I have about a dozen CD-ROMs of JPGs, maybe half a dozen VHS tapes (no DVDs) and about two dozen magazines. ---

About a dozen magazines, I thought I only had 2 but came across about 10 more when packing to move. I think 5 VCR tapes and 1 DVD. I don’t keep any porn on my computer. ---

Couple of laserdiscs, couple of DVDs, about 13 Gb in my ‘not porn’ folder. I used to think I had a lot until I read this thread. 80 Gb? Damn. ---

About 200 meg on the hard-drive and 1 DVD somewhere around here. I tend to only look at the short, free-clips and save anything that is truly interesting. I probably LOOK at far more than 200 meg on a weekly basis. Why are you looking at me that way? What? Stop it! Okay, on a daily basis… _shame_ ---

About half a dozen Playboys. I buy ones that I remember from my youth. It’s kind of neat to see the image again even though it was burned into my brain. I have 1 (playboy) DVD and 1 DVD that is only kind of porn. I have a few other DVDs that are not porn but I only bought them for erotic reasons. I never watch the complete movie, I just jump to my favorite scene. I have no idea how much hard drive space is devoted to porn. ---

About 69 gigs on the hard drive, 50-odd CDs, and some printed stuff. I’m a bit of a pack rat, especially with stuff that doesn’t take up much physical space. ---

[QUOTE=Snarky\_Kong] 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? [/QUOTE] I’m at work. I ain’t lying dog. 🆒 Even when I do the deed I think of her. We’ve been married quite a while. ---

None. I sure do my share of browsing, but my wife despises the stuff, so I browse and make sure I clean up after. (The files too.) ---

[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] Shhh! Dammit **Omegaman** you’re making the rest of us look bad. I have about eight DVDs that have a collection of dust on the right now. But that’s only because me and my computer are in a serious relationship. She gets very insecure when I look at other porn outlets. [strokes the computer monitor] _That’s right baby. You’re the only one for me._ If anybody needs me I’ll be curled up in the fetal position crying myself to sleep over there in the corner. ---

If you’re talking about my harddrive (hehheh. I said hard drive) It’s basically self made. I like self portraits. Up to and including my SO so now I’ve got his reciprocation. Porn, like charity, begins at home. Which also includes the CDs he burned for me from hogtied .com (about as not for work safe as you can get). That and some books. But mostly I surf, I look, I get inspired…and I’ll be in my bunk. I don’t need to keep it. ---

I believe at last count it was something in the general neighborhood of 100,000 photos altogether, and several hundred films. 😃 ---

I have two Playboys, one from 2000, and a newer one with Amanda Beard in it. Plus a couple of sex books with naughty pictures in it. Used to have a couple of videos, but lost them to the ex. ---

On my personal PC, none. But if we are including the file server me and a few buddies set up, 2.7 Terrabytes. But I assume some of those are repeats, it is too much to actually watch all of it. ---

> [@Sapo](#): > > 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. Actually, I’m the same way. I get myself primed for the experience, so to speak, by downloading porn. Then when I can’t take it anymore I watch some of my collection–but nowhere near as much as I’ve downloaded–and then delete that. My consumption just hasn’t caught up to my collection, and it probably won’t for a loooooong time. Not to mention that if I download a full video on BitTorrent, I keep it around until my ratio is 1:1 _and_ I’m bored of it. So that accounts for about 2 GB of it right now. > [@betenoir](#): > > If you’re talking about my harddrive (hehheh. I said hard drive) It’s basically self made. I like self portraits.

I have about 500GB, but I’m a porn packrat. 475GB could go and I wouldn’t care in the least. Make that 450GB. ---
