About five erotic comics.

They’re the first porn I actually liked and dared to buy for myself. I occasionally buy more now, but I throw out the ones I like least so I can still keep them in my nightstand drawer, hidden under the hot water bottle. Gotta build in some barriers in case the cleaning lady decides to open that drawer.

I’ve been trying to process this myself. I mean, I have some pictures of myself, but they are not personally thrilling. They’re for other people. Maybe **betenoir** is really hot, really narcissistic, or both. 😃

I only have a couple [yottabytes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yottabyte) of mostly rape/scat and electrostimulation play.

Nothin atypical.

I just said I didn’t have porn. If I said I didn’t sharpen the stinger, then I would be lying. What **Sapo** said is true. Why save it, it’s everywhere. Movies, cable television I run across it all the time, seeing it without really seeing it at all. That’s kind of strange when you think about it. When I was a kid a porno mag was like treasure, one of the gang would get one, we would all meet up and ooh and ahhh, checking it out, talking about what we would do. Funny stuff. I spent half of my twentys in topless bars thinking I was living the life. I still see the beauty in other women but I don’t lust after them. I have all I need in my wife. Hope that wasn’t TMI.

When I was in HS and living at home I had 15-20 CDs full because I couldn’t leave the stuff on the computer. Now that I’m an adult computer porn is totally disposable to me unless I find something I REALLY like. I probably have 10 gigs or so now, but only because I haven’t cleaned it up in awhile.

Hehhehheh. Very funny. No, I meant if you look on my computer, there’s a buch of porn I made myself. Which I send to my online sutiors to drive them into a frenzy of unbridled lust (including my SO who I met online and resulted my driving him into a frenzy of unbridled lust in person, so it seems to work).

I jill of to their responses to my pictures. And to the pictures they (mostly my SO) send in response. (TMI…early in our online relationship said SO sent me a particulaly…vunerable pic of himself. It was the first time I told him I loved him :).)

Damn if “laxed its stance” doesn’t sound like a euphamism _for_ masturbation.

I have about 70-80 GB on two computers (i don’t _think_ my laptop has much, at most one or two gigs since it has a small 30 GB harddrive.) It’s a mish mash of lots of different things, from just random people going to it, to big name porn stars, to celebrity sex tapes (yes, I have the Paris HIlton video, I watched it once, was like “eh, I’ve seen worse” and looked for more porn. I just never delete things), to lots of amateur/homemade pictures/videos (I’m willing to look at what I consider less attractive people if it looks like it’s REAL people, ie, a girlfriend making a video of herself for her boyfriend. I guess in the end’s the boyfriend is a douche for putting it online, but that’s something you have to consider when you make a video of that nature.) Not a lot of what I would consider “fetish” stuff, that is to say, almost no BDSM, or big kink things like leather/pregnant (none of that, actually. Ick.)/feet (that either…double ick.)/whatever.

I also have one actual Playboy, the one with Vida Guerra in it.

Three old “College Girls” collections by Playboy and two old VHS tapes of shoddy picture quality which only exist because I haven’t tossed them yet. There’s a handful of saved jpg’s on my hard drive but not really much – as has been said, if I want to look at boobs, it takes all of three seconds on the 'net to turn some up. There’s no real purpose in my squirreling pictures away. Even the old photos on my hard drive are mainly from my 56k modem days when it actually took time to sift through the trash and find things worth looking at.

My pr0n size = however big a 50GB partition on a standard hard drive is.

I don’t have anything physical (any more.)

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s 50 GB. 😛

(And before anyone says it, yes I know the difference between the size we are told (which is in decimal) compared to the actual amount of space (which is in binary.))

36.8 GB in the main folder. Another 27.6 GBs in my torrent folder (didn’t think I had that many but I guess I have a couple of complete site rips).

…Carry the one…

**64.4 GB**

Honestly, it gets to be more of a hobby after a while. 😛
