How to dispose of a porn stash?

nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

White Elephant Exchange?

I’d feel “dirty” jacking off to someone else’s porn. Especialy if they were dead.

That’s just wrong man.

You know that red plastic bin with the silhouette of a naked lady that the city issued you when you moved in?

A funny recent story. I’m 26 and haven’t lived at home since high school. My parents asked me to house-sit for them while they spent a week and a half in Colorado. Sure, sounds funny. Mini-vacation while still at work.

For the life of me I could not masturbate in my parents house. I did it for years when I was a kid, but returning, nuh uh, no way. There just seemed to be something dirty to it. Now that it was my parents place and not my own.

So I understand your sentiments.

And if that was TMI, sorry, but it’s a thread about porn.

:: lightbulb::
I loved nature as a kid and sometimes stumbled upon some porn mags. I was too young and a girl, so I just left them there, but I always wondered how they got there. So that’s another mystery cleared up for me!

And as we know, the Internet is for porn!

(Borderline NSFW, depending on where you work.)

I’ve disposed of my porn stash a few times, then just eventually create a new one. Here’s what I do- split it into a number of smallish piles that each fit into a plastic shopping/grocery store bags. Use a few bags for each pile so nothing shows through. Over the course of a few days, one by one drop a bag into a dumpster, on the sly. I like to split it up as I think it attracts less attention than one big trash bag, or a bunch of little bags dumped all at the same time.

It’s also a good way to get rid of plastic shopping bags. I think those things multiply when I’m not watching.

Isn’t feeling dirty kind of the point?

A few months back, I was staying in a hotel and had to get rid of a few magazines. I couldn’t just leave them in the room for the housekeeper to dispose of, as I have a sort of weird relationship to her. (I work with her mother. In fact, sometimes the mother does the housekeeping.) I had to wait for the shops to open up, then go to one and buy a souvenier in a magazine-sized opaque bag, go back to my room, make the switch, go back out, and seek a public trash barrel. It was quite the covert op.

If the local Boy Scouts still conduct paper drives, you could really make some kids’ day by including your magazines in with your old newspapers. From experience, I can assure you that they have eagle eyes for spotting porn amidst the pulp.

I was thinking gasoline and a kitchen match, but your idea is so much classier.

The usual method is to put it between the mattress and the box spring. Since they probably don’t flip the mattresses every day, you have plausible deniability.

I would like to point out that there is another thread titled “Boy playing with matches started US fire.” :dubious:

Understand that the idea of a ‘Porn Buddy’ was, at least for me, first seen on the british sitcom Coupling. In it, Jeff, the somewhat sex-obsessed one, explains the idea to a woman, who says, “So, you destroy all his sex mags?” (or something to that effect, I don’t remember the exact quote)
“Not destroy!” Jeff leers, “Remove! That way, you’ve lost a friend, but you’ve gained a ton of porn, so it’s not all bad!”

OTOH, I helped a friend move a few years back who was, along with his wife, moving into the softcore end of things. Whilst moving them, he simply carried out four curb-sized garbage cans full of adult material. He told us if we wanted anything he was trashing during the move (not just the porn) we were welcome to it, but, y’know, there’s something really low-class about grabbing pics of a guy’s wife while he’s right there…
Later on, one of the fair-weather friends who didn’t come to help with the move said, “You… Threw out… That much porn?!” He was utterly bowled over by the idea. :slight_smile:

I just took all of mine to the city dump. Backed the mini-van up to the dumpsters, and shoved it all out. I didn’t pay that much attention to anyone else as it was about the 4th trip I had taken that day (not all porn ya pervs), but I did notice that on the very next trip, that dumpster had been removed and emptied. :slight_smile:

Our VCR finally died and I’m not about to go buy another one just for, you know, so I filled up a large shopping bag, the nice kind from the upscale department stores with the two handles with about 50 or so videos. I placed it in the garbage room in the basement of our apartment complex, but not in the dumpster. On the next trip down it was gone.

Jackpot.

Heh. My brother had a heart attack last year and was incapacitated while my parents and I went to his apartment to stay. There was only one porno DVD, off by itself in a cabinet. I tried to hide it from Mom. But her job in the clean-up effort was sorting his DVDs, and “Super Hot Blow Jobs” or whatever just got filed with all the rest of them.

Does the Salvation Army have an official stance with regards to porn?

My vote for disposal is a dumpster. Ive dropped EPIC amounts of stuff (not porn, actually, cleaning up from parties) in to dumpsters all at once. Once I had like 7 bags of assorted bottles and cans, and just slung them one by one in to the dumpster behind the library at night, didn’t attract a whit of attention the whole time.

Well, sometimes the ‘porn stash’ is more than just porn. I would definitely keep the porn for myself but I don’t see me using the second hand “Fist of Fury” that I snagged from my best friends deathbead. Apartment dumpster.

My mother’s instructions upon my cousin’s death is to take the bag from the closet and fling it into the Tennessee River. Must remember to include rocks…
