Disposal of old Porn

[camper joe]

If your community has a recycling bins, just take your old magazines there and leave them. Surely they will be recycle one way or another.

What do you do with your old porn material?
Do you throw it out? Do you give it away? Do you sell it?

I've got mags that I'm super hesitant to list on craigslist for fear of minors trying to get adult material (Or is it even illegal to sell it??)

Digital porn's easy - just delete it.. but what about the hard copies?

I gave all my straight stuff to my straight friends.

Hmmm. . . from a landlord's perspective, I can tell you that German renters who buy porn while staying in my apartments in Barcelona tend to find the most remote holes and crevices in which to push in porn to hide it. The Brits just leave it stacked neatly in a closet for the cleaning lady to deal with. The few French renters I've had throw it all out except the cut out images they leave taped to the walls of the bathrooms/bedrooms and on the TV/VCR/CD entertainment centers. And for some unknown reason, everyone seems to think that all video tapes and CDs will go unnoticed if stuck under a mattress or box springs.

As for me, I have yet to throw any porn out. But I have friends who have asked me to be present upon their demise and ferret away their porn collections so their "loving" families don't have to discover "Uncle Bob's ugly secret." Personally, I think it would do their families some good to sift through Uncle Bob's hobbies.

Get rid of porn ??? ((LOL)) Sacrilege!
Makes me think back to my college days ... while getting settled in my new dorm room, I opened the bottom drawer of the dresser to find a stash of magazines that had thoughtfully been left to me by the previous tenant. Made sure I put them to good use, added to the collection and then made sure to pass them on to the next guy to occupy that room. It's nice to inherit valuables from those who have gone (cum?) before you.:smile:

Ha! My very prim and proper father dropped an entire box full of my nastiest, dirtiest, most explicit gay porn magazines while moving me out of my (single) dorm room at college one fine spring day. When everyone else was moving out of my dorm. Yep, parents everywhere. And their quarantine-the-AIDS-patients-who-all-deserved-what-they-got-anyway kids, too.

He came up the stairs looking as though an alien invasion was imminent. :biggrin1: Yep, thump thump THUMP-ing feet as he ran up the stairs, big staring eyes, red sweaty face, and wobbly voice :biggrin1: as he asked me (in a hushed but intense whisper) not to EVER "make [him] carry anything like that to the car ever again."

Apparently, as I learned from him after I finished literally rolling on the floor with laughter, the box had split and the magazines had gone every which way on the pavement right next to the university chaplain, a real homophobe--who raised both eyebrows to the hairline, excused himself from talking with some truly conservative hetero parents, and said, "Let me help you gather those together, Mr. <NCbear's surname>." :biggrin1:

I wish I'd been there. :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1: I'd have forgotten my own embarrassment in reveling in my father's. :redface::redface::redface: :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1: :tongue::tongue::tongue: :slomo:

NCbear (who thinks that one incident may have helped me get much of my own back for my father becoming more and more absent as I was growing up -- karma's a real bitch sometimes, as I keep finding out :tongue: :slomo

Next trip to the doctors office or dentist office take a few copies and put them in the waiting room. There is never anything worth looking at. Or maybe donate them to a sperm bank for the donors to use to get it up.

This thread made me relive my trauma. A little over a year ago I was moving under a deadline out of my home of 15 years and needed to re-think everything. Over 20 years or so I had amassed an amazing collection of porn, both vintage and current. (It had its own dedicated room.) I would spend whole weekends in Greenwich Village, London and San Francisco looking for specific issues of magazines to complete collections... I had every issue of In Touch and roughly 2,000 other magazines, plus DVDs, videotapes, super8 movies, original photographs from the 1950s-1980's. Christ, I must have spent close to 6 figures and a good chunk of my waking hours amassing it all.

I sold it for $300 to a used porn shop in SF. It must have been fucking Christmas in October for some lucky collectors.

It isnt like you can just wipe the pages clean like you can wipe a dvd so just imagine what is still to sticking them pages.
:yuck:

I'd rather page the $5-10 and get something new personally.

mmmhmm... Leave it to a woman to want something "NEW NEW NEW"
(I couldn't resist :biggrin1::biggrin1

Not everybody wanks on their books. If it had stains on it...I'd throw it out, and surely someone else wouldn't try to re-sell it either.

Kindling.

Total empathy for you! I can't really compete, but I did dump hundreds of vintage porn videos from the 80's and 90's into a dumpster in Santa Ana. All were Peter North, mostly obscure, difficult to find stuff.

Also, hundreds of scenes in homemade compilations of really rare stuff.

And a whole bunch of vids starring Yours Truly--mostly j/o back when I could really ejaculate like a superhero. And a few vids with a horny nymph who brought out the best in me.

Doh doh doh.
