Digital porn
Magazines and such
Both digital and magazines
No porn stash for me, thanks!
Yes, another insufferable poll about something naughty. Do you have a stash of porn?
I am not even sure why I am asking, but I just think it interesting how things have changed. When I was a kid, we knew were my dad and one of my uncles hid Playboy magazines and it was huge (Dad had an old brown bag full of magazines, hidden in the hatchback of his Gremlin for a few months one summer, and my uncle kept an issue of Playboy under a cusion of the love seat in his living room). These days I suppose everything is digital, including stashes of porn. So do you have one? Do you have an "analog" stash of magazines and VHS? Do you refuse to own any porn? If so, why? Moral compunction? Wife won't let you?
Do tell!

Wait, this poll is anonymous, right? Whew. Note to parents: there is a 5/7 chance I have no porn.

The Internet Is My Backing Store
No need for a stash.
Used to have a sizeable digital repository. As soon as the first of the Young Lasses Gravy came to pass, those electrons were retasked. I operate under the assumption that they'll get their hands on anything and everything I have. Little ones just shouldn't be exposed to that stuff.
Like Rimbo, I have no need for a stash. The internet is full of free stuff that changes constantly, why bother saving any of it? What's so great about looking at the same naked chick over and over again? I'm married, I got that going on already.
If you're smart you can even set your browser so that there's no incriminating evidence left behind for the wife and kidlets to discover. God bless Al Gore for inventing the Internets!
I have a pile of pictures and smaller pile of videos from Usenet sweeps, but I've probably only actually seen a small fraction of them all. It's just part of my 'digital packratitis'. :(
I just started receiving Playboy magazine so my son can take part in the fine tradition of finding the stash in the attic when he comes of age. :)
The wife approved because it was only 10 bucks a year.
I thought she got all pissed off when the first issue actually arrived.
I have a terabyte+ file server. I've got lots of junk on it. Some of it might even cater to prurient interests.
She did because I didn't tell her before hand I ordered it. Then she read through the issue and settled down once she found her pre-conceived notion was wrong, much like the "strip club" notion she had. Then I told her my stash plan, and said "would you rather him find all the videos we have?"Originally Posted by Roger Wong
Edit for Roger's stealth edit: You need to upgrade that so you can dedicate more space to "SIMG2" type adventures.
Ooo. That's a good idea. A honey pot of "hidden" mild stuff to throw him off the track of the REAL stuff. Better for him to to think all the porn belongs to daddy rather than find out some of it is mommy's. :)
It's not a stealth edit. It's just-in-time posting! I'll upgrade later this year. I need to reduce the number of physical drives on the RAID-5 array, and the recent increases in hard drive capacities will let me do that.
What's with the note to parents? Are you dating teenagers? Trying to get some traction with a babysitting career?Originally Posted by Rywill
So far we have 9 liars.
Most porn sucks. When you find something that does it for you, it only makes sense to save it. I have a fairly large stash. And I'm married. My wife likes looking at it when I'm not home. Heh.
He'll find those too. But it'll be that much more of a secret triumph for him when he does.Originally Posted by CounterMeasure

My own parents. Not that they are likely to be reading this. Come to think of it, when I was first pushing them to get online, my dad's reaction was "Well the internet is just email and porn" (seriously). So it's like the Circle of Life.Originally Posted by Bullhajj
Incidentally, after much thought, I went ahead and posted "no porn stash for me," for the reason stated above: If you have a constant internet connection, you have no need for a stash.
I would say that your poll choice was incorrect. The internet *is* your stash, so you should have selected digital. It's unfortunate that the poll wording is such it infers all porn consumers go out of their way to seek out and collect pornography.
Depends if the videos star mom and dad. If so, that's pretty huge yuck factor to temper the find. :)Originally Posted by Drastic
Ha, never occurred to me! Probably because you don't post under your own name like Ben Sones or Tom Chick. I don't expect people who use avatars don't worry about their parents or boss.Originally Posted by Rywill
This poll may suffer for that reason.
Actually, upon still further reflection:
The biggest problem I have with porn is that it falls under the 99% rule ("99% of everything is crap"). The most common problem with porn is when the participants are just going through the motions. They're following a schedule, not flowing with the rush of hormones and passions. Worse still, the camera is clinical, capturing the details of entry (not to mention the pimples and scars), rather than focusing on the actual eroticism of two (or more) people's bodies interacting.
Once in a while, you'll see two (or more) people really into each other, and the camera will capture the eyes and hands as well as (or instead of) the penetration of orifices, and it's magic. That's more erotic than the actual act itself, and what that act is isn't so important.
But that shit is rare, even more rare than even "99% of everything is crap" would explain.
So really, the biggest reason I don't keep any porn is that it's not worth keeping.
Good point. I am not really interested in consumers, unless you are saving the shit too. I am pretty sure Dad hit a few strip joints, but none of that matters unless he brings it home for his kids to find. Once my brothers found a sweaty red dildo, stuffed in a shoebox in the back of my Dad's car. I was trying to peer into the box to see what they found and my oldest brother took it out and bonked me over the head with it. I grabbed it to see what it was and got the shock of my life.Originally Posted by Roger Wong
Rimbo, you may need to look a little harder.
What the hell happend to the ElGuapo post about Hairy Ron Jermey! That shit was a classic and I was waiting for a good response but now the post is gone. I hate what that happens.
Do kids even bother to look for "dad's stash" anymore? With porn being so prevalent on the internet and kids being what they are, I'd think it more likely for dad to find juniors digital stash.
Or 9 people so perverted they don't know what's legal to keep around?Originally Posted by Dirt
(Well, more than 9 now!)
Very good point. Tide has turned, so to speak.Originally Posted by Slainte Mhath
This is only true if you have no preferences when it comes to women/sex and I find that hard to believe.Incidentally, after much thought, I went ahead and posted "no porn stash for me," for the reason stated above: If you have a constant internet connection, you have no need for a stash.
This would have been better if you asked how many gigs we had at present.
