Can we talk about porn?

I would most definitely say that it can. When I worked at the used book store, we got in two big boxes of pornographic novels. Super fetishy stuff like fathers molesting daughters, rape porn, etc. Some standard farmer's daughter stuff as well, but all definitely porn.

RStar: Would the stuff here be porn in your opinion? (Thoroughly not safe for work though no pictures (click around enough and you'll find some but mostly it is all text).

What ever happened to giggling over the naked women in National Geographic?

I think the strongest form of porn is written as opposed to visual.


Unlike most men, my own taste in pornography tends to run towards "literature" (if you can call it that). Mere depictions of sex are arousing and all, but I find the situational context that fires the imagination to be far more erotic, arousing and stimulating.

Visual porn could provide that ... but it rarely does. It's mostly (in my admittedly limited experiece) just people fu<king. All well and good, but rather tame compared to the truly pornographic heights that words can achieve ... with no naked bodies in sight.

What happens to your porn when you die?







I no longer have any children running about who might discover my porn stash, or any planned planted porn leaks.

But what about my loved ones post-my-mortem? I don't really want them discovering what a degenerate I was. (I mean, specifically.)


I keep my old-school, physical-realm porn in a suitcase that bears this legend in bold type on the cover:

Yes, this note just makes you want to look inside all the more, but if you wish to honor my memory, you won't do it.
If curiousity should get the better of you, I won't care ('cause, after all, I'm dead), but you'll be sorry you couldn't resist.

Do you think something like that would have the desired deterrent effect? Would you open the case if you found it after my demise?

zapppop says whoever finds it will open the case, but I'm not so sure. And what about my cyber porn that's all over my computer? There's no deterrent message when you boot up my hard drive (insert double entendre here.)

What can be done to protect one's legacy of honor and integrity vis-a-vis our pornography collections? Shouldn't there be some kind of mortuary service that comes in with a paper shredder and computer tools?


I almost want to dispose of all my porn now.


but I'm not dead yet.

Clearly you need to consult a trusts and estates lawyer. Whether you die with or without a will, I doubt that an executor/administrator could simply throw away an asset of the estate such as your porn. Regardless of whether or not there's an estate tax, if you have outstanding debts at death, your porn might have to be sold to pay them.

Well, you could follow Moonliner's advice...

I'd open it.

In regards to the above about written porn, I wonder if there is a difference between gay and straight men as to whether they prefer visual or written porn or if it is purely an individual preference. It seems that most women prefer written porn. Do most gay guys as well?

Considering the plethora of Gay porn, I doubt it. I don't think it's and either or, either. Certainly one of the best things about Penthouse, were the letters. And I agree, with ISM that in most cases the written word is far more "erotic" than the visual image - but, there are trashy porn novels too, that leave me rather limp despite the peppering of variations of the word, "Lacivious" and the addition of extra vowels and exclamation points.

This thread has me thinking about authoring one of those annoying MySpace quizes:

What's your favorite type of porn?
How large is your porn cache?
Do you keep your porn hidden?
Have you given anyone instructions to dispose of your porn in the event that something happens to you?
Does your porn collection include people you know?
Does it include animals?
How about Clowns?
Etc.?
