How much is enough? I want to ask you guys a couple of questions I ask myself all the time, which are: 1)Are you actually going to make use of all this porn you're downloading? and 2)Can you, in theory, reach a point where you have obtained enough porn? We all know what porn is essentially for. We all have pet monkeys which, for some reason, need to be punished on a regular basis. But seriously, how much material does one person need in order to keep his or her monkey satisfactorily punished? How bad can one monkey be? Obviously porn is also good for stimulating actual relationships, and I don't mean to overlook or downplay that. I think that I collect porn - mostly pictures and ninety percent softcore, though I'm into well-done hardcore and am developing more of an interest in video - because instinctually I am a higher-order primate (well, slightly higher-order anyway) who is keen on hunting and gathering things I need and storing up for the future. In the back of my mind is the knowledge that everything can come tumbling down and I really don't want to be short on necessities when the lean season comes. In other words, I think the act of collecting this stuff is satisfactory on a deep, primal level all by itself and is pleasurable even if a huge percentage of the stuff I'm collecting is stored away and forgotten forever. When I got married at thirty-two I gave away all my videos and threw all my glossy, paper girlfriends away. It sucked royally, but at the same time it gave me a chance to build up another stock-pile, which, as it turns out, I need more than ever now that I'm divorced (and the divorce had nothing to do with porn, by the way, as my ex liked to watch porn almost as much as I did). I now have much more material than I can possibly use, nor do I even worry about ever using it. The important thing is to keep gathering it up. I have to confess one other thing. I'm older now and maybe a bit jaded, but I hardly ever feel the desire to discipline the chimp while I'm downloading or surfing sites. I take care of all that later, before I go to sleep. There's no doubt, however, that the material I view and collect is a major contributor to getting the job done. If it weren't, I don't suppose I'd even bother collecting it. Anyway, while downloading and feeding my hobby I'm too busy filing, naming, re-naming, clicking, smoking, etc, to even notice the monkey. Sometimes it's an awful lot like work. Is this unusual? Anybody have any thoughts? You know what I hate the most about selfish people? It's that they don't think enough about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! | |

After a time, I always edit. But I am a lot more interested in photographs than videos, so I have a lot more room to spare and can take my time. The videos I do have are off computer and consist mostly of the classics. | |

1)Are you actually going to make use of all this porn you're downloading? I'm a member of Videosz and they currently give an average of 25 scenes a day. Way too much to download it all. I could easily download it all ofcourse, but then, there's no time to watch them anyways. And so I have become really picky about what to download and usually end up with just 1 or 2 scenes a day. As for your question, I really watch everything I download. Sometimes I delete the scene and the good scenes are marked for burning to DVD. 2)Can you, in theory, reach a point where you have obtained enough porn? No, I found that even good scenes become boring after watching them too often and I really want to see somthing new every now and then. | |

I only have 2.4 terabytes and that's the stuff I want to keep...I also happen to have approx 600 non-porn DVDs (Shop/Internet purchases)...to answer your questions... 1) Use it? Like any good chef in his kitchen, I've checked the flavour of my soup during the cooking process...so technically the act of downloading, checking it (F.FWD) to rate it is technically using it. And those highest ratings and favorites do get a frequent dust off... 2) obtained enough porn? Never...even after the last breath I breathe...I'm learning how to channel rigor mortis into my pelvis so I leave this world happy 3) We all know what porn is essentially for. Yep. I've read that manual 4) We all have pet monkeys which, for some reason, need to be punished on a regular basis. Yep. Who says testing on animals is cruel? 5) how much material does one person need in order to keep his or her monkey satisfactorily punished? more than i currently have, a lot more...and hers don't have monkeys...if they did he wouldn't need his 6) How bad can one monkey be? bad enough to be teased and then punished... 7) Obviously porn is also good for stimulating actual relationships, and I don't mean to overlook or downplay that. My wife doesn't know about my monkey tricks... 8) I think that I collect porn / I am a higher-order primate keen on hunting and gathering things I need and storing up for the future. I too enjoy planning for my Porn Hibernation...although during mine, I will not be letting my monkey go to sleep. 9) In the back of my mind is the knowledge that everything can come tumbling down and I really don't want to be short on necessities when the lean season comes. Wise man. 10) collecting this stuff is satisfactory on a deep, primal level all by itself and is pleasurable even if a huge percentage of the stuff I'm collecting is stored away and forgotten forever. Budweiser reply...True True... 11) When I got married at thirty-two I gave away all my videos and threw all my glossy, paper girlfriends away. It sucked royally.. Ditto...but I gave my to a friend who kept lending it back to me...Hooray!! 12) I'm divorced (and the divorce had nothing to do with porn, by the way, as my ex liked to watch porn almost as much as I did). I now have much more material than I can possibly use, nor do I even worry about ever using it. The important thing is to keep gathering it up. You don't have to be divorced to feel like this. I'm not and I can relate to this 100%...monkeys need other forms of stimulation 13) I have to confess one other thing. I'm older now and maybe a bit jaded, but I hardly ever feel the desire to discipline the chimp while I'm downloading or surfing sites. Careful...never neglect your monkey otherwise they fall out of the tree... 14) I take care of all that later, before I go to sleep. There's no doubt, however, that the material I view and collect is a major contributor to getting the job done. If it weren't, I don't suppose I'd even bother collecting it. Anyway, while downloading and feeding my hobby I'm too busy filing, naming, re-naming, clicking, smoking, etc, to even notice the monkey. Sometimes it's an awful lot like work. Is this unusual? Freud would be proud of you...Keep up the natural basic instincts to keep your monkey trained for any dance...I do. Beautiful Girls Covered in Pearls and No Oysters in Sight | |

Like JD1961, I also gravitate more towards the photographic so my collection is not a huge, in terms of gigs, as some others. I regularly go back and edit stuff and clean out the "less worthy" material as time goes by. Speaking of feeding your chimp, of which my avatar strongly approves, I think the biggest "primal" satisfaction a lot of us get is from seeing something new that we didn't already have. When you start getting bored with the "new experience" I think you'll finally have hit the proverbial wall and will find yourself backing off from the porn thing at least for a while. I've hit the wall once before and strayed back after about 6 months. Will it happen again? | |

Confucious says... ...the water will never taste too sweet because the glass keeps getting bigger and bigger... okay it wasn't Confucious, it was me...but the point is, I think your point is true to the hunt, it is knowing that eventually you will find something new and that ignites your interest...so you keep going...digging for Gems...

There's that satiation factor again. One keeps hunting for the new and different and after a while the hunt becomes just as important as one's ever growing library of porn. There's tons of material on my extra hard drive that I haven't even looked at yet .. and still I keep hunting for more ... and especially for different. | |

Pornography has the unfortunate stigma of being treated like a traditional narcotics vice - alcohol, drugs or whatever. In reality it is just an offshoot of normal entertainment - be it books, magazines, movies and so on. Asking if a heroin addict can stockpile "enough" heroin is an easy "Yes". Fill a couple vats with it and you've got an easy lifetime's supply. Asking a book or movie lover if they can stockpile enough content is of course a "No". The problem is that tastes change and new content is always coming out. There will always be new stories, spectacles and events that people want to experience (watch, listen, read, et cetera). The same is for porn - people read it, look at it, watch it, some even listen to it. Just like a traditional media collection - you trim it down from time to time due to space restrictions but you'd keep it all if you could. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Woups.... I wondered that myself several times. When I'm getting bored by the same old stuff, I sometimes get fed up. But yup, it's like narcotics - and we have this promising author and a should-be winner of the next Pulitzer-price by the pseudonym of Toadsith - I agree with King - I can only second that post, too.

WWW: how much material does one person need in order to keep his or her monkey satisfactorily punished? JBDICK: more than i currently have, a lot more...and hers don't have monkeys...if they did he wouldn't need his Aye. I was trying to be politically correct, knowing there are females in these waters. Perhaps I should have made mention of that well-known wood-gnawing, nut-cracking builder of dams.... What's the name of that varmint again? You know what I hate the most about selfish people? It's that they don't think enough about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! | |

So far most people would say my collection is huge. Too bad I dont hear that about other things! But the simple fact is that there is never enough. For as long as some nice looking girl is willing to make videos for us there will always be more to acquire and the urge to go and get it. I am sure when i die someone is going to absolutely shit themselves when they see how much I have collected. I have alot now, but imagine another 60 years or so! Since the supply of porn girls does not seem to be slowing down I sure can not see myself slowing down for quite some time. Just hope storage gets cheaper!

the easiest way to understand why enough is never enough is the principle of consumables and supply and demand We are consumers in a consumer based market...with an appetite...and like eating 3 balanced meals a day...we need to consume Porn to satisfy a primal hunger... so the question is not so much...How much is enough? it's more about... How much do you need to keep? Beautiful Girls Covered in Pearls and No Oysters in Sight | |

Jb. I say to get as fat off of porn as you can! Keep on "eating" it. You gotta keep as much as you can. You have already gone through the trouble of downloading it. Besides, you never know when your tastes might change and you will wish you had kept that screwed up video of three midgets, two donkeys, and the transsexual! Supply and demand...I have a huge demand, so thankfully there is a pretty good supply so far. We just need more of the smaller niche sites to grow. It sucks when you really want to see something that is less than normal and they only place that has it down not update more than once a decade.

badandy400 Yep...my appetite is very hearty...and I try to never get rid...I've done that too many times in the past and regretted it. I have some great stuff on German TV Series TuttiFrutti, Patricia Ford (including some VHS converted to Vid Hot Bodies Strip shows from the states), Kascha Papillon and Solange and got rid, and have never been abled to find it again...and on the subject of niches...I agree...they are the new diet...and allows you to have a higher surf/download/keep ratio...quite often I'll have to surf 10's of GB to find a new gem...

It seems you may happened to have seen some scary religious /political antiporn site it seems everything or anything is either illegal, a sin or unhealthy. sin from the religious sites and that in fact las vegas is called sin city and some porn stars use sin or some form of it as their last names. illegal from politics which they probably got from the religious and unhealthy because of aids and stds, in fact one former porn star because of scary porn health issues she said she got some sex disease from it from years ago started an antiporn website and some porn stars quit because maily it was because of health issues (because they considered porn to be unhealty with all the sex diseases, in fact one of them had a form of the name sin in their last name, like they say too much of any thing is not a good thing. it seems like you can't do any thing without poeople saying it is a sin. illegal. unhealthy or not a good thing. I guess porn should be considered an extreme sport because there seems to be a dangerous element to it. a lot of people probably throw away their porn becaus it is probably out dated or they get uninterested in certain porn stars just like they do certain celebrities and build a new collection with newer collection of porn stars. | |

I rarely have a night where I do not download porn. I just download videos on sites so I feel I get my monies worth. I admit I rarely watch the same video more then once or twice. I just feel like I want to see new stuff. I also don't want to delete my old porn because then I feel as I wasted a membership for nothing. So maybe I have a slight addiction but thats better then being sexually promiscuous or taking drugs and what not. You don't get stds and you don't get into any legal or health trouble from porn. I can never have to much porn, there are still so many sites I want to eventually see. I'm so far from having as much porn as jbdick however, but I will get there. | |

1)Are you actually going to make use of all this porn you're downloading? Of course I will never make "use" of all this porn. It would probably kill me. But, I do make a habit occasionally to go through my collection and review it. Oh, the fond memories that come back. It is hard for me to beleive sometimes when I see the size of my collection that I never keep anything that will not get me off. 2)Can you, in theory, reach a point where you have obtained enough porn? If you collect it for the sole purpose of using it as masturbation fodder then yes. But if you are a collector then you want it all. Isn't that what other collectors do? You want all the baseball cards ever made, right? So, as soon as I have all the porn ever made, I will quit. And just as a sidebar that others have touched on. You never know when something crazy will happen and our beloved internet porn will go away. Then it will pay to be prepared. | |
