(That is a rhetorical question, but I'll still be interested in the answers!!! I also know what a Giggle-Bite is, and they're real fun )

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Well, I guess I am sic too. I have an external drive that is at 300 gigs plus and quite a bit of this is old old material before I got to the site IFM. I am more into observing the erotica of women in honest sexual bliss. I think the old stuff is there because I paid for it or used a downloader and find it hard to part with. IFM has a sweet taste to it so now I am more attracted to sites that beautify women and their erotic splender.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Hooray, you're back Desertgirl! Richard and I were just remarking upon how very much we've missed you. I hope you've got a good excuse.

Yeah, great to see you around again Desertgirl

I know what you mean about too much work, for a year I worked at a busy printing company in "production" (factory job) where we had to work mandatory 12 hr. shifts 6 days a week. I literally had no time for anyone or anything else. I used all of my down time just to decompress. I remember one day I realized that I had just lost a year of my life to work. I walked into the production manager's office the next day and quit. Now, I just try to strike the right kind of balance in my life.

...my friend (known to us here as Burlesque) was winding me up.

I've wondered where Burlesque went to, it's been a while. Polarchill too.

BTW, I have 17.13 GB of porn on an external hard drive, and counting. Much more as soon as I join ISM, and re-join BA.

Nowaysis, I am impressed! May your collection grow and grow.

Ehrm.. well, actually, I meant it was a quite small number, this being because I've just bought this computer, so I haven't had time to download very much.

(All the stuff on my old computer is of course still there, plus the vast expanses of the internet.)

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Just getting to this question now. I'll have to check since the amount changes on a semi-regular basis (I download *every* IFM video and every AW video where someone has an orgasm. lol...sorry about the bandwidth)

Having just downloaded Singular and loose end 48 the total comes to...about 120 gigs.

That total consists virtually entirely of IFM videos and AW videos (IMs, T3s, and any solo videos with an orgasm). I store them on an external hard drive so they are handy for whatever I feel like watching at any given time.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

a total of about 45 gigs divided into 4 sections.

-IFM, naturally!  15 gigs so far.
-Bubblegirls - mainly because this guy has great technique and everytime I've used his style of clitoral/vaginal stimulation, women have gushed (some literally) over recieving the "best handjob ever" (actually said by one girlfriend) 15 gigs so far.
-Cybernet - Very enjoyable bondage. 10 gigs so far
-Random - random PR0NZ that catch my interest for a moment, then is forgotten about for a while.  About 5 gigs

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

well, when I read the question, I realized I didn't know, so plugged in the pocket drive where most of my files live, and kablow!!  ~50gB!! prob 95% is video, takes a lot of room, and prob 95% of that is from the stars in the Aussie constellation (that would be IFM, AW, ISM, GOW). the drive holds 120 gB so there hasn't been any pressure (yet!) to start dumping any.

What's GOW?   THX in advance.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Seems that besides from bobby, I have the biggest collection. But I have collected in many years.

Currently I am cleaning out things I don't want any more. So I don't have the exact total GB.

But I estimate that I have about 18 GB with pictures and 1.2 TB with videos.

Yeah, I know that I am a porn addict

102gb that needs sorting out (most of it will be deleted to be honest and this includes my BA and IFM collections that are yet to be moved to my external drive.)

I wonder how much is too much.....

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Can't give you a number. I haven't computed it all up but it's not much and it's all from IFM. IFM is like Levi's, oysters on the half-shell, coffee and Glenfiddich.
Once you've found perfection, no point in looking further. Just my opinion.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Some four years later (my, how time flies!), my tally is 14,6 gig on the internal harddrive, and all that is the few videos I've downloaded from here since I reopened my subscription last week. Add to that the stuff on my external drive, 107,5 gig, and we're just over 122 gigs.

Most of it is BA and IFM, still, but the numbers will of course skew as new content is downloaded, since video files take up more and more space as the quality gets better.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

I don't understand the interest in the quantity of smut people save.  It's just a number, right?  Is there something I'm missing here?  Are people interested because there's some underlying insecurity? 

I don't care how much smut my friends and lovers have on their computers, but I do have a dirty passion for finding where they specifically keep porn on their computers, under what tricky folder names (or blatant and honest names: mine's just "smut" or, after I got a new laptop, "newer smut") and, if there's a lot, how they actually file it.  I think all of that's far more interesting and telling than just a number.

My ex had this almost reflex action of saving all the smut he viewed and filing it.  Often, he would never watch those videos again, but he found the process of saving and filing soothing.  There are some underlying mental health issues that go along with all of that, but I found it equal parts weird and endearing - years and years of smut, almost always never viewed.  Later, I realised that as you went back, his smut viewing changed from girlfriend to girlfriend - his wank fodder choices were linked with whoever he was fucking at the time and he would go out seeking porn with people who shared similar features with his girlfriend or were interested in particular sex acts his girlfriend was interested in.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Dom it's the same as people comparing how big their music collections are. I don't really understand that one either but hey, I was never a big collector of things.

I love the story of your ex. There's something exquisitely sweet about a man tailoring his porn to his girlfriend and the acts she enjoys. Pornography, when cited as a problem in relationships, is so often considered to be an escape to a fantasy world full of women which the female partner in question could never hope to be. So often women feel threatened by their partners watching porn.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Except that people comparing music collections is generally the kind of pissing contest you hear down at the pub when people are trying to impress.  When I hear a group of guys and girls comparing the size of their smut collections down to the last megabyte in a pick-up joint, then maybe?  In my mind, though, comparing smut saving is more about reassurance, you know, "tell me I'm normal!"  In which case: yes, you're normal, it's fine.  Have a cookie. 

Every time I see an article or letter in a women's magazine about "my boyfriend looks at porn, is he cheating on me?" I want to go out, find the woman responsible and tell her that she should really reconsider whether a relationship is right for her at the moment.  Or at the very least, introduce her to a wide group of women who have absolutely no beef with their partner being interested in smut and start up support and rehabilitation groups.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

I think it is like comparing anything.  In some circles of friends and acquaintances you will claim to have none or less than you have (this goes fro everything from Porn to Music to versions of your CV).  In some groups it is matter of reassurance as dom says and in some it is a matter of "Wow, you have that much, you must introduce me to that [site/artist etc.]"

I have some friend in RL life who know about my pron collection, and we joke about it, because although I probably have a larger collection, they also have a collection of their own, so it is hypocritical of them to "teases" me about it.  Of course, many of my friends and family may suspect or not know at all, but it is not a subject that is mentioned or discussed.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

I remarked to a friend earlier today that  I had about 30 gbs of porn/erotic videos stored on the hard drive of my PC (I've since checked and I have 24 gbs stored).  Said friend then called me a pervert and maintained that "normal" people only have about 8, possibly 12 gbs at most stored on their computers.

So ladies and gentlemen, the question is How much porn do you have stored on your computer?

Elfman.

Don't feel bad, I lost count at 100gb...Normal people be damned! X^D

I'm honestly not sure what it's about either. Maybe I just like the numbers. I like keeping track of things, of developments in my own life and quantifying them. It could have something to do with that. Or maybe I just like to brag* about how I save all the videos I watch here. =P

*Though I'm not sure what that is to brag about.

I don't care how much smut my friends and lovers have on their computers, but I do have a dirty passion for finding where they specifically keep porn on their computers, under what tricky folder names (or blatant and honest names: mine's just "smut" or, after I got a new laptop, "newer smut") and, if there's a lot, how they actually file it.  I think all of that's far more interesting and telling than just a number.

I've struggled with this on and off. On my first own computer, I'd have a folder called "piss off" somewhere in "downloads" or in the root of my hard drive, as if that weren't obvious. But since I live on my own, and no one else was ever likely to go snooping around the hard drive, I'm not sure why I bothered.

Today, it's nested under a couple of sub folders of my downloads-folder, downloads\miscellaneous\hrum\ (yes, like a cough or clearing my throat), but as I watch things, they get moved to my external hard drive, still under the same search path though.

And still, I'm not sure why I "hide" it. Maybe it's because I imagine scenarios like where I need my tech savvy brother to help me with my computer, and I don't want it just sitting in the root of the hard drive in case he needs to go exploring the system.

My ex had this almost reflex action of saving all the smut he viewed and filing it.  Often, he would never watch those videos again, but he found the process of saving and filing soothing.

I think that's pretty common. I've heard tell quite often of how people save the things they like but never watch them again, and then once in a while erase it all. This goes especially for more random finds, like videos of uncertain origin from filesharing sites. And I've done the same thing a number of times myself. I've never erased anything I've paid for though.

You know you have a problem when you keep backups off site.  Hey, those videos of Viva, Strawberry, Immie, ..... I'd be lost without them.

But my Feck directory only has 164,000 files and 365 gig.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

Nowaysis: you can always brag about your excellent taste, if you're saving videos from here.  More importantly: "hrum" is definitely one of the better smut folder names I've heard.  Subtle!  I think some degree of hiding is probably best for most people.  And I think if there is a possibility that someone else is going to use your computer, it's not unreasonable to want to hide your smut (even if it's only a small possibility).  For some reason that makes me think of the same boyfriend telling me a story about how his housemate had asked to use his computer a few times when his went bust and later, boyfriend realised  housemate had only been using the computer to look up smut and had made no effort to cover his tracks.  I'm guessing most people don't want to know that their housemate is really in to incest porn, but there you go.

The reflex saving of smut, generally with no interest in actually viewing it again is really interesting - particularly since the people I know who have admitted to doing that (or just saving a lot of porn), would save enough to need to use external HDs for storing it all.  When I think that external HDs aren't the cheapest things around, it does make me wonder why anyone would need a year's supply (or more) of smut that they will probably never go through or use.  I don't necessarily think there's any real answer to that question.

It's good to keep porn. and very easy when it's stills

mmmmmmm1 was mostly pics of teen girls. mmmmm9 is mostly pics of ISM and pics from blogs like http://curvaceousdee.tumblr.com/ BDSM stuff is not on the computer but I rarely use it now, kink is so much hotter as an in head fantasy

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

I think some degree of hiding is probably best for most people.  And I think if there is a possibility that someone else is going to use your computer, it's not unreasonable to want to hide your smut (even if it's only a small possibility).

Indeed. And even if one as a person is open about enjoying porn, there's no need to risk confronting (as it were) other people with one's habit (it sounds so dirty written like that, but I can't find a better word at the moment) or one's sexuality, given that one can't be certain how they'll react if it's unbidden.*

A thought occurred to me though. Might the hiding be in part for our own benefit too somehow? I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but something about ease of access causing a devaluation of the content, or some such...? Or maybe it's just a safety precaution so we don't have to glance the porn folder and get distracted any time we need to browse the hard drive? =P

Of course, Blissed might have something to say about that, given his screen shot above.

*Using "one" as a personal pronoun always sounds so hoity toity and artificial, but I didn't want to risk you thinking I was actually talking about you specifically.

As one means everyone you could write this.

I always think your English is marvelous. My Swedish is zero but I love the tune the acent kind of sings.

My desktop is full of probly over 100 files all in a mess. I never file anything away carefully because spotlight will find it anyway. I had to move that file and clear a space around it to screenshot. and it sits there with the much less used mmmvideo in the top rigt hand corner right up in the tree tops and is used if I'm here and want an orgasm. I'm quite proud of mmmmm9 and really glad it sexually inspires me. Something I couldn't say about pre ISM mmmmmm1 which is on a DVD somewhere.

Re: How Much Porn Do You Have Stored On Your Computer?

I find that collections of things never ever get revisited, as much as I do intend to revisit them when I am industriously filing and organizing them away. So, bookmark folders hardly ever get used - recipes for example, 1 in 10 will never see inside my pantry, though I do diligently store them away on the off-chance I will one day make that braided, chocolate chip-and-mandarin challah.

The lemon curd recipe sat at the bottom of my inbox for like, 3 years, really, never getting archived. I am so proud to have finally used it.

Porn though, I will totally never use twice the same stuff, though I will replay it in my head. I stumble across the weirdest most random things that so do it for me. The other day I had my first multiple o - I came 4 times without a refractory period.. I didn't know I was capable of that. I was not only watching a grainy, poorly lit video, but it was Japanese and the good bits were blurred out. wtf? still, hot enough. super hot.

Every mood is different and an opportunity to get off to porn (usually I am media-free, or partnered) usually involved many different chat windows, videos, possibly a webcam, tabs with stories open, maybe even a good click through of craigslist casual encounters. It's a multilayered, organic thing I can not possibly recreate by browsing through a saved folder of stuff. I make it sound so noble! but to me, it is.

I guess I just need to feel *connected* - to the web. to strangers, and to random content.
