How to get rid of some old porn?

Back in the olden days before the advent of the Internet, I used to have all my porn on paper - that is to say, a stack of magazines. That was over fifteen years ago, and I've still got them.

However, I've been thinking that I don't really want them around anymore, partly because I now have all the porn I need at my fingertips on my computer, and party because I have a child and do not want her to stumble across it someday. I can protect my computer files, but it's harder to protect a box of magazines.

Now, obviously I can just throw them in a dumpster. But I wonder if there's something better I could do with them. I've had a few ideas...

(1) Deliver them in plain wrapping to the front door of a local fraternity house.

(2) Donate them to a sperm bank, claim a tax deduction.

(3) Find some kind of porn E-bay, offer them for sale.

(4) Leave them in a random men's room stall in a bar somewhere with a note that says, "My wife made me get rid of these - enjoy."

(5) Send them to our troops in Iraq.

(6) Sell them for 25 cents credit apiece to a porn store, and get a brand-new videotape for only $15 more.

(7) Secret Santa!

(8) Give them to a friend of my little brother's who I know for a fact used to steal them from under my bed.

(9) Put them in the recycle bin at the local church. Earth first!


Anyone else got an idea? Seriously, I do want to get rid of these without just throwing them away. I spent an embarrassing amount of money on them and it seems wasteful to send them to a landfill. I've got about thirty magazines, all reasonbly high-quality and with nothing sticky on the pages.

Try sexybay.com.........buyers and sellers welcome!

Give'em to the troops,along with a travel sized bottle of lotion!

I'd wallpaper the basement with it.

I have the same problem... stacks of old magazines and VHS tapes.

I've thought about Ebay or even the classified ads in the local paper... Of course, you have to be very careful how you word the ad... You have to be vague enough for the ad to be accepted and specific enough that potential buyers know what it is you're selling.

Hmmmm..... Magazine porn is still good porn!! What magazines are they? If they are Penthouse Forum or the like-I might buy a few (if you decide to sell them).

(See, I have this fantasy.....it involves tying my lover to the bed and blindfolding him. I light a nice scented candle. I lie in the bed next to him, naked, and not touching...yet. Then I read sexy stories to him. Watch him get hard. Read more but this time maybe acting it out or just caressing or licking him. In my fantasy, he gets so worked up. He can only focus on my voice, the story, and my touch. Oh, I get worked up too-believe me . The story culminates with mindblowing, earth shattering sex!! You can't do this fantasy with a desktop, lol! Written is best!!)

Getting worked up again. Damn it-I need relief!!!!!!!!!

I could use a few for a yankee swap in a couple weeks. From what I hear about the variety of people attending, it might make for some interesting, if not stimulating, conversation.

LMAO...you're gonna show up at the church fair with this stuff? This I gotta see!

I like the Bar Idea, Soldier care packages and Secret Santa (if it is a true SS where no one will ever know)

This thread makes me feel like a seasoned pervert. I literally dumped all of my magazines about ten years ago. I was living with my parents and with limited storage space it was a case of out with the old, in with the new because I had just turned old enough to get into the adult video store

Assuming you've never called him out on it give at least one of them to your brother's friend. The sperm bank and Iraq are equally good ideas, but I don't know if either source would accept such a gift. The sperm bank just might have some sanitary concerns about distributing used magazines to donors, and the military might have security concerns about passing out unwrapped gifts from an anonymous source to the troops.

Don't put too much effort into it, if you can't find a willing recipient recycle them and be done with it.

I'm sure the guys in your local Middle School Science/Chess/Computer club would love them.

I sure would have.

Please do not attempt to send porn to soldiers. Most of them are in places where porn is illegal and they risk serious consequences if porn is found on them. Not to say that there isn't a lot of porn over there, it is just something that it is a VERY good idea not to try to send.

I like the whole Secret Santa gift as long as it is truly a secret, also, make sure that the gifts will not be opened in public. Or maybe you could just buy a trunk with a lock, keep it in the basement and keep them all in there. That's what my father did (he wasn't the smartest person in the world considering you could jimmy the lock with some scissors, or just open it with the key taped to the bottom).

#5 is a nice idea but they would never make it! Not ony can you not send them, someone would intercept them.

Send them to the head of the FCC with a note that reads: Loosen the fuck up! Its all good!

I knew that when I came up with the idea, actually, but it was still too good an idea to leave off the list. I won't actually be doing that one.

I checked out sexybay - it seems to be Austrailian-based, and being an American I don't want to do it. Not that I have anything against Australia, it's just that shipping porn overseas can get one arrested.

Still haven't decided exactly what I will do with them yet.

Oh, and to INeedLove - it's pretty much all pictorial material, very little in the way of erotic writing outside of two Penthouse magazines with forum sections - and the ones I have aren't very good, in my opinion. Being a mostly visual person, I generally bought porn with pictures, not words.

Hell, I'll take them. I still like old-school porn.

ebay has a porno section........word it however, only adults with verified ages can acess it....


and there is one more way to get rid of it. send it to me !!!!

Wouldn't mind having some of those old VHS tapes myself.

I know the adult section of ebay like I know the back of my hand. The market for used magazines and vhs tapes is so soft that I wouldn't pay the fee to list them for fear of not getting it back in the auction. Especially if you don't have experience selling (and the positive feedback that comes with it) don't bother listing the stuff on ebay because you won't get any bids. Just mail it to one of the people here at lit who say that they could put it to good use

Sending them to y'all is fine and good, except for two things:

(1) I wish to remain anonymous. My name is not "Steve Jones" or something like that - it's very unusual, and anyone with my real name could also have my address and phone number with a few clicks of the mouse.

(2) I do not wish to pay for postage. This means that someone out there would have to be willing to share personal information with me, so that I could send a UPS or FedEx package charged to the recipient, and they would have to do it without having my personal information which I do not wish to share. These are terms I would not accept myself, and so I do not ask others to accept them.

The only way I can see to do it would be to arrange a personal meeting somewhere here in Houston, where I live, and I would simply hand over the box. This meeting would naturally be in a public place. Of course, this also limits the potential recipients to those who live in Houston or who are willing to travel there. Needless to say, I will not give them to anyone who doesn't look to be definitely over the age of eighteen, and if you're twenty-three but look young, expect me to ask for ID.

Any takers?
