Just wondering what the personal porn collections of other posters were like. Yesterday, I received some DVDs I'd ordered and realized too late that I already owned two of the titles. I have about 1200 DVDs. Is that a normal-sized collection?
I'd say 1,200 DVDs is probably way more than normal. If we assume that your DVDs have an average of 5 scenes per disc, and you watched 1 scene a day, you could watch a brand new scene each and every day for over 16 years. I have a 1 terabyte external hard drive that's nearly 80% full - all porn. I'd say that's probably more than normal as well. Who cares? Normal is boring.
I've twice bought duplicate DVDs and that was damn annoying. I'd say you have too much pr0n when you reach the point where maintaining your interest gets in the way of living your everyday life to your satisfaction. If you've paid an average of $10 a title, you've got about 12k invested in your pr0n. The question one would have to answer for himself or herself is, could some of that money have been put to better use? Macko69, I hope you're backing your collection up on another HDD!
You might try searching this topic in POLLS. I know it's come up there. I have maybe 50 DVDs tops, and a half-dozen VHS left, and probably a dozen non-Playboy magazines and maybe 5 books. I do have a lot of photos, but the core stuff that I fall back on, the tried-and-true, is really relatively small. I'm always surprised at people who say they have hundreds or thousands of DVDs, especially the collectors who buy things to fill checklists. Are you able to go back and reap the benefit from that many? And if you're not, why bother? Personally I'd prefer to have 10 DVDs I love rather than 100 DVDs that are so-so.

I have about 130 adult DVDs and around 600 regular DVDs. Most of my adult DVDs are features from the 70s, the best of them can be re-watched just like a mainstream film. I only have half a dozen gonzo DVDs because I only purchase the stuff that I think is really good and has more than just one or two good scenes (Mason, Malone, John Leslie).

Oh, that's larger than normal I'd think. But not record setting. Be sure to go off to Ultimate ADT Poll: Which Adult DVD's do you own? to report on how many you have and to publish your list. Ramsey and bigfoot have reported more than that. Others have alluded to having more. Edited by - heynow on 10/10/2008 1:05:15 AM
You can never have enough porn. I find the problem is one your've watched YOU'VE WATCHED IT. and then you need something fresh. the only problem with my growing collection is WHERE THE HELL DO I KEEP IT? I'm running out of space!

I have about 500 or so, mainly interactive, pov, masturbation, and g/g..........some great titles and some just wondering how to get rid of.....but in my opinion you can never have enough porn....they always come out with more and better titles every time you try to get out they pull you back in......In my case My Plaything: Ashlynn Brooke (dream dvd come true).
I have around 400 titles, most of them fairly new releases. I used to have well over 1000 but over the past two years I sold the stuff I was bored with to useddvd.com The site buys your DVD's and it's run by DVD Empire. It's been a good way for me to recycle my porn into a newer collection.
I have 6 300-disc binder cases full. Many of those discs contain 1 movie each, meant to play in a television's DVD player. Many, many more of the discs are data discs containing about 3 full-length movies each, in .avi format, but they play great on my PC and that's where I watch most of my porn anyway. I have so many data discs b/c I need to be able to put multiple movies/scenes on each disc. Then of course I've always got about 100GB on my HDD in current rotation.

When you STOP having sex or trying to meet women so you can stay at home and watch porn. In other words porn fills the void of sexual activity and becomes more important than actually having sex (hello SOME of you bloggers on ADT!!! You know who you are!!!). When it intrudes and harms the rest of your life, like anything else I guess.
^Hey, stop looking at me Sarah Jane! I'll have you know I went to a party tonight and met two girls that there could be something with. And I only came home because I just couldn't take all the people. But I'm going to hang out with both of them soon.

Now, did I mention your name???? Me thinks you doth protest too much! :) Congrats and getting out. And going to a party where there were girls no less! ... And major congrats on actually talking to not only one but TWO girls. You better score, I swear it!!!
luckily I've dated women who got off on porn and did everything that women do in the movies. I can only say though that too much of anything is too much when it starts interfering with your normal daily flow of life whether its gambling, drinking, eating, even exercising ( I know a girl thats at the gym 6 days a week 3 hours a day) I would worry when you get to the point where you can quote all of the movies word for word, moan for moan, and breathe for breathe.
