Before the internet, how did you amass your porn collection?

Went to New York where I could be free and me and walk around to Show World, Time Square and all of their porn splendor and buy mags and VHS tapes.

When I felt a little bold I'd just walk into that porn place on Route 1 in Edison, NJ and risk every person I know seeing my car or me going in or coming out.

I used to...
- watch it late night with ON TV (sometimes scrambled)

- watch Skinamax on Friday night
- rented and copied VHS from the local video store
- watch 20 minute workout when I got up early


I was hooked.
To be a teen in the 80's.
good times......good times.


Yea i loved waiting around for the AO segment of ON TV..anytime you heard the opening minutes of Ronnie Laws's "Heavy On Easy" then announcer saying"ON TV's Adults Only presentation will begin after this brief intermission"..

Never heard of the Duece. If it was a movie theater then definitely no. Those swarmed with fags. Mostly places that sold vhs and mags. Occasionally a place that had private booths with movies or a live chick. Now that was interesting.
 
would rent and dub them shits, sometimes they had some shit on the tape to block dubbing though.

Got around that shit though bruh! I was mad as fuck when I was trying to dub Black Magic (Jawn whith Mauvis De Noir (Used to love that bish), Sahara and Lady Stephanie).... Had my shit all set up and it wouldn't dub... Figured out all you had to do was put tape on that lil square on the back corner of the tape to dub it! Dubbed that shit and then took the tape off and after that it was all good! :dance: :lol:

Back in the high school years the crew all had membership cards at the local video rental place. Our parents just left the cards with us as we were the ones renting the bulk of the movies, so we tried our luck and rented out XXX too (and they never checked ID on any of us). Pick up Menace II Society on VHS, and some porn for good measure. That's wassup when you're in high school. There were a few local rental places that sold tapes, so that was helpful (didn't have to go to an actual adult video store & get caught). Also, a friend of a friend's dad used to own or co-own an adult video store and would often bring home boxes of porn and have that stored away. My friend located the stuff and would occasionally grab a handful of those for us and we'd dub them on our own time, and then stash them back in the collection a week later or whatever.
 
VHS tapes...primarily black compilation joints...couple of jake steed joints...only white joint I remember buying was miami spice...the first one...on average I probably had 10-15 tapes hidden behind some books on a small shelf in my closet (I would throw away the boxes and rip off the labels before I got home)...I'd give away some joints to make space if I wanted something new...there was a spot in manhattan I wanna say 18th street or near there where they have a huge ass old navy...and @ the time right across the street was a porn shop that never checked for ID lol

I never had a porn collection. I always enjoyed tasting and fucking real pussy. I lost my vaginity at 13 and that was around the first time I saw a porn video. I realized that watching porn just didn't arouse me like the feel of real pussy did. I only watched porn growing up to learn new sex positions so I can do to the girls I was fucking.
 
Damn! Some of y'all was hella young...lol & smh

At first, my boy across the street from my crib, ALWAYS had porn mags he got from his dad in his room. I'd check them out. Started out with Playboy, but once I saw Penthouse and Hustler..pussy lips and not just hair patches, it was over.

Then in high school, a few times a year, me and my boys would go to a porn theatre, talk shit and drink beer. First one was the Shangrila in downtown Chi.

After I moved outta mom's crib, I'd get mags from convenience stores, a 6-pack of beer, and pick up a package of sumthin to smoke on and chill.

Once I got a vcr, I got tapes from my boy. He was a dubbing machine and I knew I had to get a second vcr, too.

I'd hit up the mom and pop video stores...I had memberships at a buncha them spots and over the years, I had a helluva collection. I even got a full size VHS camcorder and made some homegrown of a few of my exes, but I finally threw all that shit away...by then, it was a hefty garbage bag of porn mags and VHS tapes..

I haven't recorded shit since tube sites...except a lil home grizzle, and when my ex moved in with me, I had to give my brother all my SD cards for safe keeping. I didn't want her stumbling across a buncha my ol freaks.
 
Adult video store, rent a cha, then transfer the shits to blanks. Had about 50 tapes. Then dad's came out and it was harder for a minute until DVD burners...

I remember on 14.4 modems, then 28.8 and 56k. Porn via the net was mostly pics. Video was hard to come by due to their sizes.

Now I have a few terabytes of shit put away on various hard drives.
 
I didnt have no porn collection. :dunno:

Broadband internet was the beginning of my porn collection growth.

I maybe had a few videos on 56k, if i really wanted that video id stay up all day downloading it or let it download overnight and hope ot finished completely. lol

This the spot after the BP gas station and before the turn to go into Highland Park?!!?

NJ porn shops be looking sketchy as hell from the outside. what is it like inside?!
They don't even have a wall to block the car park lmao.

Wassup homes! I haven't been inside since I don't know when. Maybe 15 to 20 years. Even then it changed a lot. It went from mags and vhs tapes to dvr stuff. It had private booths to view movies in the vhs days. Dudes would go in there and spank it. Then they made the booths.visible from the waste down so you couldn't jerk off anymore. It took a turn for the worse when fags started hanging out there and almost openly propositioning dudes. The last time I went in was to buy the Paris Hilton tape.

Today, I think they have similar stuff, but they probably specialize more in sex toys and enhancements and stuff.
 
Didn't really have a collection. I might record some scenes off the skinemax or the Playboy channel when we could bootleg it.

The internet came along and I would hoard clips, but only watch them once.

After the old hard drives died and streaming became reliable, I stopped collecting. I'll keep a few bookmarks. If the links die, oh well. Pussy is easy to come by, not a big deal.
 
Had no personal collection before the internet. I'd watch some of my dad's vhs tapes, though.
 
bought magazines from the local liquor store...i was into erotic comic books also..so i would buy magazines like Heavy Metal...

i would rent video tapes from the local video rental store...i was in college..so i didn't have a car...so i had to walk about half a mile to get there....and i had two VCRs...so when i got home...i would play the tape in the first VCR..and use the second VCR to record the tape...

first VCR was super janky...it was kinda old...and tapes were always gettin' stuck in it...i had to use a butter knife to get them out...

i had strippers come to the crib...and i would take photos of them dancin'...

i got cousins from down south and i made duplicates of their photos from freaknik....

somehow where i lived...the Playboy channel...would miraculously come on for free...from 2am to 6am...once i found that out...for like six months i never got any sleep...

recorded them softcore movies off of Skinemax...and Showtime...
 
BGOL confessional...

I had a problem...for nearly 3 years I was stealing mags from a bookstore...I had BOXES of mags. Some wouldn't even get looked at more than the initial once over. When my wife and I moved in together, I had to try and hide them. It wasnt until we moved to a new spot that I had to throw them all out. Then the internet happened...On Probation/BGOL; those 56k killer threads, lol! Downloading shit off of kazaa...I had the full All Dat Azz series...wifey found it, didn't flip out too much; we would watch some together. After my computer crashed in '09, I stopped saving shit. Tube sites and BGOL eliminated the need to download....
 
I used to record flicks on Cinemax and HBO Real Sex. I would flip when they actually casted a sista or just being satisfied with any woman of color was casted.
 
Wow! High school memories!!! I grew up in Gary, IN, and I used to go to this dirty, dusty little hole in the wall ghetto "grocery store" that sold candy, chips, cold soda, and grocery supplies up front, and had a newsstand in the back that had porn. I would borrow the car from my dad, and go to this store every month to get the Gary Post-Tribune (which I didn't need since it came to our house every morning), the Chicago Sun-Times, and the latest copy of Players Magazine to hide in between the two. I would hide my Players stash in the loft of the family garage, out of the reaches of my parents. Every time I would go into that little store though, I would see this guy sitting on a stool reading the paper with a nasty ass .45 holstered on his side. I always wondered to myself, why the hell they needed an armed guard in this little bitty, dingy, dusty, neighborhood "grocery store" in the middle of the hood that nobody seemed to patronize other than little kids buying candy and chips, and teenagers like me raiding the porn collection? It wasn't until years later, long after I left home, finished college, and moved to another part of the country, and long after that old building had been shuttered, that I learned that the "grocery store" was just a front. I only knew about the "grocery store" that you entered from the front door. I never knew that most people entered that building from a back door in the alley. It turns out that the whole operation was controlled by the Chicago Outfit, and the real money was being made upstairs. Turns out, they were running slots, roulette, high stakes poker, and whores upstairs, and probably taking in upwards of $1 million a month out of that dusty little hood store, and the guy with the sidearm was there to make sure that nobody got out with the real stash.

Then I had da cracked password sites and he had high speed internet. Mane!!!! A nigga almost whooped himself ta' deff.
 
VHS from dirty book store....and mags....take my girl with me and pick out a selection of vids and mags......a real forbidden experience....part of the foreplay
 
Had a 500 Gb hard drive dull of porn from West Coast production, Black Ice, and Slayer studios. Sold copies to people in my dorm. Made enough money to keep gas in my car, buy books every semester, and go out every weekend with ease. Once streaming started, I erased it to put more Cds on them.
