DISCARDED PORN

Disposal of porn is like trying to get rid of chemical weapons or nuclear waste. No matter what you do with it, you’re running the risk of discovery, humiliation, and worse still, contamination of an innocent population.

You know what's worse than porn? THROWING AWAY OLD PORN. You know what happens when guys throw their porn away so that their wives or girlfriends don't get mad at them? KIDS FIND THE STASH.

Seriously. Before the internet most kids were exposed to porn in their parents' nightstands OR by reclaiming mysteriously discarded magazines thrown in ditches or dumpsters. Right? I don't know how many stories I've heard of kids finding filthy magazines and that being their first exposure to pornography. BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD ANY MORAL SCOLD WARN AGAINST THIS TRAGEDY. My goodness ladies, don't pressure your husbands to get rid of their porn collections because it will no doubt wind up in an innocent child's ruin!! I mean, they never even issued any guidelines that I knew of for the PROPER disposal of pornography (clearly burning is the only option).

How come so many people worry about the appropriate way to rid a household of a ouija board but no dire warnings have ever been issued about centerfolds being sent to the landfill only to find themselves RIGHT BACK IN YOUR HOUSE, this time under a child's mattress!?!

Joking aside, I truly think this is fucked-up oversight on the part of anti-porn crusaders since, until the advent of the internet, SHAME was probably one of the top three reasons kids got their hands on porn. Because someone threw their collection away, a kid scavenged for it and his eyes were burned out by the sordid sight of SKIN!!

Anyway, you should NEVER EVER throw your porn away. Instead you should donate it to Carol Queen's library of the Center for Sex and Culture.

If you want to waste some more time, here's another funny piece about porn disposal.
