They'll separate us, leaving video tapes to remember...

Got more packing down tonight. I went through my porn tapes. Yes, I said tapes. You see, before the invention of the Interwebs, and more specifically, before I had high speed access to watch porn online, I had to get my porn fixes the old fashioned way: videotapes.

I started buying them back when I was still at home. I hid them in my room and watched them only when my parents were gone, as I didn't have a TV or VCR in my room. When I moved into the apartment 12 years ago, my purchasing of them increased, especially when I got internet access and all the sites selling it that were now open to me.

Of course, in later years, I was ordering only DVDs, which are much easier to store, and then online. I can't recall the last time I actually bought any porn. Although I still have all that I bought previously.

As I did with my porn mags, I went through the tapes saving those that I recalled having a good scene or two in them. These tapes filled up a rather large and long rubbermaid container...like the ones you could slide under a tall bed. BUT, even more amazing, the ones I did NOT want, they filled 4, yes FOUR garbage bags! Big garbage bags, not like the kitchen garbage bags, oh no, we're talking filled with leaves in the autumn sized garbage bags! Four of them. And a small box besides.

I was just gonna throw them out, but then I remembered one of my fuckbuddies, and how over the nearly 20 years we've been playing, he's borrowed several of the movies from time to time. So I called him and he said SURE he's take them. I mean really, who could turn down several garbage bags of free porn?

But as I said, this was just the tapes. I STILL have the DVD's to go through and pack up. They shouldn't be that bad though, as they're much easier to store. And speaking of storage, A Local Celebrity, Mr. David ParisPeking has graciously volunteered to store the porn in his garage until I get all moved into my new house. I mean, I'm sure most of my family coming to movie me knows that I'm gay, but I really don't need my 17 year old cousin to be carrying a box, stumble, and have several porno spill out onto the floor in front of my aunts, and grandmother and ultra religious uncle, ya know? So I'll just keep it at his house.

It's time like this, when you need someone to store your stash of gay porn so your family doesn't see it during a move, when you realize who your true friends are.
