Why Won't My Dad Throw His Old Pornos Away?

[Mariposa Electrique]

My dad is in his early 70s, very active, and still physically fit. He refuses to retire despite being extremely well off. One thing that has always confused me is why he refuses to get rid of his stache of 80s VHS pornos he keeps in his study. My father hasn't owned a VHS player since the mid 90s. What's his reasoning? Should I confront him about it?

 

[Penis Drager]

He wants to pass them on to you, and you to your child, and he to his.
Family heirlooms are a thing to be treasured.

 

[GenericEdgelordSupreme]

He must be a whoarder.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Sounds like he's prepared if the internet goes down.

 

[Klaptrap]

He taped over them with valuable blackmail.

 

[PoppyFizz]

You ever have that one video you remember jacking off to but can't find it anywhere on the internet anymore? Yeah, same shit.

If he downloads a porno now, he is stuck choosing between:

1. downloading a video of a young girl, who could be his granddaughter, which by all rights should creep him out.
2. downloading a recent video of a women his own age, who he may not find as compelling as a young woman, and men in their 70s need all the help they can get.

But in his VHS he can find women who were both born in the 1960s and look to be in their 20s, forever - a perfect combination, hidden from him only from his understandable lack of a VHS player. I would suggest you discreetly tell him that there are now ways to digitize analog content nowadays.

 

[Consider Lizärds]

They're from a time when he was younger, reminders of youth can be nice as you grow older. 70 isn't hugely old, but it ain't 30. Nostalgia usually wears rose tinted glasses, too. Good memories. Leave him be I say, he's no fool, and trust that he keeps them for a reason.

 

[The Wicked Mitch]

He's safeguarding them so his great grandchildren can jerk off to porn that doesn't involve ass eating, piss drinking maimed trannies.

 

[Chi-com Soldier]

What kind of weirdo involves themselves in their father's porn habit?

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

check for any with Traci Lords … ..

 

[Aunt Carol]

I guess you're buying him a VCR for Christmas.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Those are Traci Lords tapes he rented in 1986. Call the cops.
