How and Where Did you Hide Your Stash of Porn Mags?

Aspire2B · July 15th, 2016, 09:45 AM

The one joy of the modern internet porn is that you don't have to go to any lengths to hide your stash of mags, but in the golden days when magazines were the only source of naked female flesh there was a great reluctance to thrown them away. I am sure there must have been many of us who went to great lengths to hide the every growing pile of porn mags in some ingenious and imaginative way.

For me I kept my stash carefully hidden in the back of large tool cupboard that I had in the garage. Imagine my surprise when my wife was out for the the day and I nipped into the garage only to be greeted a total lack of magazines and a note saying "They Are In The Bin!" Quickly I rushed to the bin only to find that the dustbin men had emptied it a few days earlier. My entire stash of pleasure had gone forever and not a word was ever mentioned by my wife!

Of course I had to find a new hiding place before getting hold of any new mags, so thought about work. At that time I worked in an office which my desk faced right up to a wall. One weekend I went into work and adapted some bracket that could support a small box and fastened them to the back of my desk so that the new mags would be hidden between the vanity panel of my desk and the wall it was facing.

Every time I wanted access to a mag or hide a new one I had to wait until the office was empty and crawl under my desk and lift out this box and slip a mag out under the cover of a file.

Thankfully it worked but it certainly was limited to just a few magazines worth of storage.

But what about those avid collectors who must have had a right pile of porn mags. What ingenious lengths did you go to to keep them well hidden and did they ever get discovered?

great thread!

an older friend bought me my first magazine, a Best of Cl*b issue in 1992 and I stashed it in a space above the bathroom lightning. To get to it, I'd stand on the toilet seat. Well one day i broke the damned seat reaching for the stash and had to hide the magazines in the towel drawer. Afraid my mom would find it, i tossed the magazine.

i managed to find a copy of that magazine last year and now keep it with the rest of my stash in my home office. I feel complete again!

My father kept his men's magazines in his lower nightstand drawer and were subsequently moved to a special place in his workshop. Naturally, I discovered all these by the time I was 5 or 6. This didn't worry my parents in the least.

My folks were very understanding about the process of sexual maturation and were very respectful of my closed bedroom door (when they knew I was inside).

My younger brother still marvels that in my mid-teens (14-15) I told my mother: "You will never find the dirty magazines that I have hidden under my bed". She laughed at this and never "found" my dirty mags which were, indeed, kept under my bed. I have never had to hide my "stash", though I have tried to be discreet.

I might mention that the Huns that were my brother's friends did descend upon my collection and systematically dismembered every near-pristine volume of Penthouse from 1972 on. About all that was left was a spine with staples and some shreds of "articles".

I had a desk drawer with space between the bottom and the floor. I pulled the drawer all the way out and had access to a space about 3 inches deep. I had to rip out the picture pages and throw away the rest of the magazine when my collection got too big.

When I lived with my parents, my room was on the top floor. There was a little tiny loft access hatch. It wasn't big enough to get anything in there, so I stored all my Mayfairs, Clubs, Knaves etc. under the loft insulation. Safe and secure, where no-one would find them.

I cut out my favorite photos from my favorite magazines and put them in a large envelope inside the box that my Led Zeppelin CD box set came in - once I removed the CDs and the foam insert. My parents hated LZ - so there was no risk of them looking in there......It truly was my box of delights

Never had to hide them, my parents were pretty cool.

I had a freestanding shelving unit that had about 2 inches of empty space beneath the base shelf...surrounded by side panels.

Everything was kept in a zippered pouch that fit nicely in that space...all I had to do was tilt the unit back enough to pull the pouch out.
