Very True Steve.
The porn I looked at was the normal stuff, but i have read that sensitive, (tender-hearted) or better put .. shy guys, tend to be more psycologically harmed by porn than more out going guys.
I was certainly the shy guy back in High school, (glad i got over that in the last few years!). If you have a natural tendency of having a hard time approaching women in the first place, porn does more damage to you.
Then, there are those people who can look at it everyday and it won't effect them much.
Who would have thought that the porn posts would go on this long?!
Hey guys, I said "woody Woodpecker" in my post before this one!!
"Woody?" Get it?! WOODY??!!
Oh well.

Hi -- I just happened upon this thread and thought I'd add a few comments.
First, this thread is a terrific demonstration of one of the enduring mysteries of porn: it outsells every other genre (100's, perhaps 1000's of 8mm porn reels sold for every 'mainstream' reel) -- *yet no one watches it*! It must just that lonely fat psycho guy on the other side of the tracks.
At any rate, I do collected porn/erotica/blue movies, what have you, in both 8mm and 16mm (no interest in video or dvd etc.). So if any of you run across collections and don't feel a moral imperative to destroy it, drop me a line and I'll give you something for them - not much, but something.
Regarding some more specific questions / comments on the thread:
1) Deep Throat on 8mm -- as everyone knows, DT was an enormous box-office success, and therefore the 4-reel 8mm reductions were produced and bootlegged in enormous quantities. As a result, many have survived and they are not worth much at all. So, don't knock yourself out trying to market this -- unless you can connive someone into thinking its a true rarity.
2) John Holmes appeared in 8mm films from the start of his career all the way into the 80's, and he made 100's of different loops in various stag series. His films were very popular (you all know his name, right?) so they sold large quantities, and as a result are not at all rare.

It's no Mystery Albert, SEX SELLS!!
Take a product that won't sell, say wankled rotary engines, (that's just funny to say!), and it won't sell ...
Then drape a half naked woman all over it, saying ...
"I'll do anything for a man with a wankled rotary engine!"
and they'll sell like hotcakes! (Especially if the ad ends with "Get Rotary, GET WANKLED!)
This is excellent timing as Fred K Wilders is selling a very rare feature print, I forget the title, but it's a history of the adult film industry, all the way from the silent movies, all the way up to "Deep Throat", (that tells you about when it was made).
By the way, Fred K Wilders prints are top notch, so your sure to get a good print of very rare feature title, for those interested in the subject, (there might be many a film starlett in that, many of them did start making "blue" movies)!
