    Growing up, my brother and I found a camcorder tape hidden in the basement of the house we moved into like 6 months prior. We had to buy a mini tape to VHS converter so we could play the thing on our VCR.

    It was a tape of some young dude in the our (now) basement going “this is going to be a video showing you how to make love to beautiful women.”

    Me and my brother were like “hell yeah!” Then the guy in the video goes “but before you make love, you have to learn to love yourself.”

    The entire video was then just this dude jacking off. We were so mad we went out of our way to buy a VHS converter just to watch this dude beating his meat. There were no beautiful women to be found.

      Going to remember this if I ever sell a house. Stick meatspin on some ancient storage media and a note that will make someone want to watch it.

        Think of this from our perspective. We are two teenage boys. We find a hidden tape. We don’t know what’s on it. What’s the next logical move?

        Or if you’re saying once the guy in the tape does his intro, what are you saying you’d do differently? Are you saying you’d send your brother out of the room so you could watch the tape of the guy jacking off by yourself? Cause that’s weird as fuck dude.

          Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought the implication was you knew it was a porno tape before you converted it. Actually, I have a bunch of old Video 8 tapes I wanna copy over for my mom. Thanks for reminding me.

            Lol nope, it was just an unlabeled camcorder tape. There’s a lesson to be learned here, which is be careful with unlabeled tapes. Hope you don’t find anything similar on your mom’s tapes!

    Best case scenario it’s some weird ass arty old time shit with a few dead animals and flies everywhere, then you get a phone call that says “7 days”.

    Worst case: It’s your mom getting railed.

      There is the probability that OP could be watching their own conception. Doesn’t get more instructional than that.
