Remember when porn fans collected magazines? Here’s how to ditch granddad’s stash

Once upon a time before the internet, pornography fans collected magazines. Now a London firm is helping people whose dead relatives leave collections behind to get rid of them - discreetly, of course.

Say your father has died and you find his pornography collection hidden in a cupboard. Too embarrassed to tell your mother or put it out with the trash? Try calling Webuyanyporn, founded nine months ago to deal with such awkward situations.

“Because certain generations of men are coming to the end of their lives now, we tend to find magazines from the 1970s and 1980s, normal top-shelf magazines - Playboys, Penthouses,” the business’s owner, “Dave” said, requesting that his surname not be used.

“There’s lots of porn sitting around in people’s attics, garden sheds, under the beds. There’s porn everywhere.”

Customers who discover unwanted pornography can call the 55-year-old who will come to the house in an unmarked van and take away magazines, VHS tapes and posters.

Dave will even pay cash for stashes.
