Now, I know a lot of guys watch porn and it's a fact I've somewhat accepted (though I do think that most porn is demeaning to women... Just throwing that out there...) But come on guys, you really need to learn to hide your porn better on your computers. I have now twice found guys' porn completely by accident.
The first time was The Army Guy (while we were dating) - I was looking through his photos (with his permission and he was standing nearby) and there was a folder within his pictures folder that said "video" so I clicked on it, figuring it was vacation videos from his digital camera or something. Nope. Porn. Just a couple videos, but still porn nonetheless. I actually thought it was pretty hilarious that I found it that easily. He flipped out though and accused me of snooping. I was like "it's not snooping when I only had to click two buttons to find it!"
The second time was yesterday. I was looking through this person's computer for a file (with his permission but thank goodness he wasn't there at the time or it REALLY REALLY would've been awkward). I thought the file would be in an "untitled project" folder or something so I searched for "untitled" there was a folder called "untitled" but none called "untitled project." So I clicked on it and it was porn. Lots and lots and lots and lots of porn. And let me just stress that this is pretty much one of the last people who I want to know what kind of porn he watches.
So, guys (or girls) - if you're going to keep porn on your computer, hide it well. Put it in a folder with a name that would not make people want to click on it. Something boring that no one will want to see. Not "untitled" because that will just make people want to click on it to find out what's in the folder. And don't put it in with your vacation pictures for goodness sake! I may have accepted the fact that guys look at porn but that doesn't mean I want to be faced with awkward situation of accidentally finding it.

Good advice. I used this entry in my entry. Hope you don't mind :)
You'll find mine under My Documents, in a folder labeled "porn." And I write about masturbation regularly on Xanga. What's to hide?
Good post.
Your thoughts helped me reign mine in enough to write something related to this. I hope you don't mind but I added a link to this entry on my site...
Having porn in your computer is a waste of gigabytes in my opinion.

I don't see what's wrong with labeling your porn. just make a porn folder, gosh. It would be funny, but cmon, we all know why you have so many gigabytes used up...or just use google chrome and go "in cognito"
