Like I said, I know he has a modest collection of porn. Usually he watches it once, then deletes it. But normally when he downloads it, it’s the middle of the night when he’s bored, not just before he leaves for his ball game.

OK. I am going to type this quickly once through without preview, since my wife is on a different computer right behind me. Of course it will be archived forever in the SDMB, but she won’t notice, will she?
Your statement above contains a number of inaccuracies that I will attempt to clear up. And no, not a shred of this is from first-hand knowledge, it’s all based on what I know about various friends of mine. If my wife is reading this somehow, trust me, she knows who I’m talking about. (Right, honey?)
[ul][li]He has a modest collection of porn. This is almost certainly false. My guess is that this is an extremely cagey and shrewd individual you have here, and my hat is off to him. He is in a serious long-term relationship with you (affiancéd), and has assumed that at some point you will look for or discover his porn. Thus, he has casually allowed you to see a “modest collection” thereof in an open, shared environment. But I have said enough. By all means, dearie, continue to ignore the man behind the curtain.[/li][li]He watches it once, then deletes it. Much of the porn downloaded by men does indeed end up in the bit bucket. But rest assured, somewhere there is a cache of cherished and treasured porn. This is probably not a “modest” collection, unless he is a man of exceeding and discriminating taste, or one who is likely to, say, clean out his closet of all the clothes he doesn’t fit any more on a regular basis. In fact, unless he is young enough to have only experience Digital Porn, he probably has some VHS tapes or DVDs or magazines tucked away somewhere as well. (Possibly even in a safety deposit box, as someone mentioned their brother did.)[/li][li]Normally he downloads it in the middle of the night when he’s bored. Hoo boy, where to start. Let’s see: “bored” isn’t exactly the right word, unless he’s some kind of porn addict (and they do exist). And if he’s doing this in the middle of the night with your knowledge, he’s probably got crawler 'bots trawling the 'net, including USENET that you thought everybody forgot about but still sees a flood of traffic on alt.binaries.movies.erotica.your-kink-here types of newsgroups. Finally, I suggest you try putting a light film of grease on the keyboard and see where the “wear patterns” are. My guess: the ALT and TAB keys see a lot of action when you pop in and out of the room.[/li][/ul]
Now, none of this means he is deviant or doesn’t find you attractive, or want to have you on the kitchen counter right now while your mutual friends are in the living room waiting for the tray of “pigs in a blanket” that you’re supposedly getting ready. It’s more like spending time in the batting cage or taking free throw practice.
On the other hand, if you notice a pattern in the “exposed porn” he’s downloading with respect to certain actions or outfits, well, it might be a hint.
