Mines in a folder cleverly named…not porn so where do you hide it? do you hide it? ---

I don’t hide it anywhere - my DVDs are on a bookcase next to my computer. But I now watch 95% of stuff online, so yeah, what **An Gadaí** said. ---

Toys and a few dvd’s under the bed in a shoebox among other shoeboxes. I only need to make sure everything’s tucked away when guests come over. If my building manager were to come in unannounced or when I’m not home, she may find something she doesn’t want to see on the coffee table! ---

Downloaded stuff is on an external hard drive which stays at home when the laptop gets toted elsewhere, DVDs and LDs shelved with their non-porn counterparts. ---

Mine is in “My Ebooks”. Hostile Dialect, Hostile Dialect, Narcissist ETA: My actual ebooks are in a folder called simply “ebooks”. ---

I could have sworn I just posted this, but it’s not here. I don’t really download porn, I watch videos online mostly. I do have a few dvds out with the rest of my movies in the living room. I also have a couple of AdamMale and AdamEve catalogs in the living room and kitchen, mixed in with the Michigan Bulbs and Fingerhut catalogs. ---

Buried pretty deeply (heh) in a series of folders, the final one being called simply Other Files. I also back them up on my external drive. ---

We had this thread a while ago, and a poster said he kept his in a folder on his desktop clearly marked: “PORN”. That way, anyone snooping couldn’t say they weren’t warned. 🙂 " I accidentally clicked on this icon called Porn, and… and…:gasp:: it had all this smut in it! Care to explain, mister?" That had something elegantly unapologetical about it that I thought was refreshing, and I’m a girl. ---

The normal stuff I keep in e:\backup\old (which is where I also keep non-porn pictures and videos). The other stuff is hidden on an external HD in an image file that needs to be mounted with Daemon Tools. ---

External HD, plainly named. For those that “hide” it, why? Are you hiding it from a specific person, or just because porn is traditionally hidden? ---

I have two discs next to my TV, but obstructed from plain view by a stuffed animal. I almost never watch it, though, and usually watch clips on redtube. ---

On DVDRs with cleverly obscuring labelling. For example, _Pirates_ and _Pirates II_ is on a disc labelled _Arrrrrrrrr!-rated Pornography_. When I used to live with room-mates, I labelled all my porn as though they were out-of-date operating systems. “Ah, Red Hat 4.1. Filthy whore.” **Phatlewt** , I guess partly to save some embarrassment all around, and partly because I don’t want anyone borrowing my porn. ---

On a couple of encrypted volumes I keep on my 2nd hard drive at home. They all need TrueCrypt and my password to get at them. They are named, “Phone Numbers.iso”, “Phone Numbers 2.iso”, etc. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-where-do-you-keep-your-porn/486933.md?page=2)
