> [@kopek](#): > > Considering the cannons, meat cleavers, and assorted bits and pieces of cars and motorcycles -------- the cousins who have to clean all this shit up when I’m gone aren’t going to worry about some common porn. It’s not the _common_ porn I worry about either. :o Wait, what? > [@DCnDC](#): > > I don’t have anything “bad” in storage. I’ve got internet access, which means I have on-demand 24/7 access to more porn than I could possibly ever watch. There is no need to ever “save” anything; someone else has already done that for me. But then you’re relying on others to keep the videos of your favorite actor/actress/scene for you to view again. See: Traci Lords. ---

There are many [links](https://www.plantdelights.com/products/salvia-regla-huntington-gardens) to [plant porn](http://kordes.us) on my laptop which could prove embarrassing, but I’m addicted and can’t do anything about it. ---

> [@outlierrn](#): > > Does clearing your browser history really hide anything? Asking for a friend. From your wife or parents? Generally yes. From a dedicated law-enforcement grade forensic analysis? Not really. For people who are that concerned about their “pron” collection, generally a VeraCrypt encrypted drive and setting your browser to “delete history on exit” should reduce the risk of awkward whispered conversations at your funeral should you die before getting to your laptop. ---

I have plenty of porn. I doubt any of it will surprise who ever takes care of my stuff. I SAY THE FOLLOWING IN COMPLETE SERIOUSNESS When I do die (I am not a threat to myself or others. But we all gotta go sometime) I’d like the SDMB to put together a thread of memories of me. Each memory should be a completely fabricated story (but with real, mundane details) of how I was the poster’s lover. The thread should then be printed out and presented to my loved ones. ---

> [@GrizzRich](#): > > Folks are answering more about what happens with the computers. But I think that the greater concern might be the stash of paddles/whips/riding crops stored behind the spanking bench and St Andrew’s cross stored in a walk-in closet. > > What’s the plan for THOSE items?! I’m a leather titleholder. My house looks like it. Assuming he survives me, I’d suspect my partner would unbolt the cross from the bedroom floor and take the floggers to his place. And empty the leather closet, and take pretty much every piece of art off the walls. And “adopt” my dog. I don’t really expect any of my family to come all the way out here in any circumstance. And nobody knows the password to my desktop computers. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-clear-my-browser-history-when-you-die/842678.md?page=2)
