External Hard Drive. out of convenience, I’m the only one using my computer. I am baffled by the people not collecting porn, on the other hand. I like certain actresses in certain scenes and I enjoy watching those more than once. Porn is the one form of artistic expression that’s always reusable. ---

Porn is the one form of artistic expression that’s always reusable. Wow, I am your exact opposite. I consume exclusively amateur stuff (or stuff that purports to be amateur; I’m sure plenty of it is faked), and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever known the name of an actor or actress I was watching. I surf specifically for material I’ve never seen before. ---

I have an unshared computer and a partner who doesn’t object to porn anyway. But what little I have is in a folder called “Metroid Dread”. (Now that _Duke Nukem Forever_ and _Chinese Democracy_ have actually been released.) ---

I don’t really have porn, but I have a movie Netflix told me it didn’t have because it doesn’t carry porn. I keep it in the folder called “movies”. I don’t have many movies, so that seems like enough sorting. I don’t expect anyone to poke around on my computer. And my husband knows I have the movie, unless he forgot. Oh, I one bought a book of, um, erotica, and had a pre-teen son whom I didn’t want to get into it. I “hid” that by giving it to a friend. ---

> [@Sr\_Siete](#): > > I don’t get it. It’s not a procedural tv show. Knowing the ending doesn’t spoil the whole thing. Yeah, I don’t get it either. :smack: In every other medium, I’m a creature of habit. There are plenty of books and (non-porn) films that I’ve read or seen ten times. I’m always down for a _Good Eats_ marathon on a lazy Sunday even though I’ve know every episode by heart. But not with the dirty stuff. I guess I’m weird. 🆒 ---

_raises hand_ I don’t collect it. I do collect a fair amount of beefcake\*, though, and that is in a folder judiciously and cleverly labeled “men”. \*God, how I hate that term and its corollary cheesecake. Yuck-yuck-yuck. I have like six DVDs and they are all super old and probably collecting dust. I am too lazy to look for porn that is appealing to women and even the stuff that is usually sucks anyway (pun unintended). I guess I just don’t like porn all that much. ☹ ---

Don’t hide it. No kids and a wife who is OK with it. Like many others here, I have particular favorites. I like the Tube sites to see new stuff, but there are always particular ones I go back to that have proven, shall we say, _reliable_. At some point, I’ll go through and move all the stuff to one particular external hard drive. ---

I keep it cleverly hidden in a browser folder named ‘Porn Bookmarks’ that has sub folders for the different varieties. No one will EVER find it there I’m sure. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-do-you-hide-your-porn/638385.md?page=3)
