How to Keep Your Erotica Downloads Out of Sight.
Learning how to hide your erotica media files doesn’t have to be difficult.
Depending on how important it is for you to keep your erotica files safe and out of view of others (whether family members, roommates or your spouse/partner), here’s what you can do to keep your “stash” safe and hidden.
Use a Privacy Clearing App
After enjoying erotica, whether online or offline, make sure to use a privacy clearing app to cover any tracks or traces of erotica left behind on your computer, tablet or smartphone. These potential traces include from your web browsing history and items you recently opened as well as from other data left by your operating system and apps such as image viewers or video players.
There are many free open source privacy clearing apps that will do a good job of this. Our favorite is CCleaner - it quickly and easily cleans your computers and other devices of trace information.
Top Tip - As a bonus CCleaner also has a "de-dupe" function. As your erotica media collection grows you can eliminate duplicate items ("dupes") - especially images and short video clips. De-duping finds and culls these duplicate items, not only freeing up space on your storage media, but getting rid of annoying duplicate files saved under different names.
Hide Your Erotica Using Encryption
Although it may sound like overkill, you can also use encryption to keep your erotica stash safe on your computer and your other devices. Encryption apps are very easy to install and use, and some of the best ones are free and open-source.
You could choose to encrypt individual erotica media files, but it’s actually just as easy to encrypt an entire hard drive or removable storage media such as a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive.
Use a One-Stop Solution Tailored Especially for Erotica
You could even combine the two techniques above – privacy clearing and encryption - by using an app especially designed for erotica.
One such solution is HiddenToolbox (NSFW - not safe for work) which uses strong encryption methods to hide images and videos saved on a Windows computer.
But that’s not all. It has built-in web browser and media player apps, all designed to leave behind no traces of what you have been downloading, opening or viewing. HiddenToolbox even hides itself when you close it so no one can even detect whether you have it on your computer. All-in-all, it's well worth its reasonable price tag. Check out HiddenToolbox (NSFW).
