In the event of my untimely death

[tanyachrs]

When I was much younger I was once suicidal enough to pack up all my porn and sex toys and throw them in a dumpster so that my family wouldn't find them after my death (and boy did I miss it all once it turned out I wasn't going to kill myself after all).

I've never gotten so drastic again, but the thought of what my family might find when going through my stuff has never completely left my mind and the recent thread (not that I believe the premise, but it's a good conversation starter) about that guy's mother finding his incest files has brought it to the forefront again.

I've taken a few steps to try to prevent my family from being exposed to the "worst" of it. Not that I'm ashamed of anything I do or have done but I don't think grieving parents or siblings need to explore their loved one's kinks at exactly that moment.

What I've done with my writing is put it in a folder clearly labelled "Porn." I figure it gives them fair warning that they might want to skip that folder and if they choose to look, well, they chose to look. I've got a few other protections in place using friends who aren't as likely to be scarred by what they see.

Anyone else thought about what will happen to their porn or toy collection in the event of their untimely death?

I think about it all the time. I can't wait to see their faces.

The recent thread in the GB on this exact subject reads like a paraniod schizophrenic's diary.

Nope. Porn collection is small and rather vanilla. No toys.

I have a friend who's a rather conservative person and Ebay seller. Upon going through her rich elderly grandfather's estate found tons of gay porn DVD's and videotapes. She sold some of them on Ebay with this big description about how they were from a family estate. She kept some though, but I'm sure she doesn't tell anyone that her dead grandpa got her into gay porn!

I used to worry about this a bit, but I concluded that I'll be dead and won't give a rip, so fuck 'em if they don't like what they find. Yes I was a sexual being and yes this reveals certain tastes. Deal with it. Or don't - I really, really won't care then.

I don't have any toys, but I have 1,000s of short video clips on my home PC. I don't care if anyone finds them (so long as it isn't one of my sister's children, but they aren't allowed in my room anyway).

I wouldn't even care if they found my incest stories. I don't tend to hide stuff, though I don't go sharing it either

I have to say I'd be a bit embarrassed when they find my collection of used dental floss

Or when they find my teeth.

Or when they find my teeth.

BTW what do you do with your old dental floss? Just curious

Never used it.

This gives me a good idea for a story: "Grandma's Anal Beads."

You can either throw it in the rubbish bin(like most other humans) or make a stylish butt floss bikini.

you found that pattern in the same place as the one for the tampon christmas angel, didn't you?

yes, in the trash, where I find everything!

 

[Trinique_Fire]

Not worried. Both my parents and my siblings know I'm freaky. My mother hates it and as a result I'm a loser and a waste, but my dad doesn't mind...he just doesn't want to read the personal stuff, lol.

If they find it they find it. I'll be watching them from where-ever and laughing to myself.

It's not just after my death I worry about. It's when our son comes home for Xmas. I end up saving everything I want onto disc, and deleting what I don't want. Problem is sorting out the mess in the New Year, particularly the stories I'm working on.

The same when my cousins visit. All my stuff ends up in passwod protected folders within folders within folders... buried deep. I still haven't retrieved it after they went back in September.

eta: If I die, my parents won't know what to do with my password protected folders. I hope they delete them, or send them to my friend who knows all my passwords just in case. If they somehow crack the passwords, they will know I'm a sexual (and perverted) being. I hope they won't freak out.

Working where I do I think about this from time to time. I'm not overly worried. First off it would take something catastrophic for anyone other than my wife to become involved.

If something like tht did happen, well I'm still not overly worried for a couple of reasons. The first is that my parents know I write Porn. How do they know? I accidently let it slip one day.

My mother had received an E-Mail one day from a member of her support group. Included in that letter was my story Learning to live. She read it and was impressed by it. She pointed it out to me when my wife and I came by to visit. My comment was I knew about that story. They asked how I could know about it and I ended up confessing to writing it. That led to my father looking for more of my stories. They laugh about it. (They even sent a couple of them to my Uncle who is a published Author with multiple Best Sellers.)

As for my wifes toys, well my father is the one who soon after we got back together gave her something he had found in an Antique Shop on Merry Olde Cape Cod. (I don't dare ask how much he paid for it.) Think an anatomicaly correct, eight inch long, highly stylised and intricately decorated Phallus made from a single piece of Ivory. My mother is the one who went to a sex shop with my wife in Provincetown and watched as she picked up a couple of toys, and it is my mother who has been known to bring back certain outfits fo my wife from her trips to Germany.

Now my brother an sister. I'm sure they would be completely scandalised by my wife and myself. (Not like they aren't now. )

That might be why my parents have in their wills that their house is o be sealed until my wife and I can get up there to go through it before my brother and sister can have a chance. (Hey I know my parents have sex, I seem to have inherited my horniness from the both of them.)

How do you password protect a folder? My computer will only let me do it to individual files... or mybe I'm just blind

As for me, I imagine my parents would be mildly shocked. I've told my sister that I'm probably bi, but she hasn't wanted to talk about it at all, so I'm not sure what she thinks about that. It would be worse for my boyfriend, whose parents are fairly conservative and catholic. I'd hope his aunt finds our damning evidence if we both die. The last time we came to visit her, she definitely asked if we wanted some of her and her husband's old porn, since the collection took up too much space. I'm sure a few floggers wouldn't shock that lady too much.

Being the sort that's always been pretty proud of and open about my life... I wouldn't be put out for my loved ones to find my porn or associated things.

Oh, um, I zip them first. WinRAR is my friend.

I'm not totaly worried. my mother is aware i read smut, and she knows i write, so i'm sure she assumes it's all smut anyway. my father and i have actually had a discussion (he was very drunk and the theme was "angel, there are some things you're gunna find out when i die, and i'd rather you know now so you don't wonder why there's a big black box of toys and psuedo medical equiptment in the closet.") about all that. apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. at all. (of course, i'm not as blatant as my father and his hand-made branded leather keychain that says MASTER in old english...) he even gave me a riding crop, and some web addresses, but thats as far as the discussion has gone. so i trust him to turn a blind eye.

i don't have alot of other toys, besides some cuffs and various whips, etc. i have one little vibe. and no actual porn. i'm slightly worried about the pinup shots of me on my computer, but i don't think they'll dig that far. and everyone else that would be digging through my crap in the unlikely event of my demise (i don't intend to die) will probably just snicker and reminisce.

Strange. Went to a Steeleye Span concert in Bradford last night, and as part of their encore they sang 'The Song Will Remain'.
It's the song I want playing when my coffin rolls into the flames
