This is from a friend here on lit who didn't want credit. Some suggestions for hiding your lit activities (seems appropriate for a few of here):

If you don't want someone in your house to know you are on Lit :


1. No matter what browser you are using, don't let it gather history information

IE : Tools menu, Internet Options, General Tab, History, Days to keep pages in history--set to zero.

Also, click the Clear History button on this dialog before after exiting a website, other wise it stays in the Back buttons Cache while you have that instance of IE up.

Best, use Firefox 1.5 (mozilla.org)

In Firefox, Tools menu, options, Privacy, History, set days to zero

You should click control-shift-delete to periodically clear your Back button cache


2. Never, ever surf Lit when wife is in the house

3. Never, ever leave Lit up or the Back cache occupied when you step away from the computer. How do you know someone might not come home while you have stepped away, or you get an emergency call and rush away leaving it up.

4. Never, surf while drunk. You might disregard the rules above.

5. Consider installing Firefox and using it only for Lit type surfing. Rename its icon to something else. Then don't eliiminate IE's history settings and use it for normal, non-Lit surfing. That way, if anyone checks, they see a history of surfing, but nothing in appropriate.

6. Even having a chat application on the system is dangerious. It lists the accounts you use, so your non-regular, Lit safe one is viewable!

7. Pray, literally pray, your wife never learns about, buys and installs keylogging software.

Minimizing damage if caught

8. Clean out received and sent PM's daily, if not more frequently.

9. Empty Recycle bin on computer frequently

10. Log out of Lit, don't just close browser. That way, if someone else types literotica.com into your browser, your Lit ID does not automatically come up!

11. Never, ever use your real photos as an AV, or even a body part

12. Watch what you say! If someone reads a post, would they recognize it as something you told them at Church Sunday?


Anyone have additions?
 
Create a Windows password-protected user account (Control Panel > User Accounts) as "administrator" and don't share the password.

Select Start > Log Off > Switch User if you leave your computer -- even if just to refill your coffee.

Move folders which SO (or kids) might need to access to the Shared Folders area and password-protect the rest of My Documents under your Windows account. Both Word and Excel offer password protection for documents in addition to the system-wide password protection afforded by Windows.
 
those of you out there in hiding, I don't know how ya do it...

my wife knows about Lit and we have all kinds of issues on occassion about "appropriate behavior". (she is just a wee little bit less open than I am, ya know :rolleyes: ) But while that can be a pain, I just can't even imagine completely hiding...I'd go nuts.

that said, in the interest of a peaceful house, I clear out most of my PM's upon reading now and if ya ever notice that "Bel seems rather proper today" it most likely means someone is home...

I'm going to start following this for other snooping eyes sake, not the wife's...my kids got Daddy's book-loving gene....
 
Or you could just take the 'fuck it' attitude.
Son is 20 and is old enough to make his own decisions.
Tell the wife, well if we had sex more than 6 times a year, i might not spend so much time on a porn board.
Ok so I get cynical .....shoot me.

I don't hide Lit, I just don't share it. I count on my BF not knowing enough about computers to snoop, but that can backfire.

my wife has gone here behind my back, but not recently...

that is why I'd never use an av that identifies me, like a tattoo or something (although you should definitely keep using yours.)

I've only ever used any kind of alt for writing incognito...for here, it is kind of like I have a line to which I'll compromise, but at that line I dig my feet in or just ignore her..

like the rule about how she doesn't want me to flirt with anyone directly...I'm real good at following that huh? :rolleyes:

although I was given permission to flirt with you Carson... ;)

so...what are you wearing?

I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Help?

I could not hide totally either, It would mean I was in a relationship with someone who did not get me and I am done with that sort of relationship!

We do have rules however, and I would say they are pretty easy to abide by.

When I was married and my husband at the time was going on paid sites and bouncing checks for household utilities cause he could not figure out how to balance automatic internet payments into the checkbook, I DID just take the Power cord to the computer to work with me! ( How awful is that?--And only works when you have a desktop computer)

Anyway that was another time....
 
Wife knows, doesn't care about what I do on the computer. Also whats nothing to do with the infernal machines. ;)

Haven't really hidden anything from her, she just never asks. I guess that's what 34 years of marriage will do for you. :D

Truth.

And I get to eat the peanut butter right out of the jar, too. :cool:

But do you also dip the peanut butter in chocolate frosting?

(or am I the only one? :eek: )

Nope ... dip the spoon into chocolate chips.

:D

Didn't know about the frosting, but I sometimes drop chocolate chips down in the peanut butter and fish them out with a spoon. :cathappy:
 
I've never done the chocolate chips, but I have some, so perhaps after the kids go to bed. :D
