Why even keep porn? There's enough of it online for free that I don't feel the need to stash any.
If I did, though, I don't think I'd go to great lengths to hide it. Maybe not have it on my desktop in a folder labelled 'KINKY RHINOCEROUS PORN GOES HERE,' but I'm not ashamed of the fact that I enjoy sex and if someone goes snooping they get what they deserve in terms of discomfort etc. Our condoms are in the wide open in the bedroom as well, and I apply the same logic there.
Then again, there's only Magpie and me here usually. She doesn't particularly care for or about porn, and I'm not a big porn guy myself -- I kind of figure that once you get past the taboo nature of it, it's just two (or more) people having sex, and that doesn't usually hold my interest for very long. I'll occasionally look; she knows, and it doesn't bother her as long as it's not out of control. She doesn't at all so far as I know, but I wouldn't really care if she did. So overall we really have nothing to hide.
Hiding porn is a twofold thing. It's for our own comfort, and also for the comfort of those around us. Most people aren't comfortable with such things being out in the open, so we keep up the charade.
