Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for July 19


First of all, I want to thank my readers for their concern regarding the horrendous forest fires here in Canada. Please be assured that we are well away from the actual fires, although the air has been pea soup thick for a couple of days. Unfortunately, a certain president has decided that our fires are a good reason to implement yet more tariffs on all our goods imported by the US. Go figure! Anyway, let's move on.
 
How do you protect your devices from prying eyes?
 
CEM: Someone would have to literally break into my home, and/or hack into my PC to be able to see anything so, I'm not that worried about it. 
 
Dan: I don't do much to secure that kind of material from prying eyes, separate and apart from what I use to protect everything else. My laptop is where I keep almost all such material, and it requires a password or fingerprint access to open.That's really about it. If someone were to get access to my laptop, it would be very easy to stumble on spanking-related material without looking very hard. One browser almost always has tabs open for my blog and the Google mailbox my blogging profile is registered under. There's also a tab open for my Tumblr account, where many of the things I follow are spanking-related.

In addition to my fairly casual approach to guarding my electronic spanking trail, if anyone looked in my bedroom or office closet, they'd find spanking instruments or spanking-related material, and I have a package of old Disciplinary Wives Club videos that I received from one of the co-founders.

So, it wouldn't be hard to find myself "outed" if someone did get a look at my computer or my personal space at home. If that were to happen, at this point I think I would just own up to it and shrug it off. That is a big change from when we started 20+ years ago. Back then, I was very paranoid about anyone learning about this aspect of our relationship. I kept all our spanking instruments, and anything else that was kinky in nature, in a locked trunk, and I did things like posting to my blog only from the Tor browser. Honestly, it was overkill, and I'm at an age where being "outed" would have no impact on anything important, so why worry about it?
 
Jack: The only devise that has such picture is my wife/mommy phone. She has a picture of me facing the wall, with a well spanked bottom. She said she has the picture to remind me to behave and she has shown a few close friends and of course her Mother. To me it is a continuation of the punishment for being naughty, knowing others have seen and worse knowing that my wife/mommy wears the pants in the family.
 
Rosco: Most of my salacious browsing etc. is on my iPad. No one else uses it, but I do usually clear history etc before visiting my kids and older grandchildren. I have a few telling files that are unlikely to be accidentally found.

I have a few things I’ve written on my computer but again they are in folder that nobody would likely stumble onto.

I did get a virus a few years ago and told the tech guy that I’d gotten it at an adult site. I wasn’t embarrassed and figure that happens often.

Again, it’s my kids and grandchildren that I worry about in this regard.

My wife Irene has her own different ways of finding titillation on the internet.
 
Roz: To be honest, I don't do anything above what I do to protect anything anything else. Password and pin protection on my phone and tablet. There is very little chance of anyone else accessing my devices. If anyone should however stumble across something I really don't know what I would say.
 
Red: My computer is password protected, and I rarely have it on when people are in the house. I always watch it turn in sleep mode so a password is needed to get in. The spanking information I have on the computer are buried deep within folders,but now Internet Explorer keeps bringing up files you saved recently. As I am the one that is spanked, I have less fear of us being outed in any way by my computer.
 
Prefectdt: I cannot say that I am too bothered about people seeing the stuff on my computer. I came out years ago and only one person, in my vanilla circle, believed me. Apparently I am not the type. So if any adult saw my stuff, it might help me to be believed. I would not want any children seeing what is on my computer, but there are two codes to keep them out.
 
Wendel: We have one computer that is used for spanking related stuff and nothing else. Personal business, regular surfing and such is done on other computers. The hard drive is encrypted and cannot be accessed if taken out of the computer. The screen locks after 30 seconds of inactivity so there is little chance of anyone seeing anything. 
 
Robert: My wife and I live alone and our computers never leave the house, so we're okay with that. But it's probably important to share that I can only visit sites, blogs, and the like which my wife has pre-approved. When I discovered this one, for example, I immediately sent her the link and asked if I could please visit here regularly. She read it over and, obviously, gave me a thumbs up.

She will look through my browser every week or so (I'm not allowed to clear memory unless I've been banking) and if there's a naughty site I've not been given permission to see, down go my pants/panties and out comes the paddle.
 
Hermione: Like Dan, I am less concerned about being outed now than I was years ago when I was working in an office. We use a desktop computer for our daily activities, and I keep a separate browser just for blogging. Since it's only the two of us, it is not password protected. Our grandchildren are not allowed in the room where it resides. I also have spanking sites on my iPad, which I put away if we have visitors.
