Our Hotwives

My wife found a long forgotten stash of her high school and college mementos buried among a box of miscellaneous items that was stowed in our garage. Among the normal adolescent/young woman stuff were a few extremely provocative photographs of her. There were no nudes of her, but her bikini photos taken while she was at college parties spelled out what happened later. That woman could wear a bikini. She's always had a problem keeping her clothes on when she was shitfaced drunk.

I scanned her photos to a USB drive.

While I transferred her college photos to a USA drive, I found other USB drives that contained nudes and porn video of my wife that were taken when we met. She obviously did and still does have a huge porn star fantasy. She loved to pose and perform while on camera. She would have been a hugely successful porn star.

As long as USB drives containing naked photos of my wife and extremely graphic porn video of her remain hidden in our home, there's a chance our nosy adolescent kids will find them. One of our kids found our hidden safe!!!

We never want out kids to find out that their angelic mom is a bedroom porn star. As bad or worse, would be porn videos of my wife on the 'net, which is why we have never allowed anyone to take naked photos of my wife or shoot porn videos of her with their devices. Brad has never asked my wife if he could take photos and videos of her. I admire the respect Brad has for my wife.

We have way too many computers. I have a work and personal cellphone. My wife has a cellphone. She returned her cellphone after she quit her job. I can remember waking up and searching through cellphones and computers for images we had taken and failed to delete. Now when I photo or video her, it's only with my cellphone that is not paired to any of our too many computers or cellphone network.

My plan is to curate photos and videos and arrange them in chronological order, save them to a Le Cie external hard drive, and save a copy to a secure cloud for easy access. Based on what I've read, Proton has the most secure cloud storage. According to what I've read, it has never been hacked. That may or may not be true. I'm still in the research phase.

BTW, I did buy an excellent photo/video editing program. I considered editing photos and porn video of my wife. After thoughtful consideration, I decided to keep them as they were taken. They are accurate representations of her at a precise moment in time.

How do you guys stow nudes and porn videos? Does anyone have a cloud that they could recommend that has been as close to 100% secure as possible.

I could hold onto them for you for safe keeping

One option is an encrypted external hard drive. WD and others have utilities for setting up password encryption. That's probably the best option if you want to have plenty of storage space.

If storage space isn't a big issue and you don't mind paying a few bucks, Kingston's secure flash drives are even better. I have two IronKey drives that are over 20 years old and still work great.

Hi Greg_N_Shelly,

Thanks for your informative advice. An encrypted external hard drive sounds excellent.

I have 6 USB 64 GB drives that are full up. Video consumes a lot of GBs.

I want to organize them chronologically and curate some to enhance my wife's expressions and body. Her adorable expressions reveal euphoria she experienced.

Proton is supposedly hacker-proof. Most other clouds have been hacked. Thinking about it reasonably and logically, why would anyone want to hack our cloud storage unless it was random? What would be the probability of a random hack?

I'm most worried about our nosy adolescent kids finding a USB drive containing videos of their angelic mother porn starring. That would be devastating.

I think that your idea of an encrypted external hard drive that's password protected is the best idea.

If you pick up a Western Digital drive, look for the WD Utilities program before using it for storage. It should give you an option to then set up password encryption. I'm not sure about La Cie. I had a La Cie years ago, but don't recall setting it up as a secure drive.

If you want best security, the Kingston flash drives I mentioned are the gold standard and prices have come down the past year or so. A 512GB secure Kingston drive is now $280.

The IronKey epoxy-enclosed models (also made by Kingston) are even better. You can sink an IronKey in a river or drive over it with a tank and the drive works flawlessly. It also uses an internal chip for encryption capable of overwriting the drive if anyone tries to brute force the password. Very secure, but probably overkill unless you're concerned about hostile intel agencies getting their hands on your home porn.

---------------------------------
I just checked and it turns out there's now an IronKey external hard drive (Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy). 2TB SSD drive with IronKey features for $365. This is my pick when I'm ready for my next drive rotation!

We primarily use a dedicated external hard drive for our naughty pictures and videos. It's encrypted and password protected, which has been our commitment to all of our various friends over the years. They know that we'd never intentionally post uncensored content to the internet. The risk is that someone else somehow gets possession of the hard drive (e.g., theft). For that reason, sensitive data at rest must be encrypted. A small number of my wife's private play friends have taken their own pictures and videos of my wife, and a couple of past friends have uncensored vides and pictures. It's not that any of them would ever deliberately expose her or us, but that an unscrupulous repair person or a nosy friend or relative might eventually find them. Our censored/cropped content is all over the internet, so we've taken more risks than others on this forum.

We use a few different drives for different purposes. For our fun content, we use a G Technology G-Drive. These are relatively expensive, but we've found them to be particularly reliable. I avoid built-in encryption technology that comes with some hard drives, and I generally avoid any "user friendly" technology like this. I set up encryption from my operating system, using the disk utility.

The best way to retire an old hard drive involves a sledgehammer and pickaxe. This is true of your home computer and any external hard drive. Take it apart, remove the hard drive, and smash it to pieces. You can recycle the material after you sweep it up from your driveway or garage floor. As a community service to some older members of our church, I once did a drop-in weekend to destroy their old computers for them. I did a demonstration on several of their "totally dead" computers so show how easily I could pull the hard drive and extract the contents.

We do use cloud storage, primarily for sharing content with our friends. For that we use dropbox. We use other cloud storage services (i.e., apple, google) for family sharing cloud storage on apple and google, and we keep an air gap between them. "...never the twain shall meet." We had some near-misses in our younger, more naive days. I don't have experience with Proton, but I've heard positive things about their security.

Side vent: every single software, application, file organizer, and storage service feels like it was designed for -- and by -- teenaged girls. Abject disregard for security, over-sharing, hyper-socialization, gimmicky features, and an archive half-life of about a week. No, I do not want the app to trawl my phone and email contacts, connect all of my various social media accounts, and share my personal information with everyone. Even the services that prioritize security take the approach of "Give us all of your private data and we'll handle it for you, but we're definitely going to fuck it up and expose it to the world." Okay, I'm done shaking my fist at the clouds (pun intended).

I agree with OP about keeping the unedited originals. I've used editing software for censoring and other projects, but when I review the content for my own -- ahem -- enjoyment, I usually stick with the original footage or pictures.

This whole discussion reminded me that somewhere, long forgotten and buried in a footlocker in our basement, are undeveloped negatives of my wife and me when we were both 20 years old. Very explicit. At the time we tried to drop them off an a photo kiosk (younger folks: look it up). The employee returned the negatives to us undeveloped, and with a disapproving look. I probably need to locate and secure those negatives at some point, lol.

Just me being old school or knowing more than average joe about how vulnerable Cloud can be.....would NEVER put any lifestyle private pics n videos on cloud. I would rather save pics n vids on encrypted drives as suggested by some at least if anything were to ever go wrong you have yourself to blame (and this keeps you alert and mindful) rather than some hackers who may get access and choose to put stuff on the internet.
