Remember back in the day when hiding things wasn’t as easy as clicking “delete history” or browsing in incognito mode? Tell a kid today about trying to find Dad’s Playboy or ‘borrow’ a cousin’s Judy Blume book, and they look at you blankly. (Yes I know Judy Blume isn’t technically porn, but hey. We took what we could get.) These pop culture references are no longer relevant. Jokes about the topic fall flat with anyone under 25, maybe even 30. People stream what they want, when they want it. No subterfuge or secret agent tricks required. Personally, I think they’re missing out.
Redditor eithris seems to agree, and so he poses the question, “What lengths did you go to as a teen to hide your porn?”
He tells of a time when he was 14 or 15 and managed to get his hands on a VHS copy of Debbie Does Dallas:
Now, my mom seemed to have this 6th sense for detecting porn. No matter what I did to hide it, she could find it. I used all kinds of tricks to hide dirty mags and movies. Clever carpentry on the dresser in my room, secret compartments where the paneling was loose in a closet, hiking 6 miles into the woods and burying my stash behind a waterfall in a sealed ammo box, she found them all, every single time.
So I really liked this tape, because it wasn’t a recording of a recording of a recording on a crappy VCR setup. It was the retail version in all its glory. I thought I had the perfect plan to keep it hidden. We had an extensive non-porn movie collection, and I had a TV/VCR in my room and a shelf of movies. So I went and bought an extra copy of one of the movies we already had but didn’t watch all that often, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I removed the tape roll from Indiana Jones and transplanted the porn, put it back together and it worked perfectly.
I stuck “Indiana Jones” on the back of the bookshelf where the movies in my room were, and for almost a year nobody else noticed we had two copies of Indiana Jones.
Things went downhill quickly the day the original Indiana Jones VHS was destroyed and his mother tried to watch his copy.
