I sure as hell would. It's not quite the quality of the..material.
It's the quantity. I tend to be a hoarder of stuff.

Oh, the quality is pretty embarassing too.

Nah, I don't keep pornography saved anywhere. Incognito tab use abound too.

They might find a couple odd pages, but not a huge load (heh) of material.

Meh. Not like it's their business in the first place. I'd be more pissed if they have something wrong with anything there than embarassed. It's MY computer.

I think it's more "you're [or "I'm", in this case] the only person who knows that an internet connection is a finicky and unreliable thing, and wishes to be prepared in case it ceases to exist".

To answer your original question: no, not really. There are some old text files containing story fragments and RPG campaign elements I'd rather certain people not see, but the porn? Why would I hide that? Porn gives people jobs, increases the push for technological development (do you honestly think we'd have multi-terabyte hard drives and constant wireless internet connections if it weren't for the dedicated porn consumers?), and, by enhancing masturbation, enables the relief of sexual frustration without the risks and downsides of sex. This is not something to be ashamed of.

Sure. I keep my porn very well secured and out of sight. All they'll see is a crapload of games and anime and they wouldn't be surprised.

They might wonder about my folder full of bird reaction images though...

Yes but only because I'm embarrassed of everything. I don't actually have anything particularly bad on my hard drive and I don't watch porn so that isn't an issue. I just get weird with people I know even knowing what music I like and they might see some unfinished artwork, THE HORROR!

They might wonder about some of the web/digital comics I have saved or some of my mods and screenshots but that's it.

Depend how good they are at accessing the folders but in saying so the majority of the NSFW materials are in my portable flashdrive. Now if it was a thread about being embrrased to show my portable harddrive/ flashdrive to my parent/ friend then it will be a different story.

If they're inconsiderate enough to open the bookmark folder labeled 'porn' without asking me, I don't see why I should be embaressed, thats on them.

My history and forms both auto clear and my bookmarks just go to some specific sites for when I feel a bit frisky. So no harm there.

All of the stuff I save of an embarrassing nature are on a hidden trucrypted partition, so I'm covered.

Edit: It's the satin and PVC sissy style stuff I have in my closet and dresser that would be more embarrassing to have friends and family find.

It would probably bore them, unless they like staring at meshes and other concept art. That and my collection of games and anime may raise an eye, but I know how to hide the, uh, explicit ones.

Hmm. I don't think there's anything risque on my hard drive, but there's definitely a few poems I don't want anybody reading.

Well they're not nudes but I am into some....interesting things so I'd rather have the thing microwaved after I die.

No. I'm kind of OCD when it comes to my electronic devices. And I'd never put porn or anything like it on my PC even if I watched porn. Which I don't since 2009 or 2010.
