Porn users: how valid is my Bf excuse that he 'forgot' his user name on a porn site? Was that said to prevent me seeing his porn use log?

Right this question is slightly different than most porn questions. It is directed at the techies.

My boyfriend told me the site from which he downloaded his porn from, I asked his username. I discovered I could try and find out when he last logged in to get some more porn.

Bear in mind he had already stopped for me by this point.

He signs in and tells me his username, I was annoyed at him signing in because his last log in date got updated so I couldn't see, he said;

"Can you stop being paranoid? I have a set of usernames that I use on different sites. I couldn't remember which of those I used (chrome saved the username in a cookie so I don't have to remember.)''

How can you forget your username? It even says welcome *****

Do you reckon he knew I could see his last login in date so he quickly went to sign in? The story sounds too intelligent for him.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntI believe that your B/F is one saavy dude... who is giving you enough run-around and obsfuscation such that he thinks you will get tired of trying to make heads-or-tails of things and will give up..... Don't (give up)....

Good luck...

ihavetoomanythoughts agony auntI use a huge number of usernames just cause the ones I want are usually taken.

I also use a huge number of email addresses and passwords cause I hate spam. I forget usernames, email addresses and passwords ridiculously often. So yes, you CAN forget.

Now why you think he can't just create multiple accounts on the porn site and log into an inactive account to show his usage history and appease you while having another secret, active account on the side is beyond me. The point is, it is probably incredibly difficult to find out if he is accessing porn. He can get it online, from friends, a video store.

Your relationship is wrought with trust issues and a lack of compromise. If he loves and respects you, he'll reduce his porn usage and ensure he spends quality time with you. If you love and respect him, you'll let him watch porn (but less of it) and won't demand to look at his personal information.

anon_e_mouse agony auntIf he forgot his username and/or password there is usually a "forgot your username/password" on internet sites.

I'm not sure about porn sites but I imagine they're all similar. Like retrieving your username/passwords for anything. They'll send you an email with it.

As for internet history, you can always delete that so that proves nothing.

It could be an excuse as he may still be doing it. Or it might be genuine and he honestly hasn't been on there and has forgotten. No-one here will have a clue.

You're going to have to ask yourself how much of a dealbreaker porn is to you, because he's showing you he isn't giving it up. He's just trying to hide it better to keep you happy without him having to quit.

To be honest, he's an idiot. You don't need an account on a website to watch porn. You can do that without registering. Websites that do require accounts also require money, and that's easily verifiable by going through his credit card records.

Also, take in mind that it's easy to be invisible on the internet. All he needs to do is click the 'incognito' browsing on chrome to make sure his browsing history on those sites isn't recorded. Add a proxy server and he'll be a ghost online.

This question is more of the same in that it's a woman trying to force her man to stop watching porn and he's telling you he doesn't.

The results are pretty predictable.

No I believe he did not use porn after he deleted it which was in December. He logged in in January when asked his username, but what I am saying is, I believe he was covering up the date when he last logged in before he deleted the porn, because as far as what he said he only downloaded it on Thursdays.

"Right this question is slightly different than most porn questions. It is directed at the techies."

Your question is exactly the same as most porn questions and any guy can answer it: Your boyfriend is lying and trying to shift the burden of suspicion and blame onto you

to cover up his porn usage, as most scumbag weasels do when caught red-handed (a most fitting metaphor in this instance).

"Do you reckon he knew I could see his last login in date so he quickly went to sign in? The story sounds too intelligent for him."

If you believe that such a lame self-serving BS story is "too intelligent" for him, then at least one of you must think the other is really REALLY stupid, and I'd have to agree with her or him.

Yeah, he's definitely lying to you. It's up to you what you want to do about it.

I'm not sure what else to say, because I'm not real clear on the situation. Did you ask him to stop using it before, or did he say he wanted to stop on his own? Are you okay with porn use in your relationship? Or is it just his lying about it that bothers you?
