    I went to our desktop to download an adult film (ofcourse, gay) and I was about to leave my house. I thought of letting it download until it gets finished so I secured the user account with a password and left. When I got home, I was shocked when the account was opened by my brother and I am 100% sure he saw what went on. He deleted the file (it wasn't complete). My brother is not yet saying something. I don't know what to do anymore. Help! What should I do? I'm a shy type of person in the family. :frowning2:

    Well...if the file was deleted and you didn't do it, then yes, unless you know of someone else who could have been on the computer your brother will have seen it. If he hasn't said anything yet, then that's good. You may not have to do anything about it other than brush past the awkwardness. If he brings it up with you, just tell him what's on your mind: are you curious? etc. he may understand. If he doesn't bring it up, and you're not ready to bring up the issue yourself, then don't do anything. Just be more careful when you download pornography!

    Okay, you can do one of two things. Deny it or don't mention it until he does OR you could confront him and ask him why your computer was unlocked when you returned. I'm sure he looks at porn on his own computer, so why shouldn't you? Don't worry about what he saw, it was non of his business to do so. He might be really understanding about it too.

    I remember when I was using our old desktop (family) computer & searching for images of Jason Dundas (/drool). I forgot to clear the search history, & my sister jumped on & was like "Who's he..?". I just told her I was looking up Getaway celebrities & she hasn't suspected anything since :wink: (Although I do plan on telling her these holidays, probably).

    Well, I think it's pretty obvious that he knows now. May I suggest you to keep an eye on his behaviour in your regards? I mean, if you noticed a different behaviour when you guys talk, or when you guys meet on the way to the bathroom, etc., and he tries to avoid you, well, I guess he'd be a bit shocked in that case. But if he's still the same, if you guys keep talking or doing things together, he smiles, he laugh, etc... Then he's just trying not to pressure you and waiting for you to tell him! :slight_smile: But, since I don't know you personally, I don't know for sure :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: x

    Good luck :grin: I hope it goes alright :slight_smile: x
