Times that you thought you outed yourself

[TahBu]

Have you ever slipped up, and thought that you had just outed yourself to a friend/family member, but got away with it?

Mine happened not with CP, but with something that would have outed me anyway.

One of my first young celebrity crushes as an adult was Christina Ricci, back in the mid 90's, when she was in her preteen/tween years. There was a picture of her, a black and white pic, where she was wearing a bikini, with her arms up and crossed over her head. This pic was like pouring gas on the fire of my libido, every time I looked at it. I can't remember exactly where the pic was, whether it was on my computer, or I had printed it out and left it on my desk. But, one day, my tween-aged little sister was dropped off at my house, and saw the pic. She asked "Is that Christina Ricci? Do you like her?" I didn't really think before answering "Yeah. She's one of my favorite actresses. And she's really cute", to which my sister answered, "Yeah, she's pretty. I like her too."
The fact that my sister was as young and innocent as she was, definitely saved me that day. If my sister was a teenager, or it was an adult friend or family member that saw it, there would have been some....concerns. Definitely some suspicion at the very least.

This reminds me of a time back in college, where I had to do a presentation in front of the class, and I was using my laptop projecting on the wall. I pulled up my web browser, and for the duration of the presentation, up in the corner, I had this search engine extension that was showing that my last search was about puberty. I noticed half way through, and at that point I figured if I tried to clear it, I would only further draw attention to it. Not a clear sign that I was a pedo, but highly suspicious, especially it had nothing to do with our major. I was so embarrassed, and tried very hard not to show it.

Reading some of these made me remember a time where i came STUPID close to getting caught. I had given a buddy in high school my copy of TOR on a thumb drive. I didnt just copy over a fresh browser or anything. I think because i had specific settings i copied over my files and my browser. I then gave it to him. A week later i was looking through my browser and then remembered how tor browser works. It has its own downloads folder. I wasnt downloading to my pc's downloads folder, i was downloading to an internal downloads folder that i had unintentially copied and shared with my friend. Now why is that a problem? Because inside that folder was a decent amount of cp. None of it was really young kids, mainly of girls that werent that much younger than us, like 10-16 year olds. But still, undeniably cp. My heart sank. My stomach started to turn. Fuck. I thought to myself. I was fucked if he checked that folder. I was so fucked. I couldnt think of any way at this point to get the drive back because i think it was summer break at the time and he was a ways away at his dads house, and he hadnt said anything. So i just waited for that day to come. And it never did. I still to this day dont know how he never discovered it. Maybe he did and just deleted it because the girls were around our age anyways, maybe he masturbated to it too. I have no idea. It was a time where i should have gotten caught but didnt.
