If you are living the swinger lifestyle, then there is a good chance you have collected many spicy pictures. Now, the question here is how you can make sure that your private stash is protected from prying eyes. In other words, how can we prevent these sensitive pictures from getting leaked online?
Some swingers are lucky and can openly live a nonmonogamous lifestyle. But there are others who can’t be open about swinging (or simply don’t want their family to see their spicy pics), and this article is for them. If you are the type of person who would rather have this side of your personality private, then you need to take some precautions to ensure that it remains that way. Fortunately, there are several ways to protect your privacy, and they are not quite as complicated as you might think they are.
Here are some examples of things you can do to manage your swinger pictures safely and other bits of data that you would rather not other people see unless you share them.
Check Your Phone’s Settings & Clear Your Cloud
If you like saving your saucy pictures inside your phone, now is probably a good time to check the settings of your phone. There is a good chance that your phone has a way to automatically back up your photos to a cloud storage service like iCloud (iOS) and Google+ (Android).
These cloud services are supposed to be convenient. This is a way for you to preserve your photographs so that you have backups of them in case your phone gets accidentally wiped, reset, broken, or even stolen. This way, you can still have access to your pictures using your computer or another phone. Although this is quite convenient, it can also be scary.
There have been quite a lot of times when these cloud services have been hacked, and their contents leaked out to the world. One of the most widely-known incidents was back in 2014 when a 4Chan user was able to hack into the iCloud servers and download hundreds of nude pictures and videos, including those of famous celebrities. These pictures were circulated all over 4Chan, and later on Reddit, where it was named “The Fappening.”
Although the issues that made The Fappening possible have been patched by now, there is always a possibility of it happening again. It would be best to protect yourself against this by turning off the auto photo backup on your phone. You can find it by searching through your phone’s settings.
However, you should not stop at just turning off the automatic backup feature. You should also check your cloud service for any pictures and videos that may have already been uploaded earlier. Depending on how often you take pictures, you may need to sort through hundreds manually, maybe even thousands of photographs. It can be tedious, but it is necessary if you do not want them to get leaked out to the public accidentally. It is also a good idea to securely compartmentalize your swinger pics so they don’t accidentally show up in your vanilla photo galleries like the one that plays on your big screen TV during your big family parties.
Store Your Pictures Offline and Externally
Now that you know how risky it is to store your pictures online, the only safe option that you have is to save them on an external hard drive. This is quite safe because you can simply unplug the hard drive from your computer, and it will never be accessed by other people because there are no connections they can exploit.
The only risk you will be running when you are using offline storage solutions is that it is still possible to lose the data when the hard drive and the storage medium get physically damaged. However, you can remedy this by keeping backup copies on another separate hard disk.
To further increase the security of your forbidden pictures and other media, you can encrypt the contents of your hard drives. Use encrypting software to lock your photographs and videos behind a password. These types of software essentially scramble the data, making them impossible to open unless you have the password to unscramble the files and allow you to open them.
Encrypting will add another layer of protection for your photos. This means that even if someone does get hold of your hard drive, they will not be able to open the contents if they do not know what your password is. This is a good way to protect your family from seeing stuff they don’t want to see in case you suddenly pass away.
With that said, when you are setting up a password, you need to ensure that you are using a strong password. It should not be something that other people can easily guess. This means you must not use your birthday, anniversary date, name, and other weak passwords.
Create a unique and hard-to-guess password. Something that is not even a real word is best. However, you need to either remember it or write it down, so you can keep it safe.
Edit Your Photographs and Videos
If you truly want to protect your swinger privacy, it will take a lot of work and a bit of photo and video editing skills. What you need to do is edit your pictures and videos so that any identifying marks are removed.
For instance, you will need to crop out your face or blur it out using simple photo editing software. This means you need to go through your entire collection of pictures and edit them to the point that no one will be able to identify you. To save time, you can simplify the editing by cropping out anything identifying or pasting a sticker over it to overwrite things like your face.
If you have to go through hundreds of photos, then so be it. Your privacy and anonymity are more important than you have to edit your pictures one by one.
FACIAL RECOGNITION DANGER – A single picture of your face & not even your entire face, can be used to uncover your online presence, including your Facebook profile, your professional LinkedIn profile, & any business website that shows your face. There are free AI websites providing reverse searching using facial pictures. Here are two sites that are horrifyingly good at it – pimeyes.com & facecheck.id
Use Secure Messaging Apps When Sharing Pics
What this means is that you should not use any of the mainstream social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, among many others. The problem with using these online services is that they would temporarily store your pictures on their servers even if you deleted your initial message, which means someone could still get to your saucy images.
Instead of using mainstream apps, use encrypted messaging apps like Telegram or Signal. These apps encrypt your messages while in transit and will only decrypt them once it reaches the receiver.
In addition, you can set your messages to self-destruct after a set amount of time so you can add another layer of security. However, this is not a foolproof way to keep your pictures from getting leaked, as the receiver can still take a screenshot or record the screen for videos. This is why it is still important that you do other methods to protect yourself.
Share Your Content With People You Trust
The most important thing that you need to do to keep your swinger pictures safe is to only share them with people whom you trust. This means that you should not give away your pictures to anyone who asks for them, especially if you only just met them. You can never tell who will be leaking your pictures, so it is best to be suspicious of everyone. Carefully vet new swinger connections before sharing with them.
If the person asks for unedited/uncensored pictures, then it will be up to you if you feel comfortable. However, it will always be best to tread on the path of caution and not agree to send unedited even if you think you can trust the person. Think of your safety first. Real swingers are more interested in real-life fun and won’t pressure you for naked pictures.
Collecting and sharing saucy pictures may be part of the swinger lifestyle, but that does not mean you should toss caution to the wind. Suppose you don’t want your swinger lifestyle to go public. In that case, you will need to take the necessary measures to ensure that your risqué pictures and videos are always kept safe and inaccessible to anybody except yourself.
Summary
These methods of safely managing your swinger pictures are only some of the basic things you must do to keep yourself safe. Think twice before acting once to minimize the chance of regretting something. Each day our privacy becomes harder to protect. Make sure to stay up to date with new technology as it comes out.
