For those who didn’t know, sometimes people read or watch pornography. This fact has been a bane for parents and paranoid significant others for decades. Since the invention of the computer, however, it’s no longer been necessary hide copies of Playboy underneath mattresses or in secret compartments. One need not have the skills of Batman or a Bond villain to hide their personal collection. An inconspicuous file name placed far away from regularly used programs is all anyone needs to keep personal files from prying eyes.

That fact, however, has never kept prying eyes from being curious. The “Find His Porn” app preys on that curiosity and fear for a quick 20 dollars per use. It promises, specifically, that women can find their husband or boyfriend’s porn collection secretly with one use. It’s goal to “empower women everywhere” while invading the personal space of their significant others already seems pretty insulting and dubious, but it also aims to charge 20 dollars for something that may be done easily for free with some file search keywords. Research is being done as to what exactly Find His Porn does by the writers of Read Write Web, but it seems to be nothing users couldn’t perform for free. While it doesn’t seem to leave Malware or viruses, the site seems to take complete advantage of the computer clueless.

While every relationship is different and personal, Find His Porn really isn’t the solution it claims to be. Even the video explaining how it works has been pulled from its website. Those curious as to what their significant other is reading or watching may want to look elsewhere to find out. A quick chat, for example, is easy and free.
