Watching porn at work

[Nergal]

 

Many people nowadays like bringing their laptops and phones to their places of work. What they do with them is entirely different from work.  Majority of them are men who like watching online videos while at work. Most companies tend to restrict their employees from accessing the internet unless it is for business purposes,  but people still find some ways of liberating their computers and catching some nice old smut. How they manage to do that without getting caught is a totally different story altogether. Some do get caught, and this simply means the end of a successful career.

Do many people watch porn at work?

Well, it is not easy to tell at first because is a divisive and incredibly charged topic which cuts right through the moral and social fabric in any given society. It means there is little information regarding sex (and porn for that matter). Subsequently, not many people are willing to admit that they actually watch porn at their places of work. Surveys conducted to establish just how much porn is watched in offices tends to have varying results. But the truth of the matter is that majority of men, and a large minority of women enjoy some smut when they should be working on their spreadsheets.

Why do people watch porn at work?

The fact that people cannot get their eyes off porn even at work begs for the question, why would they watch porn in the office? It sounds easier to watch it in the bedroom.  Well, a lot of people watch porn for sexual gratification. Like we all know, there is really no appropriate place to have sexual thoughts.  But we agree that having sexual thoughts and deciding to watch porn in your workplace are two different things. I’m not even talking about what to tell your colleagues if they find out, but the amount of risk taken. A lot of people have been fired for doing that.

I spoke to a few of my friends in an attempt to find out why anyone would watch porn at their work when the best place to do that seems to be the confines of your house. One friend told me that in their workplace, a guy was fired from their job because of watching a porn DVD continuously for 6 hours with the screen maximised. Another used to break in at night to watch porn from the office computer when it should have been easier to do it from home. Apart from risking their jobs (which they both lost), these fellows were also misusing company resources. But why?

There seems to be a fascination with watching porn at work. At first, it’s thrilling, but like the case of the two friends, it escalates to a regular compulsion which can be quite hard to get by. I think doing something that is considered inappropriate (if not downright illegal) creates its thrills.

While that might be the case for some, others watch porn casually and occasionally because they are bored. Well, who can blame them? There is no fun in doing spreadsheets the whole week. A little break is good for your brain. And what better way to get away from that office boredom than to watch some hardcore smut? Indeed, that seems to be the general stance of the majority of people who do it. Some may consider that a high level of unprofessionalism but ThePornDude is not here to ridicule. Just make sure you don’t expose yourself to nosy colleagues and end up losing your job.

Watch porn without getting caught

If you are bored and want to catch some nice porn action, what should you do to avoid being caught and risking immediate termination? Here are some tips from ThePornDude that will enable you to enjoy some NSFW and get away with it.

1.   Be good to the IT guy

Even if this means buying him a couple of beers every weekend, just make sure you befriend yourself to the tech-savvy guys who understand a thing or two about manipulating computers.  Ask him to create an exception for social networking and website filtering rules. You may even infect the system with some malware and nicely ask the guy to turn a blind eye. If you are extra nice, he may be able to explain just what “web browser proxy” is all about and why you need to start with it.

2.   Use your cell phone

Why had you not thought of it to begin with? The solution is right in the palm of your hand. Cell phones are the easiest way to watch your favourite smut videos during working hours without compromising company data and getting yourself canned in the process. The only thing you probably need to worry about is the picture quality which means you will have to get yourself a good phone. That can’t be too much of a problem.

3.   Use an incognito mode

This is present in every modern browser. Incognito mode (also known as private browsing) means none of your browsing history will be saved. Even better, you should install a separate browser which you will only be using for your porn watching purposes or set the incognito/private browsing as default.

4.   Clear your browsing history just in case

This goes without saying. Although this move may be redundant if you are using an incognito mode, at times someone may send you a file that opens in your browser. I strongly advise you to visit your browsing window and manually delete your browsing history before you find yourself in a compromised situation with your boss.

5.   Use your headphones or mute the sound

It takes a pretty hard-core individual to watch porn in the office. Luckily, I’m not here to judge. If you feel the urge to go all in, make sure you mute the fucking sound or better still, use your headphones. This way, you avoid any mishaps if you accidentally turn on the volume.
