Best App to Store Pics and Videos?
After several of you suggested that I video myself masturbating so I can someday give the videos to my future husband, I’ve fallen in love with the idea more and more.
However, I want to keep it very private and store such files so no one will accidentally see them. I use Google and Gmail for a lot of things, and my photos usually go to Google Drive. I don’t know if people can see them or not; I know that photos from months or even years ago will still pop up on Google Drive.
So, can anyone recommend the best app for taking private pics and videos and keeping it separate from your Google account? I’d probably end up ripping the files off my phone and keeping them on a thumb drive anyhow. Thanks for any advice!
We use Calculator# Photos Videos. There is good news and bad news about this app. About a year ago it stopped working so we lost all our private photos and videos. We had to delete the app and reinstall the app but the picture & videos were lost.
Other users have had this problem but many have not lost any data. We liked the app enough that we reinstalled it & started over.
The data is all stored on your phone so the lost data is safe. For that matter the new pics n videos we’ve stored on it are safe. However, storage on your phone uses a lot of memory. Videos especially eat up memory storage.
We take photos and videos sometimes. But we do them via the regular iPhone camera and then import them to Calculator#. The Calculator# app gives you a way to delete the photos from your regular phone photo vault after the pics are transferred. But then you also need to go into the “Deleted Photos” part of your regular iPhone photos app to permanently remove the sexy videos n pics.
You can take photos & videos directly from the app too. But it is less convenient.
We bought a tripod for cell phones that makes it easy to film or take photos of us. However usually we just take pictures of each other.
I don’t know about filming yourself masturbating. Your future husband might not be comfortable with that. But then again, maybe he would. But I think taking some nude glamour photos of yourself is a good idea.
A year after we married my wife did a glamour photo shoot with them doing the Hollywood-style glamour makeup. When she got home we did a sexy boudoir photo shoot with her in sexy lingerie. Back then we had to use a Polaroid camera.
There are also photography studios that do boudoir photo shoots with you In lingerie or/& nude.
I think nude or semi-nude or even photos in lingerie are healthy to show off your beauty – even just for yourself. I would think that your future husband would be comfortable with that, and happy that you did the photos.
One thing that glamour photos show is that there is beauty we have that maybe we don’t usually see.
I hope this was helpful.
I'll look it up. Is it compatible for an Android? I don't have Apple products.
Short answer: None.
Anything you create with a phone, camera, or other electronic device is accessible by "others." People have been led to naively believe they have privacy in their electronic devices. They don't, no matter what claims are made about "privacy policies" and encryption.
Saying that, you do not have anything that four billion other women don't have [wink].
Most people on this site identify as Christians, and Christians generally believe in the Bible. The Bible says God is the god of everything. He sees everything and knows everything. It also says Jesus will be the one who judges each of us. It's in the Book, like it or not.
I have stopped worrying about what other people think; I only care what God thinks. He made us, he made our sexuality, and he expects us to enjoy it just as we enjoy seeing a sunset or tasting an apple. As long as we do things his way, I believe we are fine.
My suggestion is as long as you take reasonable precautions to keep eyes from seeing it that do not wish to see it or should not see it, go ahead and enjoy your life. Label it "private," provide a generic notice about the type of content, and then leave any decision to sin to other people. You are not responsible for them, provided you give reasonable notice.
You sure do ask good questions. I love your attitude.
Thanks! I love having a place to ask stuff like this.
Yeah, it's hard to keep things safe and private today, but I like your view that if we are honoring Jesus, we need not be ashamed of things we're doing. Other people have to realize that we all don't have the exact same standards. I'll keep that in mind. I'm trying to get more open and joyful in my attitude towards sexual stuff, though I remain discreet.
We save our intimate videos and photos in Notes and lock them. They can be open only by using our fingerprint.
I use an app called photo vault and store the same type of videos and photos you’re talking about and feel confident with the app. As a man I enjoy making the occasional video of myself masturbating and was never sure what to do with them after.
Please let us know what you decided on, and happy videoing!
First, let me say that videoing yourself for your future husband is phenomenally sexy.
Second, I think the others are right in that there’s no such thing as totally “safe”. My suggestion would be to go with a camera or recorder that is not connected to the internet. Then you could store the camera or files in a lockable box.
Lastly, I think undeservinggrace has a point. You’re not doing anything wrong, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
That is so strange, I had the same thought a few days ago during the full moon, 16-18 Oct. Wondering if it's like some general spiritual message downloaded to us singles. I don't feel comfortable doing it though, so I ended up writing future letters to my divine hubs. Also, spiritually told him if he masturbates and wants to dedicate videos for me I am 1000% going to like it so up to him.
Back to your question, if I did record however, I wouldn't let it upload onto Google Drive – way too risky, especially since reminders pop up and so easy to accidentally see those reminder messages in public. I would just video it then bluetooth it to my laptop and drag it into an external hard drive (need to buy one first), then when the time is right and we are married, just gift the hubs the entire hard drive. 😉
LLL. I use something called PV. It’s in the Apple Store. Seems to work good

We use ivault for all of our "top secret stuff. The icon looks like a system file so no one will ever have a clue.
There are different categories including web links and notes. We just started storing any hot links like any porn we watch together .toy sites..lingerie sites etc. If you browse through ivault it doesn't go on your normal web history. .
The video idea is super hot LLL for future hubby and for yourself to watch as well.
We used to just send each other hot pics and then started taking hot pics of each other in the bedroom but recently started getting big with videoing some of our bedroom adventures and it is so hot to watch again. Also knowing we are on camera gets us so horny as well. Get your self a headband phone / camera holder ..definitely fun to experiment with.
As others have said, I wouldn't trust any* 3rd party app for Android or iPhone, even if they claim to be "secure" or "private". If you're using an Android phone, you could try the steps detailed here: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/10694388?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid and if you're using an iPhone, you could try these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/104987 . If you're going to stick with storing this content on your phone, I would personally stay with the option of having a hidden and secured area on the phone detailed above as well as making sure that you have multi-factor (two ways to confirm your identity when logging in) set up for your Google account/phone and/or iCloud/iPhone, that way, someone can't get into those accounts via a web browser as easily and access your photos/videos. *For someone who's very tech savvy, there are a couple options to host your own Dropbox-style service and mobile app that syncs with a computer at home but can take a lot of work and can present a lot of challenges/concerns as well.
[Editor's note: MH usually doesn't allow direct links to outside sites, but these have been vetted, and are relevant to the discussion, so we're allowing these ones.]
Thank you all for the advice and ideas! I think what I'm going to do, at least for now, is use my old phone (which no longer has service) just for the camera, charge it, and keep pics and vids on there. Since it's deactivated, I assume it's not connected to the internet, Google, or anything else. Herhubby, I will look at the Google photos link you posted to make sure.
A quick suggestion: Make sure the old phone can no longer log into your wi-fi. If it can, then it is still on the internet.
Sorry I'm late to the conversation! I also think it's an incredibly sexy idea to make videos for your future husband, but also something like the suggested boudoir photo shoot would be a wonderful touch. I've experimented with pictures and video myself but nothing too drastic yet. I think that you're pretty wise in using an old phone that no longer has service, that's a good call and I would echo the concerns about storing anything online in the Cloud. My suggestion would be to get away from phone technology altogether for storage (of course a DSLR would give better quality for filming anyway, not that it's worth the investment for that purpose alone) but storing videos of this sort on a hard drive hidden somewhere might be the safest option. I would assume that with all the writing you do you already own a computer?
Yes, I have a laptop. And I do have hard drives, so that is an option if I want to just download everything from the old phone.
I don't know if you saw my additional comments to our exchange about me emailing that other guy, but I just wanted to let you know that nothing came of that and I'd still be interested in talking to you. I checked out the Aneros website, so if you still comment on there, I'd be glad to connect with you.
I did, and I guess you haven't seen MY additional comments. 😀 But that sounds great, I'd love to connect.
What an interesting conversation. I don’t have opportunity to be here often but always learn something helpful- and so encouraged by the openness and respect. Thank all of you! Appreciated.
Question. What is the Aneros website referred to please.
Also anyone aware of songs of believers website?
Just store them in a folder on your desktop
I think I was one of the people advising you to record yourself masturbating.
Good on you.
Me having such videos was of great help for my husband to see I was a sexual being also desiring of sex as well as being sexually arousing. 😉
There really is no such thing as 100% safe digital content as some others have pointed out. What saves us most of the time is being a smaller fish. It takes effort to steal content and usually that effort is spent on larger fish. Make sure you don’t ever plan to go into politics though…
My wife and I have created digital content (video and stills) that include masturbating for each other, our sex and a variety of nude work both commonplace and erotic/fetish. While these are just for us, we are aware that nothing is 100% safe. We are as careful as we can be with this content, but there is a risk and in some ways that adds a bit to the thrill.
When I get a short video of my wife fingering her pussy, it sends me over the top and it isn’t long before I send her a reply. Usually we end up making a video together after. But always with the idea that it is never completely safe. It is worth it to find apps/platforms that can at least keep the content secure from someone who might have access to your phone or computer.
This is well said! There might be nothing 100% safe, but there are definitely good practices that make your pics and videos MUCH more secure. I have lots of videos of my wife masturbating, but I have had to film them all. She’s never sent me one of her jilling off… so CO-Artist, yes I’m a little bit jealous. Are you active on any other platform or just here?
Hi Fearless,
We are a married (40 yrs) monogamous couple and this site seems suited to our lifestyle. I do go to other sex related blogs and platforms but usually if I see some discussion or story that it interesting. I used to have to video her masturbating, but a quick tutorial on tripods solved all that lol. She doesn't send them often as she is aware of the risk even if it's remote.
I'm new here but I like the content.
So glad you found this site and have jumped in with both feet. The content is A+ but maybe not the best site for peer interaction. So feel free to email (mine you can get in 1 guess), or if you see me on other platforms (i have the same username elsewhere).
Thanks, I appreciate that. We are looking for peers that are in the same place in life, same set of values and interest in the sexual side of married life. Nice to meet you.
Just a bit of a late anecdote. As a newlywed couple, Vanessa would often let me take pictures of her breasts. Then my phone got stolen when I was in a bad part of town. I didn’t have any security on the pictures and no password set on my phone. She felt a bit violated at the thought of some small-time crook jacking off to her boob pics, and possibly posting them online or sending them to his friends. It took her awhile before she felt comfortable sending me new ones to replace the old ones, and letting me take more pics of her girls again.
Pics and videos go to an encrypted Drive (duplicate backups, 2 separate drives). + an extra copy in my "Google Files" App, inside of the "Safe folder" option.
