Want privacy? Keep your private things private.
Hmm...Tabula brings up an interesting point.


Maybe this dude subconsciously wanted to get caught...

I'd be more concerned if the guy didn't have porn.

He did not get "caught." There was nothing to "catch."

I would not expect my wife to raid my electronics content when I wasn't around, much less a girlfriend.
Ditto. The Mr. only snooped through my stuff one time, many years ago. His nose was all out of joint over what he found, but later got over it and understood why even spouses are entitled to a certain degree of privacy.

I agree that it was invasion of privacy. There are probably circumstances under which it could be justified, but that's not applicable to this situation.

I believe everyone is entitled to privacy... husband/wife much less a girlfriend.

I would be very upset. the content of the drive is irrelevant in this case.

In my world, there is an expectation of privacy until such time as there is an agreement otherwise.

Just because I have access to something does not give me the privilege to "help myself" to everything in it.

For me, personally, the length of the relationship doesn't have too much to do with it.

IMO , it depends on the level / stage of the relationship .
If you are still somewhat casual and aren't living together. I think its wrong.
but if you are exclusive, are making long term plans, live together or are married, its no big deal.

but still some people are just insecure and have a sickness for being nosy
