I'm having some problems with Safari. Within a day or two of visiting a page, it seems to forget that I've ever been there. Any ideas on how to set it to stop doing this? I've had a look through Safari's preferences, and the System Preferences, and I'm having no luck whatsoever in changing it.

What am I doing wrong?

someone else is using your computer to look at porn, then clearing the history. unfortunately you can't selectively delete history in safari.

Yes, you can. Open the history in the bookmarks view and delete whatever entry you want to.

To this day I'm not entirely sure what dictates how long Safari's history log gets. If you're visiting a lot of sites, you'll see fewer days logged. However, you shouldn't be seeing it automatically deleting history for no reason.
