There was once a time when pornography was kept in the closet. Dad had a collection of “dirty” VHS tapes that would be kept in a secret box locked away in the dark corners of a closet only to be accessed during his “private moments”, or big brother kept a few videos stashed away underneath his bed just in case mom decided to clean his room. Now we live in a society where pornography has somewhat of a mainstream face where videos can be downloaded on mobile devices making the average adult film actress a starlet in her own right. In recent years, we have seen a number of celebrities try their skillsets in sexual self-expression through motion picture by filming themselves in their most intimate moments with their partners (a la Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian). While some of these creations were leaked unknowingly many were made purposely with the intent to distribute to the world to gain greater fame and fortune. Creating a porno or sextape as more commonly known isn’t just for the rich and famous. In fact, sex tapes have gone beyond the label of taboo with the recently released and appropriately titled film Sex Tape, starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel. This activity is actually a fun way to spice up a relationship and to critique technique to improve and enhance performance, but can also be a process that isn’t so easily executed. Professional pornography sets have lights, cameras, assistants, makeup artists and wardrobe stylists on set to make everything look amazing, but in a DIY setting these options aren’t readily available. Has the idea of filming an adult film starring you and your lover been floating around your mind as a priority on your “to do” list?
