Sex tapes: Rihanna, Paris, Pam

It's very simple: If you are a celebrity and you don't want the public to see you doing your private business--DO NOT MAKE A SEX TAPE. If you are a private individual be very careful too. Too many cases of embarrassing incidents happen if the relationship goes sour.

The sex tape brouhaha is so rampant, Wikipedia has a whole page devoted to it.

Of course we have Pam Anderson's tame and lame sex tape of her honeymoon with what's-his-name. I subjected myself to this sugar-coated, empty brained ordeal and wondered what all the fuss was about. Between them calling each other "Baby," every three seconds and jerky videos of the landscape, all I felt was disgust that I was wasting my time.

I also saw Paris Hilton's insipid "scandalous" video. I don't find brainless poseurs revealing their private parts sexy. Now, according to Gawker she supposedly has released a new sex tape.

The whole Rihanna/Chris Brown beat-down scandal is hard enough to take. Now Star Magazine is saying that Rihanna is afraid Chris is going to leak a sex tape of them doing the pee-pee dance for the world to see. The source went on to say, "Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality. But she'd be mortified if her friends and family found this out! This whole beating incident is terribly humiliating for her. She's already traumatized and will do anything to make it all go away as quickly as possible."

As MK says in Dlisted, "Let's be clear. If you make a sex tape then be prepared for it to get into the "wrong" hands--or the right ones if your aim is to make money off of it."

He observes astutely, "Okay, if you're a celebwh*re and your bare a** is in the air while a camera is recording, there's a good f**king chance that the eyes of many will see it. Don't lose your breath when it leaks, because you had it coming!

"If you're a narcissistic wh*re and need to see your sh*t doing f*cky stuff, just hook the camera up to the TV so you can watch without recording it. Or delete that sh*t right away. Be smart! But personally, watching myself doing that nasty sh*t is like watching a horror movie. It's not fun or stimulating. I learned things about my body I never wanted to know!"

This also goes for private individuals. Be careful about those sex tapes. I have heard too many stories of relationships gone south followed by revenge distribution of sex tapes.

I will discuss secret taping of sex--in which one of the participants doesn't even know it's happening, another time. Yes, that happens too. It has happened to a friend of mine and to many others.
