A recent study by the University of Montreal aimed to compare men in their 20s who were regular consumers of porn with the same age men who had never looked at porn. But this failed at its inception because the researchers couldn’t find a man in their 20s who had not looked at porn!
While clearly this is an isolated statistic, it does show the trend among sexually mature adults to look online at what’s turning them on in the bedroom.
And a natural extension of this habit is to create personalised porn. Or in other words – make your own sexy video. And here are some tips to ensure that your film is as hot as it gets.
OK, so how do we start?
- Have a plan. You don’t necessarily need to be closely following a script, but forward planning and ‘blocking’ shots will help stop any awkward fumbling. Preparation is key.
- Similarly, if you have a rough game plan then you each know what’s coming next and if you decide in advance what you want to see in your film, then you stand a much greater chance of making it happen.
- Take care of the lighting. You want to see all in your sex tape – you don’t want to see it all. Be aware of shadows and stay away from harsh lights. Candles can create a nice ambience in a room and give a soft, natural light, but then you’ll have to be hyper-aware of the fire risk. Swings and roundabouts….
- Be natural. If you don’t look comfortable then you won’t look natural, and if you’re trying to make this worth keeping then thinking ahead about how to suit your very own porn stars is a great move. If you think that you simply can’t relax in front of the camera, then consider a role play. Becoming a character is often easier than playing yourself.
- Beware the camera angle. If it’s too wide then you’ll be compromising on intimacy. If it’s too high then you’ll only be getting whoever is top – and that’s not fair. Try a lower angle to catch the best moments – and the best shots of your best parts.
- Give yourself a once-over. Would you prefer to be hirsute or hairless for your starring role? Get yourself looking great; shaved, moisturised, pampered – whatever it takes – and that will fuel your confidence and help make you a great film!
Lastly – DO NOT SHARE. Even if you’re channelling your inner Ron Jeremy, that does not mean that others should be party to what is a very private moment. Or very private few moments. If your sex tape gets into the wrong hands, it could haunt you forever. Once it’s on the internet, it’s out there forever and there will be nothing that you can do. So – always choose a partner that you can 100% trust, do not email it or text it to anyone and do NOT put it on any form of social media platform at all.
