I don't get the whole videotaping yourself having sex thing. Maybe I missed some crucial stage in my sexual development, or perhaps I was out of the room when they explained it in sex ed. Maybe I'm innately avideoal. But I just don't understand it on so many levels.
Is the act of taping itself exciting? Does knowing the tape is running make you have better sex?
What do you do with the tape once you've made it? Do you watch it? Do you have more sex while you watch yourself having sex? Do you watch it when you're alone and have sex with yourself? Do you share it with your friends? Do they watch it and have sex? Is this post going to get me lots of scary sexbot hits? Am I a total loser?
I don't think I want to watch myself having sex. But maybe everyone else knows something I don't. Maybe I should want to watch myself having sex. Maybe I need videotape sex therapy.
Could it be an age thing? Is videotaping yourself having sex a self-evident next step for the generation that has been videotaped from birth to birthday parties to ballet recitals? The generation that has never known a world without reality TV and internet porn? The generation to which I do not belong?
And what about these celebrities? Are they really as dumb as they seem? Do they truly believe that even though it happened to Rob Lowe, and to Pamela and Tommy Lee, and to Paris, it won't happen to them? Yes, Colin Farrell, I'm talking about you. But then again, maybe this urge to tape is so powerful that it overcomes all common sense. Clearly, I wouldn't know.
[This is one of those posts where I'm not sure whether I'm revealing how pathetic I really am or speaking up for the silent majority. And I'm not sure I want to find out.]

I would just focus on how big my ass was and compain about the lighting!
I think I would be so horrified I would never have sex again. I don't even want a mirror, thank you.
Silent--perhaps majority--here!
I just had to delurk and say I couldn't agree more with you. I just don't get it at all.
The thought of watching myself have sex horrifies me.
Joining you in the horror. I'd like to think I looked good while having sex. Would my video camera and the lighting in our bedroom promote this illusion? NO IT WOULD NOT.
Please. I'm self-conscious enough as it is. Let's not add video equipment to the scenario.
Maybe we need to ask some men about this. Is that the missing piece of this puzzle?
1st xy post:
Forget the standard diagnosis i.e., male predisposition to visual stimuli, or the control-oriented mechanics of shooting a scene. And, no, I don't even WANT to show my freinds.
I love you. Get comfortable with who you are, that mirror we both spend time with is not for self-loathing.
Don't forget that I think you're beautiful and we're both full of desire for each other. I don't "see" anything horrific about that, regardless of lighting.
