How to publish your own sex tape — 3 easy rules
Never mind Gene Simmons. What about the radical presumption that you could share your own exploits with a more private audience? How do you aim for the stars without landing in the gutter? Once you've captured the moment, putting it online is a 3-step process in careful handling.
- Know your audience. If you seek a global audience, go ahead and upload to Spankwire, RedTube or Megarotic. But the mostly non-porny Vimeo lets you password protect your videos. Plus, Vimeo hosts way less competition in the fuck-film category.
- Expand your viewership slowly. Start with just you and your costar(s). That way damage control, if needed, is simpler. The best way to stay safe with friends who want a peek is to insist they upload a video of their own before you'll let them have your password.
- Anticipate trouble. If you're sharing with your sweetie, change your passwords — email, your secret blog, your swinger profile — before you get anywhere near a breakup. The XXX ex video is an all-too-popular genre.
Always keep in mind: Porn is forever. Your performance will probably outlast your relationship. If your screencaps become a 4chan meme, there'll be nothing you can do. It's okay if you and your costar don't want to share with anyone else. In an age of overexposure, isn't keeping something private the dirtiest thing you can do?
