Apropos of Nothing… Really
If history has taught us anything, it’s that the amateur sex tape of you and your current beloved is bound to land up on the internet. And if that’s your intention, then bully for you. Personally, I don’t want other people watching me have sex unless I’m getting paid for it, but hey, that’s just me.
But seriously, although I try to keep an open mind, I really don’t think the sex tape thing would work for me. For one thing, I can’t even stand the sound of my own voice on an answering machine…
Like all things needlessly perverse, I declare this idea “A Guy Thing.” My perspective: A man watching a video of himself having sex is analogous to a football player watching himself on the JumboTron as he scores a touchdown… and then watching that clip over and over until he’s too old to bend over to tie his cleats.

I always though it was “a girl thing” because they usually come off looking much better. Even the professional guys tend to look dopey. I have a feeling if I ever watched a sex tape involving me, that what is remaining of my fragile self-esteem would shatter like a piece of crystal stemware hitting the pavement. My fear is that it would be a hit on the internet, but not like a “Paris Hilton”-type hit. . .more like the “Grape Lady”

Okay, I’m going to google “Grape Lady” because I haven’t heard of that one.

Grape lady was the classic case of someone looking like an idiot on a video which then goes completely viral. It was in the top 2 or 3 of all those lists of the most iconic web videos of the decade. That video was one of a handful that really helped launch YouTube. You need to have the sound up loud, but provided you can laugh at someone in excrutiating pain (although not as excrutiating as she would lead you to believe), it is gut-bustingly funny
