So have you ever taken compromising photos/videos of your lover, yourself, or both? If so, what did you do with them? My SO has MANY compromising photos of me. Any one of them could keep me from winning even a minor public office. I love posing for him because it makes me feel sexy. We’ve even gone so far as to post some photos on an internet site. He must have a knack for getting girls to pose, because he’s got pics and video from at least two past girlfriends. How about you kinky folks? ---

Creaky, Something about your name makes me wonder if I would really **enjoy** seeing those pictures. I had considered asking you to post a URL but I think I would be inclined to politely decline the offer if you were to do so. No offense. 😃 Now if your name were Crikey I might be singing a different tune. 😉 ---

No, but I’ve shot some stuff for my friend’s website. I would not take pictures in the situation you describe because A) I don’t have a significant other, and B) No one wants to see me naked, even if I was inclined to take pics of myself. (And C) “It’s just not done.” Brought up to be a gentleman, and all…) ---

A few years back Playboy ran an article written by a man who had started to videotape his SO and himself while having sex. Apparently it started out as a lark, but they soon found that they enjoyed it so much that they kept at it. In the article the guy mentions that a CD by a band named Laika was playing in the background and that it added to the whole experience. \ I trot down to the local music store and pic up a CD by a band called Laika and the Cosmonauts, thinking it is the same band. I get home, put the CD on and its…surf music. Full of “Wipeout” style drumming, whammy bar guitar work, twangy, Dick Dale-influenced music. The CD is terrific, but it certainly isn’t something I’d want to make love to (unless it was with Gidget or Annette Funicello from Beach Blanket Bingo). I have since learned of an electronic band called, simply, Laika. The album is called “Silver Apples From the Moon.” Parts of it are very atmospheric, ambient noise stuff - perfect for adding to the scene without overpowering it. As to the OP, yes, we’ve taken photos of each other inflagrante delicto and have used the video camera once or twice. ---

Recorded one time on a webcam but after she felt self-conscious about it and deleted the file. Wasn’t really worth it, but perhaps in the future if it was with a gorgeous girl who knew what she was doing I’d go for it ---

[sub]sneaks in[/sub] Um… yeah. Solo video once, many many years ago (during the first Bush presidency) - long recorded over. Coupla photos here and there a while ago - again, solo efforts just for the hell of it. Long gone as well. Gotta love digital cameras! As of yet, no action videos or shots, but I believe the idea has been kicked around once or twice. [sub]sneaks out[/sub] ---

Taken a couple of nude pictures of myself. It’s part of the whole digital camera mystique. 🙂 ---

Digital cameras can be dangerous things. I not only have one, but I had friend who had a server, which has since died(the server, not the friend). So, yes, I made my own porn. I also used to run a small amateur site. The market is pretty flooded and I don’t really want to shell out the money on a server to get the site going again. But I still have an ungodly amount of pictures of myself doing all sorts of various perversions. Personally, I like about 500 or so of the pics. ---

Not porn - but I’ve had nude photos taken by a friend who is an artist. He took beautiful black and white picture printed them really big (40 by 50 centimeter) and then painted on them with black paint. The overall effect is stiking! Dark and “powerful”. He gave me two pictures (Originals! No copies!) and I framed them in baroque-style frames - they usually come in gold but I got some in near-black. I was told they’re covered in shellac. I’m very proud of these pictures! (And my husband and parents like them too! That makes me even more proud!! :)) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tequila Mockingbird \* > **I still have an ungodly amount of pictures of myself doing all sorts of various perversions.** Not to mention of course several movies, one of which was a true cinematic experience, beautifully shot and culminating in the greatest scene in the history of erotic film. In the middle of “the act”, she gracefully arches her back, smoothly shifts her weight and seductively stands up on the bed to change positions and… \ sticks her head in the quickly revolving ceiling fan. Gotta watch that one again soon:) ---

You know the film [_Flatliners_](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0099582)? How after their near-death experiences their past karma started to come to life in front of them? William Baldwin’s lady-killer character had a habit of secretly videotaping himself while humping his many girlfriends. After his near-death experience he’s walking down the street and passes a TV store. He glances in the window and one on of the TVs he sees one of his homemade porno videos playing. The woman looks _out_ at him on the sidewalk and says, “Why’d you do it, Joey?” That seriously fries his shit! ---

Does painting nudes of your lovers count? I’ve only had introductory paint and canvas training, and none in the human form, but I think I do OK as long as I don’t try and be too realistic. Every woman I’ve painted nude has kept the painting when we parted ways. I’m also in the habit of taking candid photos - just walk in the room and snap away. It’s even easier with a digital camera. I sometimes get **lady bug** in various states of undress this way. She’s learned to lock the door to the bathroom to use the can in private! ---

Yes. Just with one guy though…my first fuck buddy. Through a relative that works at Panasonic, I had bought a camcorder for about 200 dollars-this is when they used to cost 800-1000 new. It came with a tripod…we had the same idea at the same time… I still have the tape. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ever-made-your-own-porn/72893.md?page=2)
