Have you ever been in a sex tape? Pretty straight forward question. ---

Yep. And pictures. If you ask real nice, I can show you where the pictures are online. ---

Yes, but destroyed. Hasn’t everyone who ever owned a video recording device? ---

To quote Sandra Bullock, there is no sex tape. And there never will be. ---

Yes. Watched it once and was vaguely horrified. Didn’t ever watch it again and eventually destroyed it. ---

Yup. When someone ties you up first - kinda hard to say no. . . I do accept the fact that anything I let go to film or internet is out there and therefore I will never run for president of the United States or anything else that might involve a sex scandal. However, i also never deny that I do these things nor do I have kids who will someday be embarassed by it - just a bunch of ultra-conservative relatives. And who knows - they might learn something useful. ---

I figure it’s not something I would ever want to watch, so why make one? Plus, I learned pretty early in life, don’t put anything on film you wouldn’t want your parents (or grandparents) to see. ☹ While that sounds worse than it was, flipping the bird was very risque for a 7 year old. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Shakeycam? uh, no? tripod. Shaky thighs, though. Edited to add: I wasn’t fat or anything, I just didn’t realize how jiggly the sex act was, in general, until I saw that. I was 18 at the time, btw, so I hadn’t yet been exposed to things like porn. ---

No, but only 'cause I haven’t got a camcorder. Or a suitable diposed partner, nowadays. ---

Other, let me explain. Not me in the tape, but a then-GF. And not a tape, either. I took a couple of 30-second movies of her with my digital camera. They were at night, the room lighting was dim, and there was no sound. So essentially they are 30-second movies of black silence. I haven’t deleted them yet. Not so much because I enjoy watching them but because I’m in no danger of running out of memory and I can’t be arsed. ---

Yes, a couple of times. I don’t think any of the productions are sold on tape, but they are available on DVD, and probably pay-per-view. ---

No and I never will either! I don’t want to frighten anyone! However I have recently considered making a fetish video for those people who like watching women eat. That would be easy money there. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever-made-a-sex-tape/537095.md?page=2)
