Of course this three-letter word would catch your attention. Sex has always been an intriguing subject. So much that it elicits rave reactions when intentionally or accidentally publicized and ballyhooed. The controversy we attach to it especially when it goes public and viral makes us look like flies swarming around a fresh pile of cow dung.
It’s becoming very ridiculous and bordering on comical how sex scandals seem to be the trend in our local entertainment industry recently. Taped sex videos of public personalities going online for people to nit-pick and cluck their tongues at makes me ask these questions that I’m pretty sure a lot of us have thought of.
Why in the world will anyone film themselves while engaged in what most will consider a very intimate activity? It’s something that exceedingly baffles me. Is it like perfecting a dance routine so you need to capture the whole thing then watch it afterwards so you can pinpoint the weak parts and do better next time?
Some clinical reviews online which delved on this case had anonymous subjects claiming that they do it solely for the purpose of furthering their sexual gratification. The reason may be as absurd as the idea of filming one’s sexual act itself. But whatever tickles one’s pickle right?

So then you have a taped video of your acrobatic performance that suddenly gets leaked for everyone to feast on. Now how does a supposedly confidential file get to be exposed for media and public frenzy? With the recent surfacing of numerous celebrity sex tapes that eventually benefited the subjects by elevating them to a new level of fame, dubious minds like mine will entertain the possibility that such an act was purposely done as a marketing tool to establish or advance one’s career. If indeed by some preposterous thought this was an underlying reason, then this is such a wacko strategy.
And then there’s us, the public who go gaga over these amateurish ‘pornography’ just because the person in the video is a well-known personality. Our reactions vary from indifference, to disgust, to acting like righteous moralists. We raise our brows, criticize and elegize the morals of the rich and famous. We exaggerate because sensationalized bits make exciting and interesting commentary.
Then again, no one is perfect and no one is immune to or above temptation. We all have weaknesses, like how our passions and carnal desires can overcome logic. Even good people may do crazy and self-destructive things when the circumstances call for it.
But at the end of the day, the archaic and conservative side of me says that an intercourse remains to be a private and sacred act between two consenting, mature and responsible individuals and thus, should be confined within the four walls of a bedroom, or a closet, or wherever—but should just be between those involved. The thought of videotaping the act of copulation for whatever bizarre and narcissistic reason is just beyond cognition. It’s definitely not a good example to brazenly put out to the youth who have very easy access to the internet as such an action inarguably manifests poor discernment, imprudence and even lack of moral judgment. But then again, I may just be the narrow-minded one here.
