    Well then...

    I've been seeing a couple for about a month now, enough to know that we're all very similar people, we've become quite good friends and bedfellows with similar taste in sex =)

    now then, those two are very much into their sex videos. I never have been, i've never been with anyone else keen to try it, but also never really wanted to anyway, through worry that they will escape and take on a new life of their own on the internet (i get the Psycho stabbing music in my head at this prospect)

    Having said that, it's still a hot idea, i would love to see us =P

    if i am going to go ahead and try it, what precautions can i/we take to ensure that the video doesn't escape?

    Hi there! Unfortunately, there is very little you can do. You can ask them not to upload it to the internet and to protect your privacy, but the reality is that you never know what will happen with it a week, a month or a year from the time you have asked them. If both of them are into sex videos and taping themselves, there is a good chance that their videos have made it onto the net.

    Here is also something else to consider. If something goes wrong and you guys have an argument of fight, it is possible that they could use the video as 'retaliation'. You don't want to be in that situation.

    Given that you have some reservations about it to begin with, I would listen to the instincts. If you are worried that they video might be uploaded and start a life of its own on the internet, maybe that would be one reason not to do it.
     
  3. Make it, watch it, then make sure it's not duplicated and that it gets destroyed.

    That's what I'd do.

    Though if you feel like these are the kind of people who can't follow those rules, I wouldn't do it.

    We've already talked about publishing, they've never uploaded anything, it also gets deleted from their phones, laptops and cameras in case they get stolen.

    We've also already spoken about blackmail and revenge, i think they're too mature for those kind of shenanigans, and i can't foresee myself being the subject of someone's jealousy to that degree anyway.

    I feel safe about these people, we're good friends, and since the guy is studying artificial intelligence, i think he's tech savvy enough to keep things suitably private (and i know i am).

    i was thinking along those lines. I might suggest this, they'll respect my wishes.

    I would very, very strongly recommend against doing a sex video UNLESS you are ok with your naked self having sex getting out at some point.

    Especially since you're the third person involved with a couple. With a triad, there's always the possibility that one of the other two will get upset and put it out there out of jealousy at some point down the road, or that one or both will send it to "just one friend" to show how hot it is, or send it to someone they're trying to entice to join them for a threesome.

    The bottom line is that, even with a boyfriend you've been with for a long time, it's a risky proposition if you're trying to ensure it never leaks out. With a couple, it's twice as risky.

    Now... the counter argument is, porn has become so widespread, and many people are so open about sex these days that the stigma associated with being in a sex tape, particularly one that was made for private consumption and later leaked, is pretty low. So if you're reasonably comfortable with your body, and wouldn't be mortified with the idea of someone you know well (friends, work associates, etc) seeing you naked and having sex, then the risk is reasonable.

    I have a friend who is a Starbucks assistant manager, decided to do (professional) porn, and who walked into an adult bookstore with a friend/fellow Starbucks employee, only to see himself on display on a DVD at the bookstore. He was totally cool with his porn work, but said it was still a little weird with his friend seeing it, and even weirder when all his fellow Starbucks employees decided to have a "screening party" to watch his film. But ultimately, other than being a little awkward at first, he said people were very positive about it.

    So... it really depends on your comfort level. Of course, you aren't doing porn for release, but any time you do a sex tape, you should assume that it will, at some point, be seen by more people than you originally intended.

    I want to be a teacher. If it got out at the wrong time in the wrong place, it could ruin that career.

    There are no certainties in life, even condoms aren't 100%, but people still consider sex using condoms as being objectively 'safe'. With the right agreement and precautions, i think this kind of fun can be done safely too. I'm guessing most people think otherwise

    If the video does get out, and someone (by chance) comes across it that knows you, it will ruin that career.

    Yep, there are no certainties in life, but this is something you can control. Even though you might think it could be done safely, and with precautions, there is still no certainty that it will be that way. :slight_smile:

    It's your choice. But... given your career choice, not a risk I'd want to take.

    If you wanted to be a stripper or a porn star in the future, I’d be like, “Whatever you want"...if you wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, politician, or teacher I’d say, “Fuck no”...and you want to be a teacher, so you know the answer I’d give...this will come back to bite you so hot on the ass it will be sore forever. You want to work with children as a teacher I assume? THEN, NO! NO....NO, NO, NO!

    If this is an alternative, fine; tape it, watch it TOGETHER- ALL of you, and destroy it TOGETHER! ENSURE THERE IS NO TIME FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE A DUPLICATE COPY....

    Don't do it. Just don't go down that road at all. It'll save you a world of grief.

    There are some things that are just too risky to do, and this is one of them. Don't do it. You said you wanted to be a teacher, it isn't worth the risk of sacrificing your career just for a moment of pleasure.

    Ok, here's what's happening.

    We're going to go ahead and do it.

    The fellow of the couple in question is a comp sci graduate studying artificial intelligence as a doctorate. He explained how everything gets deleted from anything whatsoever, and anything they keep is kept on a securely encrypted hard drive to which only he and his girlfriend have the key.

    not only that, he's able to edit the video and blur me out if there are any distinctly identifiable shots, as well as remove any incidental recordings of my voice (i'm going to keep my mouth shut and he's going to do the talking). I get to look at it, and if i'm satisfied, it stays, and if not, immediately deleted. foolproof?

    Disagree. It doesn't even get there if i don't give the okay.

    I'm present for all this, btw.

    You're going to go for it no matter what any of us say. Just know that you're trusting these people with your future career. It's not risk free, but as long as you're willing to take the risks, go ahead.

    If you really want to, then go for it.

    If you just want to see yourself in action, you could just have sex in a room with something like a full length mirror and just look at it when things are happening? It might sound awkward or restricting or whatever, but in my experience it shows just as much as a camera would… that's the best alternative I can offer.

    You should listen to him. Definitely a red flag there. Don't risk your career on this.

    So as an update, we went ahead and did it, and at my insistence, i was the cameraman. No images of my face whatsoever, and no vocal utterances to identify me with.

    Does anyone have any reason why this would not be foolproof? If so, i may ask that it be deleted anyway.
