It was just one of those days. You know what I’m talking about: a horrible day when you just want to curl up in bed and hide. And that’s exactly what I did, waking up at around noon and going into hiding for the rest of the day. I mean, did you see the Robert Pattinson sex tape leak? I know, it was shocking. I mean, how could it happen? The world’s most expensive bachelor got his hands on a sex tape and couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
The video in question was leaked online a few days ago and shows just what everyone wanted to see: the sexy 27-year-old actor naked and having sex with a beautiful woman. For those of you who are wondering, “What is a sex tape and why do people make them?” Here’s the lowdown.
What Is a Sex Tape?
Think of a sex tape as a virtual sex partner. It’s a recording of some of the most private moments a person can have with someone they’re dating or have slept with. Ideally, a sex tape would be a way to remember the intimate moments of a romantic relationship; if it’s well-made, it can also be used to critique various aspects of a person’s looks or performance during sex.
While there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to what makes for a good sex tape, there are a few things you can do to ensure that your partner feels safe and comfortable enough to bare all in the first place.
How Do Sex Tapes Work?
The most obvious difference between a sex tape and a regular old sex video is that the former usually has a much higher production value. It would be best to avoid using your smartphone for the recording, as it could potentially distort the quality of the footage. Instead, opt for a high-quality camera, such as a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
When it comes to editing a sex tape, you have several options. You can either use traditional video editing software, such as Windows Movie Maker or Final Cut Pro, or you can use specialised software, such as TRUiC, for Macs, or Vimeocopilot, for iPhones, which was designed specifically for editing videos. If you’re looking to make your video a bit more professional, consider paying for professional editing services. Some of the biggest video editing companies in the world will happily take on your project and give you an amazing finished product at a very affordable price.
Why Are Sex Tapes So Popular?
Whether you want to admit it or not, when it comes to sex tapes, most of us have a morbid curiosity. The idea of witnessing another person’s most intimate moments is enough to make anyone curious. And when that curiosity turns into a bit of a voyeuristic obsession, it’s not hard to see why so many people might want to see a hot celebrity sex tape. Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to see a glimpse of Tom Hanks in the nude?
The fact that so much private detail is left untouched by the media means that a sex tape can still be considered a major event even if it’s been posted online. If a celebrity’s manager or publicist sees a sex tape and decides to leak it, it could potentially ruin the person’s chances of keeping their job, as well as putting their personal life on display for everyone to see. As much as we might want to see a sex tape, the fact that it’s private makes it a bit more dangerous than a nude selfie.
The Rise Of The Selfie
If you’re reading this, you’re obviously a person who enjoys their daily routines and takes pride in documenting them. That makes you exactly the type of person who might consider making a sex tape. But even if you don’t intend to share your video with the world, there are still a number of ways a sex tape could affect your life.
Since the release of Fifty Shades Of Grey, S&M, and bondage-themed erotica, sex tapes have become something of a subgenre. If you’re into that sort of thing, it’s relatively easy to find a partner who shares your interest and make a video with you. Or perhaps you just want to make a video for your own personal amusement. In that case, you might want to consider renting a small video studio and producing a high-quality, fully finished product that you can share with your friends and family. If you’re not worried about creating something amazing, just pick a random girl you sleep with and record the act. It’s easy to do, and the end result isn’t that bad. Not to mention that the video will make for interesting viewing when you’re done.
The Demise Of The Affair
So you and your partner have been together for a while and have made all of the proper, adult, and mostly legal commitments to each other. You’ve been intimate with each other for months, if not years, and decided to document the experience on video. If you’re both devoted to each other and are absolutely sure that what you’re doing is protected by the law, there’s really no need to hide your video from anyone. But let’s say you do decide to keep your video a secret and never show it to another living soul. Does that mean your entire relationship is over?
The short answer is no. It depends on how seriously you take your commitment to each other. Do you believe your relationship is worth saving? Do you want to try and maintain some sense of dignity and avoid further humiliation? If you do, then it probably isn’t time to call it quits yet. But, as bad as the thought of being caught is, it might be best to walk away. The alternative isn’t pretty. It’s sad, but true: when someone decides to leak a celebrity sex tape, it’s usually because the person who had the camera wasn’t willing to commit fully to the relationship. And that, my friends, is why you should never, ever let a stranger into your private life. At least not without a fight.
Damage Control
It seems like celebrities are always finding themselves in trouble, as it’s practically their job to be famous. It’s not like the media isn’t aware of what constitutes a good scandal—they seem to always know when a celebrity is having an affair or getting divorced. In most of these cases, the damage is already done and there’s not much that can be done to repair the celebrity’s public image. But in some cases, a celebrity can still have a career if they want it. And it all depends on how seriously they take their responsibilities as public figures.
In the case of Robert Pattinson, the actor has taken a bit of a back seat to his career as a film producer. He’s produced several award-winning films, including one of my personal favourites, the 2016 indie comedy, Downriver. The fact that he’s worked his way up from relative obscurity to become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand producers is a testament to his hard work and dedication. And, of course, his looks. He’s one of the most attractive men you’ll ever see.
But, seeing as Pattinson has never been known to shy away from his good looks, it seems likely that his decision to leak the sex tape was a bid for attention. While the public may still want to see the sexy bachelorette, it wouldn’t hurt Pattinson’s cause to keep the video under wraps. The only way for him to really salvage his reputation is to prove that he’s not some kind of horny beast who only wants to sink his fangs into young, nubile flesh. And that, my friends, is a feat that will likely remain unmatched.
