Sex videos. The last time I heard about those, aside from the Katrina Halili-Hayden Kho incident, was when I was in first year colege. What 2012 brought us as a remnant of 2011, is a sex video of Janelle Manahan and her murdered boyfriend Ram Revilla.
No sex, no sex video. I was about to say period. Case closed. However, looking at the other side of the incidents about sex videos (or “intimate” video) that spread like wild fire on the internet, apart from the “no sex, no sex video” mentality, the absence of technology that has a capability to record videos also means there would be no sex video. In short, two (or more) parties could have sex and they will never be caugt on tape BUT the video-recording function of even the simplest cellphone exists and remains a menace to potential victims.
I feel sad for those women who became victims of sex video scandals. They’re not an AV-idol like Maria Ozawa. Some women even did it with that person for the first time — all recorded for all the denizens of the WWW to see and hopefully, ignore — without their knowing it. Sexy star or not, these videos affect the private and the not-so-private life of individuals as they helplessly get all the shame (and fame, in a bad way) as the videos go out of hand. The people’s perceptions about them could change and the victims have no control over what people would think and say about them.
So here’s the catch:
Video-recording gadget + sex = sex video
better yet, no sex, no sex video.
Better safe than sorry. There may not be a Peeping Tom or a Sneaky Swiper around but it pays to be sure. Better yet, just don’t do it. (Sorry, Nike)
