Tape trap, your sex tips

The decision of couples to shoot their moments of intimacy can be a risky affair and hence requires major precautions.

Talk of sex videos and one is reminded of the infamous Night in Paris clip that depicted Holly A-lister Paris Hilton and her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon engaging in sexual relations. Or it is the supermodel Kate Moss and her druggie beau Pete Doherty engaged in foreplay. While Holly world is replete of such tales, back home the Ashmit Patel-Riya Sen MMS video or Shahid Kapur-Kareena Kapoor clips have created ruckus. And it isn't just the rich and famous who indulge in this risky passion but an average Joe, too, enjoys the filming process as much.

The kick factor
Making sex videos is increasingly getting popular with the new-age couples. Most of the couples u2014 married or not, tape their most intimate moments and the reason can be attributed to the fact that it involves thrill, joy and excitement of seeing themselves indulging in sexual activities.

And it ain't wrong entirely. According to Dr Samir Parikh, psychiatrist, Max Hospital, "Sex videos can be used for improving sexual lives. Watching the video at a later part can give couples new ideas for experimenting while they have sex next time."

Be safe
But what one really needs to work on is the safety of such videos. Says Dr Amitabh Shah, consultant psychiatrist, Vimhans, "One should make sure that the tape is kept secretly where no body can assess it and if possible it should be deleted. Also couple should not boast about the fact that they have made such videos in front of friends because that can create unnecessary curiosity. Under no circumstances should one upload it on the Net or have a copy of it on the computer or cell phone."

And what if a couple decides to go separate ways? In such a situation the videos can be a cause of concern for both the partners. To this Shah offers, "Both the partners should communicate with each other and if possible destroy the videos before it becomes a bigger problem."

Here's what the celebs have to say:

Suchitra Pillai, actress

I would say it is foolish to tape your intimate moments, as you never know how anyone can misuse it. You can't trust anybody on that. And if somebody finds it that you can be in a big trouble.

Manpreet Brar, former model
Personally, I will never tape my private moments. And I think that those who do that should be very careful and cautious so that they do not end up in a problem. Especially, the younger lot as they are most prone to this and they are the one who need to be sensible.

Aryan Vaid, model-actor
As long as the video is for watching just by the two of them, it's ok. The problem arises when it is leaked as no one wants the public to see what they are up to in their private moments.

Wear a mask
Masks are no longer for Mardi Gras and parties. Before you appear in a sex tape, conceal your identity with a stylish mask.
