The editors over at Gizmodo asked their readers a question yesterday: “What Is The Best Technology To Use When You Film Yourself Having Sex?” Being that it’s a tech blog with a savvy readership, you would think the commenters would have some wise suggestions for creating videos in the bedroom. Not so much. Here’s a collection of the commenters’ advice (and cluelessness) about homemade sex tapes.
Absolutely DO NOT USE DIGITAL if you want anything good quality. Well, you COULD but most of us home brewers can’t afford digital recorders good enough to not be noticeably inferior to analog. Tripod’s aren’t as necessary as you think either, unless you only want that single angle the entire video. Some people can’t get over having a nonparticipant in the room as a cameraman…
I’ve got a 60 minute flip, but I never know what to do with the other 58 mins of video.
When you film yourself or when you film yourself and your partner? I have a different camera for each. (clue: one has pictures taped to the front of it and isn’t hi-def)
I prefer the aesthetic look of grainy 16mm color filmstock shot on an Arriflex.
cell phone cam FTW. “hold up baby, someone’s calling me! keep doing what youre doing, i’ll text them back” but you’re not writing a text… oh no, you’re not.
High def so I can see every detail… also, i can see where i missed when i groomed my downtown arena.

It is an online geek community, did you expect them to take it seriously?

I don’t think I’d ever record it (too paranoid about it getting out) but I have thought about seeing if she’d go for hooking our camcorder to the projector in our basement & seeing ourselves real-time on the 100” HD screen - is that weird?

@jsw - Don’t hate on the geeks, just say “do you want fries with that?” and leave ‘em alone.

@Riley: I’m sitting here with 3 large monitors, a number of computers, and maybe half a dozen video cameras of one sort or another within a few feet of me. I’m also fully clothed and alone. So… I speak from experience.

40yodad : that is way hott. Set it up like on a special date or whatever weekend the kids are all gone, OR BOTH. She needs to know that you guys wont be interrupted…start out slow, touching her or rubbing her back, and then work up to bigger things. Be romantic about it first and when she seems into it then you can get dirty and perverted. And let her know there is no tape, no evidence whatsoever. A pitcher of margaritas first may also help facilitate things, tequila can turn anyone into a total slut. That’s how my hubby did it

Oh yeah and low lighting at first too. You can turn the spotlights on later

@40yrold - i don’t think you need to worry about it getting out. i don’t think ANYONE is interested in watching a forty-something father have sex!

(and that begs the question of what exactly a 40-year-old man is doing on a guys-sex-celebs-style website for twentysomething women. but to each his own!)

@frisked: Even we 40-something fathers have an inner twentysomething woman to appease. We might try to seem all manly man, but we need our frilly things and gossip as much as the next girl.
Or not.
But as far as watching such fathers have sex, I’d have to say that there has been plenty of discussion on this site about fathers 40ish or older and their desirability. Well, some such discussion. There needs to be more.
duhh

filming yourself having sex makes no damn sense to me…..unless you want to look at them after your loved one is deceased or something and I highly doubt that is some people’s intentions….......please enlighten me WHY this is necessary?
they now have to put these in the divorce papers?
Is it just to make the other person feel intimidated that it might be shown to someone at a later date—or just to make them wonder if you’re going to show it to your friends later on ............?????
it seems perverse to me….......
