I've sometimes wondered "Why do individuals or couples or groups of friends or acquaintances (female or male two-somes or three-somes or however many other participants) choose to post porn videos of themselves engaging in sexual acts of whatever type(s) on the great multitude of FREE porn websites?"

Why oh why would they want to do this? I can see if it is purely a way for some to make money for themselves but, in this case, all these persons are uploading or having uploaded by others these videos of themselves to the great multitude of FREE porn websites for the entire lot of humanity to have access to at any time and forevermore for all eternity (whether having them watched by others online or whether such videos are downloaded by anyone and everyone . . . and all for FREE at that).

Now understand that I am NOT complaining here or offended in any way, shape or form by this availability of such sexual and erotic material and I myself do, in fact, appreciate having such material available for my own perusal or enjoyment anytime I myself might want it (not that I am an outright porn freak myself but, amongst the nearly-limitless range of resources one can find & make use of on the Internet and in life-at-large, it is just one more option to have at my avail if so desired . . . along with all the web's news sites, online banking, scholarly sites, online encyclopedia sites, social media sites, City-Data.com, etc. etc. etc. ) but it does make me ask myself: "Why would all these individuals want the entire world and for all time to come to know them so intimately and see, hear, and experience them in the most private and intimate ways conceivable?" I am personally glad and appreciative that they DO take it upon themselves to do so but I would never want to do so myself.

These individuals are seemingly OK with having you watch them engaging in sexual intercourse, oral sex, anal sex, self-masturbation, masturbation of others, having sex toys or other items inserted in their various bodily orifices, and so on. I mean it just boggles my mind. Would they choose to, as well, engage in these sex acts right in front of you and I (or us) in-person and let us observe it all in-person? And if the answer would be "No", then I would wonder "But they are totally OK and cool with doing it on live camera for posting for viewing on the web or for download to be viewed anytime by the entire lot of humanity (with anyone and everyone being able to freely view and hear them like this)?" And this includes being viewable in these most intimate and private situations prospectively by their parents, their siblings, their present or future children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, their grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces, former or present or future classmates and teachers, former or present or future employers, former or present or future neighbors, any former or present or future acquaintances of theirs, and anyone and everyone else in the lot of humanity . . . and for all time to come!

What are your thoughts on what you think are their underlying motivations and their thinking as to why these individuals or couples or friends and acquaintances of theirs feel compelled and then take it upon themselves to post ALL the vast, seemingly endless supply of such audio-visual materials (i.e., videos) of themselves in these sexual situations for absolutely everyone and anyone to view and hear and forevermore (for all eternity to come) . . . and for FREE at that?

Or please share if you personally know or knew others who have done these deeds and spoken about it with you, or if you yourself have done these deeds yourself and can share your own thinking on these questions as to why you did it or continue to do it.

Many reasons:
They are stupid and don't understand how Internet works.
All they want is 5 minutes of fame.
They think they are great and better than others.
That's their thrill.
They think that nobody knows them as long they stay anonymous.
They think with their head and not with their brain.
They want to sell their private moments to porn companies.
They suffer psychological disorder called Exhibitionism.

Some video/pix might be taken on not-so voluntary basis. (forced, drugged or drunk)
or one or both participants don't know that they are filmed, or promised that the pix/video clips will be kept private.

BTW: I noticed that you underlined the word FREE. Would it bother you less if they would get paid for it?

The fact that they do these deeds at all doesn't "bother" me at all in any way, shape or form (as I stated in my posting), as even I myself enjoy the endless availability of such material if I am in the mood. And I respect their rights to do whatever they want with their own lives and I myself am not a prude nor do I look at sexual activity as dirty or immoral in and of itself (it all depends on how it is done, in what context it is done, with whom it is done, and that there be no element of coercion or trickery or deception or of violating others' free will and choice, and certainly should never ever involve children nor youths earlier than the agreed-upon "age of consent").

My interest in asking is strictly as a matter of pure intellectual curiosity as to their psychology of motivation (i.e., that they appear to be seemingly OK with everyone and anyone knowing them in this most intimate and private way and for all eternity to come and for FREE at that). And as I also stated in my posting, I can understand if it is an economic or money-making proposition for them (for it must surely be an assured way to bring in income and prospectively for as long as they remain alive) . . . yet, in this context discussed by me, there is no economic incentive that I can see or figure, as they are posting (or having posted for them by others) such materials FOR FREE.

So they are motivated to allow anyone and everyone to know them so intimately and privately for all eternity to come and they don't even receive any financial or other compensation or reward for it all (unless there are details involving compensation or earned income that I don't know about in this regard). So, if there is, in fact, no financial reward for them, then why do they do it? As long as all these activities are, in fact, wholly voluntary and willful on their own parts and don't involve any degree of trickery or deception of them by others, I am appreciative that they do take it upon themselves to do so, but why would they want to (if not compensated for it otherwise)? Do they feel that they live just to FREELY please & titillate folks like me and all of the rest of humanity who are willing to partake of such materials? I say to them all "Thank you so very much! but why?"

As to the boldfaced quote above: So some of them may be "forced, drugged or drunk" or otherwise tricked or surreptitiously filmed for these purposes? And yet, if so, then the perpetrators of these crimes are posting said materials online FOR FREE themselves. So what is the reward for these alleged criminal perpetrators? I can see if it is being posted by them to sites that expect single payments for single viewings or for viewers to have regular paid subscriptions required of them (so therefore there is income there for the perpetrators). But even these alleged criminal perpetrators are posting these materials for free. So why would THEY do so? Do the alleged criminal perpetrators feel that they owe it to folks like myself and all the rest of humanity who are open to viewing such materials to always be there for us to FREELY entertain and titillate us with an endless supply of such materials and with no reward being in it for THEM?



Beyond addressing the boldfaced comment of yours above:

All of the original possible explanations you stated for why such participants might engage in these deeds sound quite plausible. As to the suggested possibillity that at least some of these participants might be motivated by various psychological characteristics such as their personal egos or an exhibitionist inclination: So they are willing or psychologically needing to satisfy their psychological cravings for ego satisfaction and/or exhibitionism by engaging in such activities and, along with this, it is interesting that they seem to not seek compensation for this at all to go along with this pursuit of satisfying their own psychological drives or needs (unless there is a way that they DO get compensated that I am unaware of). Hmm, very very interesting! This phenomenon is meriting of a psychological or psychiatric research study.

And the alleged "exhibitionists" amongst this population (or at least some of them) have no limits or parameters whatsoever on WHOM they are willing to have their wares and talents exhibited TO? In posting or having posted for them their videos for free on the web, they are allowing everyone and anyone at all (and for all eternity to come) to be able to view them anytime, anyplace, and anywhere in these situations. Wow! The variances in human psychology are truly intriguing and fascinating!

OP: Its a valid and good question you pose. IMHO, a lot of people find their lives boring and routine. I think that a lot of unusual or risky activities that people take up, they do out of simple boredom. Some sky dive or mountain climb, and some are exhibitionists or just sexually promiscuous. People do all kinds of things like this to entertain themselves. Some just go a little beyond what we would consider "safe". And after all, in our "no judgment" society, others might know, but most will not say anything to them personally. In fact, if someone did find out, many consider it impolite to share the information.

Agreed. Note that the first responder to my initial posting in this thread (Elnina, the Moderator) said that some do it for their "5 minutes of fame" (the usual saying is one's "15 minutes of fame"). But do the participants in such videos care exactly what it is that they become famous FOR? They don't care, as long as they achieve some degree of fame, notoriety, and bragging rights? I can imagine some male going around to everyone he meets and/or contacting everyone he knows and saying:
"Hey, guess what? There is a FREE video on the web of me masturbating myself! Here's the web address and link for you all to download it. Ain't that cool? Ain't I the hippest and coolest dude you ever met or ever will meet or know?" Like duh!!!

What's next? Some male or female going around to everyone he or she meets and/or contacting everyone he or she knows and saying to them:
"Hey, guess what? I posted a FREE video on the web of me doing a # 2 and then wiping myself afterwards!!! Here's the web address and link for you all to download it. Ain't that cool? Would you like my autograph?" Like duh!!!

In other words, do fame seekers care at all as to exactly WHAT they achieve fame or notoriety FOR? It reminds me of Mark David Chapman (the assasin of former Beatle John Lennon in 1980). When asked why he did it, he said "I wanted to be famous". If this was really his true motive, I'd ask him the same question:
"But do you not care at all as to exactly what you achieve fame or notoriety FOR? Is THAT what you wish to be known for? How about for committing an act of bravery, or for being a Good Samaritan or a hero for rescuing a group of children from immiment death or harm, or for writing a good book or books or magazine articles, or for developing a valued talent such as playing a musical instrument or singing, or for overcoming adversity and therefore being an inspiration to others, for being a great comedian or joketeller or humorist, or a seemingly limitless range of other options and possibilities? Do you really think that anyone at all that you would ideally want to be admired and respected by is going to admire and respect you for assasinating anyone and then,at that, a world-known admired, loved, and respected public figure such as John Lennon? You just make yourself the object of hate, ridicule, and derision by all. Did you not realize that?"

In the same way, I'd wonder of these free web porn participants (who are not otherwise operating under any degree of force or trickery or deception) if this is what they want to be known for by all. I doubt that they are all psychologically disturbed and deluded. So I wonder to myself "I mean, so THIS is what they want bragging rights to and to achieve fame and notoriety for?" Hmm, fascinating! I'd say to them "Thank you so very much for what you FREELY choose to do for all of us partakers for our continual titillation and enjoyment and then at no cost to all of us partakers. But why?"
