Ok, saw all of the coverage of the John Edwards affair tonight and now, once again, we hear there's a "sex tape." And both parties are very anxious to get it back!

Why on Earth are people stupid enough to videotape their "activities?" Why people like this, in particular, who have a WHOLE lot to lose if the tape is discovered (and it usually is, eventually)?

I don't care if you're married or having an affair, young or old, rich or poor, videotaping yourselves having sex is probably the dumbest thing a couple can ever do because of the ramifications the minute the relationship hits a pothole. So why do a lot of people still do it?

You've already said it several times but I'll chime in with people do think past the "moment". They never think about the future. Someone once asked Janet Jackson about filming and she said she would be open to it, but her biggest fear was the tape getting out so as much as she would like to, she never has and never will.

I wonder if Janet Jackson can even give me an erection to boot

Seriously? So, people don't have a problem with a camera aimed at them? I'd find that rather creepy.

I don't think I could perform with a camera focused on me. Or keep a straight face for that matter. Seriously, I don't get it either.

I totally agree with the OP and the posters... Why would u tape yourself? U know it's going to come back and to haunt you. What I don't get is why would a smart man like Edward's did such a dumb thing. He is rich and powerful and the one with the most to lose. The woman could always use the tape to blackmail Edward's. Why would he give a some chic you he was messing around with that kind of power?

It makes me think that more people tape themselves than we realize. I wouldn't want to. But maybe I'm in the minority.

It seems weird if you think of taping as an aberration, but if most people wind up taping themselves, then it's not as strange to think that there would be a tape to leak.

I think that in this day and age a couple taping themselves is not unusual. Would suggest that one always know the location of the tape and destroy it when the relationship goes sour.

I can't imagine why anyone would do it...period. I don't care how old you are or how hot you are...do folks sit around watching video of themselves having sex?

Who does that unless you plan to post it on the Internet? What is the point?
