Hope you all enjoyed a lovely MLK holiday! (I went to WNYC’s MLK: Generations Speak.) Speaking of Things That Happened During the Weekend, did you catch the Golden Globe Awards? Hollywood Foreign Press gave a lifetime achievement nod (the Cecil B. DeMille Award) to Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro in presenting the honor: “Marty sleeps, drinks and eats film. I hear there are videos on the Internet of Marty having sex with film.” Ah, sex tapes. How àpropos! Recently, over Sunday night nibbles with three pals, I asked: “Have any of you ever taken nude photos of yourself or made a sex tape?” To my surprise, all three said “no.” I believe them … I just felt a little awkward being alone in the group. Granted, I’ve never made a full blown sex tape; that said, I’ve watched plenty & I’ve slapped my nude-but-not-visible videos on YouTube as well as bra/boobie shots. Plus, if you read Funky Brown Chick during the early years, you know I used to regularly post pics of my bare brown flesh in undies. I don’t think there’s anything inherently shameful, naughty or indecent about nude bodies.
On a related note, watch the above “Lemme See (Your Dick Pics) video by Carolyn Castiglia, Shawn Hollenbach and Soce The Elemental Wizard. (Pssst! You might recognize the latter from Jen Kwok‘s Date An Asian Man.) Okay, so, curious to know how many people have privately taken dick pics / boob shots or other bare flashes, via my Twitter, I asked the internet: “What percentage of people have made sex tapes or taken nude photos?” One of the immediate replies: “I don’t know numbers, but I think it’s a much bigger % than people would expect.” I agree. So, now I’ll ask you: Have you taken nude pics of yourself or any of your lovers? Have you ever made a sex tape? The comments section awaits your stories.

Of course!!! Pics only, but they’re out there – the gays are too finicky and like to know what they’re gettin’
Nope, no naughty pics here. Some things do not require photographs.
Yup, I’ve taken them, and I’ve had girlfriends let me take them, and the wife too. Mine are out there in the wild (no face included), but none of the exes or wife’s are out there. I’d never do that unless they were cool with it…
Never – that’s why having nasty sex in front of a mirror is so fun! All the visuals, without all the drama in replay . . .
Yes, sent photo of my ‘lady’ freshly waxed…soft and beautiful!
An ex made a video of himself masterbating for me.
And my current sent me a pix of his beautiful… :-)
Matthew: :)
Baba Doodlius: How do you know they don’t require photographs if you’ve never taken them? ;)
Mindspin: Yeah, taking fully nude pictures is one thing, posting them online is something else. I’ve done the former, not the later. Yet.
LadyD: OMG, there’s a mirror over my kitchen table. Hypothetically speaking, people could have sex while balancing on the table or while standing facing it. In either case, I think it’s kind of hot.
J’taime: I have a picture of some random British dude in my Lane chest. When I was a study abroad student, I gave a random stranger my camera and asked him to take a picture of me and my friends. Instead, he whipped it out and took a picture of it. To this day, it’s STILL one of my oddest stranger encounters. And, even now, I sill hesitate when asking people I don’t know to take pics of for me.
