Remember that chick who worked at your local Blockbuster? You know the one I’m talking about. She had olive skin, a pretty face and what appeared to be a rocking body under the blue and tan uniform. Guess where she is now? Getting fucked on camera! That’s right, the gorgeous honey that made fun of you for renting Seabiscuit over and over again is now a porn star.

Besides making fun of you for renting a movie about a horse, Delilah Strong was stripping in Tampa when she was discovered by a Hustler magazine rep. She made her adult film debut shortly after and won an AVN award in 2009 for The Jenny Hendrix Anal Experience. If you haven’t seen that XXX gem, you need to get on it ASAP. It’s one of the best sex videos to cum out that year. When Deborah Coxxx’s daughter started out in the XXX biz she had A cup tits. She recently went under the knife to augment her ta tas to DDs for which Orgasm.com gives her a 21 dick salute. To be fair, we’d give any porn star a 21 dick salute purely because their jobs are to make sex video after sex video. Anyway, all hail Delilah Strong!

There is a special eroticism in making a sex video with one’s lover. We can see ourselves in a special way, fucking and enjoying pleasure and this can be a turn on like no other. In addition, we love the idea that we might share these films with others and get an erotic thrill knowing that others are getting off to our home made porn films. And yet there are some mistakes which lovers make and which are easily avoided for better x-rated thrills.

When making porn together, it’s important to remove any distractions which might keep other people from enjoying what you do. Don’t film in a room with a huge pile of dirty laundry or where a dog keeps moving into the frame. This isn’t bestiality, after all! Clean up and make things look as attractive as possible. If one wants something really exotic and fresh, try filming in a hotel room or in another location one has permission to use. Pay attention to the sound track as well — some amateur films are ruined by having commercials or a television playing the news in the background. Try putting on some sexy music instead, but also make sure it does not drown out the sounds of love making. Most people viewing adult videos enjoy the sound track of human sounds of passion, and are disappointed when a video hides these instead under loud music. Some people are embarrassed perhaps by the noises they make, but if one is willing to display one’s body let one’s aural side show too.

Make sure the lighting is good, as some films can be ruined by lighting which is too dim. It is probably a good idea to get some test shots first, filming a few seconds of film with the camera set up just as one plans to do and then check to make sure it looks good!

There’s no doubt about it, the rash of videos and tapes causing sex scandal around the world are a warning to the amateur pornographer. Though it seems like having our sex videos escape might be of a benefit in a certain line of work, indeed one often wonders whether the latest celebrity who sees her amateur fucktape escape onto the web is actually releasing it on purpose to get attention. But it can’t be denied that this kind of thing can sink the career of a politician, or even your local school teacher who commits the unthinkable sin, in our puritanical society, of having an active sex life well apart from her working life. This is sadly a truth in our current world.

Does this mean that one should never make porn together with a lover? One has to consider one’s current and future employment, and doubly so if one plans to post them on any kind of website with other adult video. One may be able to disguise one’s identity in some cases, but can one really rely on this? Further, what happens to any images where one’s identity is not diguised? How well do you trust the lover you are with? If one has just met, or even not been together very long it may be difficult to know what could happen, especially in the worst case scenario of a vindictive break up. Some couples agree to keep all recordings in the hands of the lover with the most to lose or the one who is most at risk if they come out. Even then how do we know that every copy is secure?

In the end none of us can completely control what happens with any images or content we put on our computers. Even if our lovers are totally trustworthy there is the possibility of an unscrupulous employee of a shop where we take our machines for repair, or even hackers, taking advantage of us by stealing our data including dirty images we might choose to make.

As we grew from 8-millimeter to triple x movie fare, to home video to straight-to-video features, so now do we view what we view across our PC screens in the privacy of our own homes. As all other businesses progress in some way or die on the vine, digital technology made the selling, distributing and production of the modern day porn films a wholly different business then it was even five years ago, let alone from way back in the day when stag films were produced for bachelor party viewing. Pornographers today realize that current technology renders old idea obsolete, that the time is well passed to ruminate over the changes in the business, that even when one idea is being tried another, better, faster and newer one is being considered. In all business this quicker-than-you-can-think-it mentality exists but never stronger than in the world of providing visual stimuli for masturbation. Technology is both a blessing-for those who wish to assimilate and dissect these images at and ever faster cheaper rate-or a curse-for those trying to sell their porn downloads to an audience who can get all that sucking and fucking for free if they wish to.

The scenarios, images and ideas of the classic fuck show will never go out of style. As a culture we like our naughty images and will forever search for them from various sources. It is not a question of what do about the production of dirty movies as much as how to produce and distribute a good sex film and how to create something ever newer that people will be willing to pay for.

It’s been announced that there exists a video of the tryst between Presidential hopeful John Edwards and the mother of his child, who isn’t his wife, Reille Hunter. The affair itself was scooped by The National Enquirer (a definite sign of the apocalypse) last year.

I don’t really know what it is. Yeah, she’s visibly pregnant (not my thing but I understand the appeal). Yeah JE is supposed to be hung like a planet (I’d rather watch porn that includes a big weener than a tiny one). And yeah I don’t find Ms. Hunter visually appealing in the slightest (how long is a camera ever really on a face anyway).

There’s just something about the two of them together that utterly repulses me. I suppose I could play the saint card and deduce that I am not attracted to this coupling because of the infidelity, but honestly I don’t really give a fuck. I could try to convince myself that it’s because, not only did John Edwards cheat on his wife, but he cheated on his wife who has terminal cancer…

Nope. Still don’t give a fuck.

So what is it?

I was all over the Paris Hilton sex tape, as ridiculous as it was. Searched high and low to get a viewing of Pam Anderson (of course) with Bret Michaels. Forced myself to watch Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart (with their friend and most hated person on TV’s Celebrity Rehab; Kari Ann Peniche). And am currently scrubbing my sources to get ahold of Carrie Prejean’s solo masterpiece. Only because I seem to like watching people I hate jerk themselves off…don’t ask.

What I have heard is that the 40 minute porn between Edwards and Hunter features the act very prominently, his WMD very prominently, his face on hold for a good 3 minutes (yick) and not a trace of her face (obviously the baby bump gives her away).

So there you go. That’s really all you or I need to know. Now I can go about waiting for the imminent Megan Fox sex tape.
