Has making a sex video or tape crossed your mind before? Or have you and your partner filmed the entire act. Even if the video is made with your knowledge, how much can you trust your partner? While it all looks like fun, your partner may use it against you when things go bad.
According to the Nollywood actor, Chigozie Atuanya, “Even if you trust your partner enough to make a tape with them, what about other factors, that can eventually make it available to other people, who may often want to exploit you, with the tape.
For instance, your phone or that of your partner might get hacked, stolen or someone close to you, might intrude on your privacy, by checking your phone, making it possible for such a tape, to get into the wrong hands.”
He added, “Intimacy among couples should be something private, and personal, and not something to be recorded on phones or camera. A sex tape might be a bonding experience for you and your partner. It might spice up your sex life. It might even inject some excitement into your relationship but it’s not worth it. It brings about restlessness, uncertainty, and fear: not all relationship, always leads to happy ever after.”
