"At a bar late on Friday night, I ran into an old pal from Canada named Francois. We were catching up, and we got into our jobs&amp;amp;#8212;he&amp;amp;#8217;s working in advertising; I&amp;amp;#8217;m doing, well, this. As we got more into my work, we moved into the topic of sex, and pornography and Francois shared something&amp;amp;#8217;s super surprising and super naughty&amp;amp;#133;. When he has women over, and they are getting it on, they often films their coitus. Francois got this wicked little grin on his face when he told me: &amp;amp;#8220;You know, sometimes I just point to the camera on top of the computer (nothing fancy, whatever came with his Mac&amp;amp;#133;no pun intended) and asks if I should turn it on.&amp;quot; More often than not, he says, girls are into it. Now, this was only surprising to me because I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t think any of my friends were into that and Francois is nominally a conservative fellow. The more I think about it though, the more I come to the conclusion that, when it comes to sex, I would be more surprised if I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t surprised by what my friends are into than if they described things exactly as I expected. I know people film it. I know this because of the topic of conversation which led us to sex in the first place: pornography. We got on to the topic of couples filming it because I revealed to Francois that that is the only form of pornography I&amp;amp;#8217;ll download: the home-made kind. I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure there&amp;amp;#8217;s a whole host of psychological reasons for this, as well as aesthetic, but on the most basic level, I find the pornography industry is so exploitative, misogynistic and predatory that I can&amp;amp;#8217;t support it in any way. Now, if you&amp;amp;#8217;ll excuse me while I step down from my pornography high horse, back to my friends pushing the Record button. When my younger sister was in college, I never presumed to dispense much sex advice to her or her friends except this nugget, which I often repeated: &amp;amp;#8220;No matter how much you love him, and how much you trust him, never let him film it.&amp;amp;#8221; These were college girls, and I felt that lesson would be particularly scarring to learn the hard way at that age. But really, should that lesson apply to people at any age? And by people, I mean women. Unless you&amp;amp;#8217;re a famous guy, no one really cares about seeing you do it&amp;amp;#133;and even then, not really. Am I being a prude? Do I not understand the boundaries of trust in normal relationships? My friend just told me about it&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s not like he offered to show me. Maybe my worry that other guys who would film it could not resist the urge to share it, with their friends, or the internet at large. What do you think&amp;amp;#8212;is it ever a good idea to film it? If so, When? Have a question for Single John? Submit it here.
