How To Make a Sex Tape: Our Tops Tips for Staying Safe and Having Fun

Tempted by the idea of capturing your intimate moments with your partner, but afraid to take the plunge? Let the LOVE Team show you how to make a sex tape the right way, so you can have fun while staying safe.

A sex tape is an erotic or pornographic video made by amateurs, intended for private viewing for both partners’ sexual pleasure. Some celebs, like Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, have even had their sex tapes made public. The idea of filming yourself during the act can be thrilling, a kind of exciting voyeurism. Watching your sex tape together can also be a kind of foreplay – you can even watch your tape during sex! However, in our increasingly online world, it's of the utmost importance to keep your sex tape private to protect your intimate life. Beyond security concerns, you’ll also want to protect your relationship, ensuring the experience is positive for both partners.

So, are you ready to take the plunge and immortalise your most intimate moments with your partner? Before you start, you should know the golden rules of making a sex tape, so that you enjoy a safe and fun experience. Follow these tips to turn your sex tape into a precious and exciting memory. Lights, camera, action!

1. Choose the right partner

The golden rule is not to make a sex tape with a one-night stand. Ideally, this intimate experience should be shared with a trusted partner with whom you’re in a serious relationship. After all, making a sex tape is one of the most intimate sexual experiences a couple can share. So, be careful and choose the person with whom you'll share this unique moment wisely!

2. Talk things over with your partner

Open dialogue is crucial for any new sexual experience, and making a sex tape is no exception. Before you start filming, you’ll want to discuss your expectations and boundaries with your partner. For instance, you might be comfortable filming a striptease or oral sex but prefer to avoid filming penetrative sex. The length of the video is also important: maybe you don't want to film for hours, for example.

Think about the location too: would you prefer to stay in your usual bedroom for the comfort of the familiar, or splurge on a luxurious hotel room for the occasion? For a change of scenery, a seedy motel could also add a touch of the taboo.

Don't start filming until you're both on the same page. You might also want to choose a safeword, a word either partner can say at any time to signal they want to stop filming.

3. Get inspired by watching some erotic films together

If you're feeling a bit nervous or unsure about the artistic direction of your sex tape, why not watch some porn together for inspiration? This can help you understand what kinds of acts you want to perform in front of the camera. Plus, watching sexy videos together will really turn you on (it can even be foreplay).

This process will help you decide if you prefer more of a softcore sex tape or if you're ready for something more hardcore. With the wide variety of porn platforms available, you'll definitely find the right video for you!

4. Use an offline device for added security

Keeping your sex tape private is a top priority. The safest method is to use a device that doesn't connect to the Internet, like an old video camera. That way, you avoid the risks of hacking, accidental uploads to cloud storage, or online publication. After all, once something is posted online, it's never truly gone!

Filming your video the old-fashioned way gives you total control over how it’s shared. You can even store the tape in a safe with your valuables, passports, and cheque books for maximum security. This will help keep your privacy and prevent any risk of leaks.

5. Keep total control of your sex tape

Revenge porn, where erotic images are posted online after a breakup, is a harsh and devastating reality. Even if you think your relationship will last forever, it's impossible to predict the future. Relationships can sometimes unfortunately go sour.

By maintaining total control over your sex tape, you’ll protect your reputation at all costs. In the event of a breakup, you can simply destroy it, no questions asked.

6. Enjoy your sex tape together

Once you've made your film, it’s time for the big premiere: watching your creation together! You might feel a bit awkward at first seeing yourselves in the altogether on screen, but that feeling will quickly give way to the excitement of watching your sex session with your partner.


Use the opportunity to exchange some naughty words and maybe even refine your technique for the next session. Watching your sex tape during sex can add an even more erotic touch to your encounters. Either way, you'll be eager to do it again after watching your masterpiece!

7. Explore some alternatives if you’re not quite ready

If the idea of watching yourself make love with your partner excites you, but you're still a bit nervous about actually filming a sex tape, there are some equally thrilling alternatives you could try.

For instance, you could put a large mirror in front of your bed so you can admire yourselves during the act without needing a camera. You could also place the camera in front of your bed without turning it on, creating the illusion of filming without actually doing so.

Sex tapes aren't for everyone, and that's perfectly fine! The important thing is to figure out what makes you both comfortable and excited.

By following these golden rules, you'll make sure your sex tape is not only secure but also a source of pleasure for both of you. The main thing is that both of you feel comfortable and that everything is consensual. When both partners are excited and eager for the adventure, the experience will be even more intense and memorable.
