Have you ever made a sex video?

Did you plan in advance what you were going to do? Just spur of the moment? Camera angles? How do you decide? I’m feeling like there are a lot of logistics here.

  • Nope. I doubt many people would be interested in viewing it if I did. I have however made videos. You are correct about the work involved. You only really need one camera and a good operator. Good sound and good lighting is essential. Most such videos could be made in a bedroom. A quiet location where there are not background noises is best. Carpeted floors will help as would sound dampening like sheets of foam on the walls. For lighting you can get aluminum reflector shades at Walmart or such places and then use LED lamps to produce a high level of lumens without adding a lot of heat. Since the bulbs don't get hot you can paint the top half of the bulb with silver reflective paint and get globe lights for this as they diffuse the light better. For reflector screens you can spray paint poster board with white reflector paint and then hang them on the walls to add light. Make sure you have light aimed in at the subject from multiple angles so as not to have dark spots a common mistake in adult videos. You only need one really good microphone suspended from a boom above the action to pick up sounds. NEVER dub in "porn music" nobody really likes it. Also don't dub in fake moans and "oohs" and "ahs" as everyone can tell they are fake. Just go with natural sex sounds. The sound of sticky gooey body parts rubbing in and out of each other is way better than anything you can fake.

    For the low end of what you can use to come up with a quality video I recommend a Canon m50 DSLR and the best macro lens you can afford. The camera should set you back around $800-$900. The lens, depending on which one you use can cost between $300 and $2000+. If you can, don't go cheap. A quality lens is almost more important and in some cases far more important than a good camera. For sound go with a Blue Yeti. They will give you near pro quality and are only about $140 new. Suspend it from a boom for around $100. Light stands are optional but you can get decent ones for about $30 each. You can attach lights to the stands using zip ties. If you want to be able to control the light intensity use Dimmable LED globe lights and a dimmer switch designed for LED lights. I got my lights for about $3 each and the switch was around $20. You will want a head phone to plug into the blue yeti so you can monitor sound. It is possible to make a decent video with one person acting as director and videographer and then just your performers. But a good video with more professional production standard would result from at least two and preferably three camera angles. I would recommend one operator using a handheld for odd angles and close ups. They should have a very steady hand. Then two others with cameras on tripods, and wheeled ones if you can afford them. Multiple light sources to saturate the set with good lighting. The importance of strong lights cannot be over emphasized. If you have strong lights you don't need your aperture open as wide and that means focusing will be easier. So a full crew would be three camera operators, one person running lights, one or two people with microphones on sound booms monitoring sound and a director. Usually the director doubles as wardrobe person. Typically your cast will do their own make-up. Often the director will run one of the cameras. Besides the above many production companies employ "fluffers" to assist in getting the cast "ready" for sex scenes. Often your cast is chosen for their looks not their skills. A fluffer is someone who may not be much in the looks department but is very good at the physical side of things and can get a soft penis hard much quicker than cast members often can. Keeping the guy hard is critical in straight and gay porn as your audience does not want to see a soft penis. For all Lesbian scenes they usually are not needed. Usually a major production company will use a set outside of a domestic setting for practical reasons.

    • Wow! Thank you for the thoughtful response! Definitely don’t want many people viewing our video, lol. It will just be for us. But I appreciate all your advice.

    • Well in that case then a lot of what I said you can skip. Set one camera on a static tripod and point it in the general direction of where you will be and don't leave it zoomed in. Then a second hand held camera the two of you can use for close-ups. Don't forget to always look through the view finder. Nothing worse than playing back a video to find the camera was pointed some place else and you didn't record that really hot scene you just finished and good luck!

    • Perfect advice! Thank you!

  • Me and my wife were paid $10k to shoot a few hours of video once, it was professionally filmed so not like an amateur one. It was a nice experience - and we often rewatch clips of it as foreplay.

    • Wowww! Congrats on your film debut!

    • Thanks! Appreciate it!

  • Planned with cameras and lighting, that's just awkward, uncomfortable, with a lot of excitement the first time "mama I'm gonna be in a porno!", then, you know it actually starts and discomfort, what you want, chaffing, none of it matters, performance and appearance do.

    Unplanned with girlfriends, my wife and girlfriends we've had which makes for crappy looking videos, but is far far more enjoyable. You know, being more concerned about enjoying yourself than what a photographer is telling you to do.

  • A friend and I made a series of 8 one hour videos of us doing different things, but one rule was that sex had to be part of each one. It is not as simple as one would think until giving it a try. We were paid $1200.00 for our videos when they were accepted by the website. That was 17 years ago!

    • Wow! Good for you.

    • What site 👻 hehe

    • @Aakash_Hangargi The site is called "Sell Your Own Sex Tape"! It is still active after all these years and the fee is now up to $2000 for entering your tapes

  • I have, yeah.

    It's purely a spur of the moment thing. Like, "Hey, film this from your angle," and then, "Let's put the camera on the desser, now!"

    • That sounds like fun!

    • Oh, it definitely is!

  • no, I haven't, maybe because we are to intent on what we are doing, and afterwards to bloody exhausted to even think about it

  • Never done any sex video or naked pictures.

  • Yes have done

    totally on the spur and we giggled through most of it.

    it was likely too heavy on the props anf the lines just a bit too cheesy and bad Swedish / German lol

    • Hahaha! I love that! Giggling is the best. I know some German. 🤣

  • Yes and no LOL after I got my ex out of my house a couple of her friends would like to come over because their parents lived like five houses down for me and I guess my ex used to tell them things about are sexual fun or habits or whatever the girl that knew my ex they were pretty close and then the other girl was that girl's sister and she would always come over and borrow tools from me because her car was always breaking down or something and one day she came over and asked me if I can look at her car for her and I said yep went to her house found the problem within a minute or two went into her house wash my hands and this I know who I was in her room and when I walked in she had three camera setup and she asked if I knew anything about cameras and I should little bit not much she said I should have you take a look at them she can't get them to work right And I said Okay and she says well no not right now is it okay anyway one thing led to another to another to another and we were both naked and fucking because my ex used to tell her stories about us bucking she wanted to know if they were true but anyway all I can say is it was a good time but about four months later I get a phone call from a friend of mine and she said mr. Stud when did you start making pornos and I laughed and I said yeah right and she goes good check your email so I did and I said oh fuck no does 3 cameras works just fine and she was very good Editor to but there's like a 35 minute movie I watched it and then I tried calling her she didn't answer the phone so I tried baby three or four times little bit later still no answer and I went out to get some gas for my lawn mower and I seen her at the store getting gas so I pulled in I said hello chit-chatting for a second and then I said so why did you make a movie movie of me and why did you send it to a company and what you doing on the internet she swore up and down she didn't know what I was talking about we went to her house in the movie was gone she said the only other person who knew about it with her sister she called her sister her sister said Yes my ex wanted so she took it in send it to my ex a mi ex got paid $3,000 for it well it took me quite a while but I got it removed from that porn site but it has been bought and bought so many times and had been renamed at least 12 times they said it was going to be impossible and cost me lots of money to have all those removed and they still couldn't guarantee that it would be removed so to this day every once in a while I run into it LOL but it still pisses me off just the principle of the whole thing

  • We make a lot of sex videos the cameras are set up in our room and we also use our phones and other recording devices sometimes we plan it with outfits and what sex acts we plan on doing

    • and are the vids just for you two or do you share them with others?

    • I’m curious if you share them too.

  • I haven't made one really. My girlfriend filmed me fucking her on her phone for when she wanted to mssturbste on her own.

  • My husband has a few of us a couple of me with two different strangers

    • very nice

  • Yeah made a couple with my boyfriend for my only fans. Fans didn't like it very much 😂😂

    • Ouchhhhhh. Link please. 🙃

    • Lmao doesn't exist any more sorry

    • @smashingdoozy Thank god your onlyfans no longer exists 🙏. It would probably make it impossible for me to get off my porn addiction 🥵😉 If you don’t mind the question: why did you delete your OF?

  • No, absolutely not.

  • Nope 😅 at least not yet anyway 😂

  • There isn't any logistics,

    1. If you want POV style, have sex in missionary style, and ask your man to hold the cam
    2. If you want side view, place the cam in a stable position and have sex.

    Also, keep the video safely. "Homemade" and "leaked" videos are the hottest videos on porn sites.

    • Good advice! Thank you!

  • Guys I’ve been with have. I just did whatever they wanted. Made me feel like I was their own personal pornstar, which was really hot

    • Glad to hear you liked that. :)

  • It wasn't planned out but we did film everything. Me giving him a lapdance and stripping down sexily, then the foreplay and the fucking

  • Not really a lot of logistics and here is why. I bought a Panasonic cam/corder , and an inexpensive tripod. We usually had sex, in either missionary or rear entry position, since that seemed easier at the time, to set the tripod up where you wanted it. Rear entry is best, since you can set the tripod/camera closer for close up shots, since she is on hands and knees, and me standing by the side of the bed. You can only get so close, like that because the tripod legs hit the bed, and the camera does not telescope out. Like most home porn you see, you, of course, have to start the camera manually, or use the Remote to start filming. Get a tripod with, (most of them are) adjustable legs to raise/lower the camera. Hope this next is not too graphic, but here goes.
    If you and your partner/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend want very close up shots of his penis going in and out, etc., you have to hold the camera in his/her hand and that can be tricky, ie shaking hands holding it during the thrusting. It goes without saying that it is much easier, to have a third party holding the camera, and my wife and I had her girlfriend who COULD of and probably WOULD, but I was too chicken to ask her.
    Good luck, and enjoy, as it is an very interesting and very sexual thing for you to watch and enjoy. It as much fun to film, as it is to watch it later, and you can keep for you use and viewing later and masturbation if you want.

  • Not copping to that sorrreee 😜

  • Nope, never.
    I'd be too shy. Plus, I'd be worried if someone saw it
