What Happens In the Bedroom, Stays In the Bedroom! [.13]

You’ve heard the phrase, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!” Well consider the saying, “What happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom!” It’s a code that we should all live by, no matter what. No one likes a person who kisses and tells. Why? Well, it’s bigger than not wanting someone to know your business, you also have to factor in the consequences of people knowing too much. Point blank–when people decide to go against the code, the results could be disastrous.

Case in point–the new Hollywood fad seems to be celebrity exposure, literally. From Rihanna to Cassie to Hoopz, the sensual details of these women’s lives are being broadcast across all media outlets. Are two consenting adults creating home masterpieces for their own viewing pleasures wrong? Absolutely not, but, they have to take responsibility for their choices if it ever became leaked.

Contrary to what many believe, all media isn’t good media. The release of information such as this could have a harmful impact on the women and men, their lives, image and careers. Just imagine if the Obama’s had created a home video, their publicist would be drowning in damage control.

So it leads me to ask, why are we creating this stuff and is it necessary? Unless you wouldn’t mind that kind of exposure, the cons definitely outweigh the pros. Creating home videos and quick snap shots of our goodies are constant reminders of how vulnerable our positions are and with duplication being so easy, it could always be a skeleton in our closets.

While most of us will never reach Rihanna status and national exposure of our short films is unlikely, we should still be mindful of the possibility. Who wants their church screening Preacher’s Kids Gone Wrong or the barbershop selling your next door neighbors night out, two for $10? That’s definitely not a good look!

It’s also good to consider who we’re creating this stuff with. People may be great in the beginning of relationships but you never know what could set them off to leak your most intimate details. Its hard to look at the people we love and have thoughts like that, but being a little cautious never hurt anyone. I always say sleep with one eye open!

Imagine if you made a tape with your ex and because you married someone else, he/she gave your husband/wife a copy of the naughty person you used to be. That would be a pretty interesting wedding gift!

I understand the pressure to be kinky and exotic but maybe you should save living out your fantasies with the person you marry. At least the chances of them screwing you (no pun intended) are fewer than some random person you dated for a few years.

What do you think? Do you think making videos and taking pictures are still worth the risk?
