While we wade through Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart and that Kari Anne Peniche's lawyers' statements trying ardently to wriggle them out of this mess, it's always nice to revel in a silver lining. Can Sex Sell... Abstinence?
Could sex tapes actually be good for you?
E! Online's Counterpunch column says "yes." God bless 'em.
Proving that Hollywood and its actors are a big joke, Counterpunch says sex tapes boost the careers of their stars, because it's actually a part on camera! It's a tough town and not everyone can find work. A sex tape all but assures a starring role. It's a think-outside-the-box audition tape.
"Look no further than Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian," Steve Javors, editor-in-chief of the adult-industry trade magazine XBIZ Premiere, told E! in an email. "Sex tapes have been proven to provide a significant career boost."
But let's say you're just a school teacher in Nebraska and your husband is an accountant—do sex tapes have their benefits then? Or is this only a hobby for the rich, famous and genetically gifted?
"There are many, many benefits," Sex Drive Radio's Ava Cadell assured us. "You're living out a fantasy together. You're expanding your sexual horizons. You're adding playfulness...It just opens a whole avenue of escape. I suggest it to my clients."
Well, there you have it. Who needs couples therapy when you have a sex tape. Readers, would you ever make a sex tape?
