Poirot, "Can you explain why the men feel the need to plaster their sexual exploits up and down the net?"

Can you explain why women do the same, with bells on too because they sell tell-it-all stories to women's magazines?

Onthebeach, I doubt the sexual exploits alluded to in Women's magazines are hardly in the same category of seriousness as what is being suggested with the current scandal.

At least, they aren't that bad in the women's magazines I have read anyway.
Maybe you have read 'different' magazines then?

It must be bad if the army have stood down some men over the scandal already.
I haven't heard that any women have been stood down........have you?

onthebeach,

We are discussing here the posting online of explicit sexual videos and emails.

Women do not pass on explicit sexual videos, etc to women's magazines for the edification of the public.

Let's face it, this was nothing but a bit of posing and strutting by the men involved - and at the same time it had the added bonus of humiliating and demeaning the women involved as well.

(Bravo!)

I am still waiting to hear how these girls are humiliated any more than the men.

What the hell did they think the video machine was doing?

I recall some celebrity ladies bleating when their "private" sex videos turned up on the net. Of course you have to believe that these ladies didn't put it there to ginger up a fading career to start with if you want to be sorry for them.

Then you have to ask why they had a camera trained on their bed in the first place, if it wasn't to make videos for future display.

You'll have to work a lot harder to convince me the complainants aren't crying crocodile tears.

Hasbeen,

Oh now I can see why you and I are running at cross purposes here.

Here I am assuming that these videos were taken on the sly with a mobile phone (or some such contrivance) -

And you're assuming they had a whole swathe of production equipment, a hefty camera set up, and someone with a clapper board yelling "Action!"

Poirot, if not a full production team I am led to believe many of those celebrates home sex videos had at least a cameraman/woman involved.

No I doubt this is the case with these defense force videos, but many are probably mutually agreed filming of the event.

I gather you believe they are all hidden camera, secret filming events.

I admit I know little of the current development of couples or casual sexual partners filming their trysts, but I'm assured it is common.

As a bloke who's only camera is the one in the mobile phone my kids demand I carry on my wanderings, & I have yet to figure out how or if it works, I'm not into such activities. Nor indeed would I wish to publish the results if I were, but I think you will find many young women today, are not so inhibited.
