Recording your sexy-times can be great for “use” later, and can add a new dynamic to your sex sessions. Getting your partners permission is the first step to any good recording session. After that, there’s setup, storage, privacy, and if you’d like to share the recordings or not. This will also start a good line of communication with your SO about recording as well.
Permission and Communication
Getting your partners permission to record the sex session is paramount. If there is an expectation of privacy, then legally permission is required. Personally, if you ever want your partner to trust you again, get permission. Not getting permission is a really shitty thing to do. Get Permission. Make it clear with what will happen with the video, where it will be stored, and how it will be kept private.
Some other things to think about are what is said during the sex session during the recording. The positions your SO might like to see or not see. Things you want to see recorded or not see recorded. There may be positions your partner doesn’t want filmed, or certain sex acts they might not want on film.
Setup
Setup can be as complicated or simple as you’d like. Using just your phones camera works, as does a 3 camera setup with lights and sound. Using your phone is going to be the go to method to grab footage. They make small tripods that you can get at Amazon. They come with a clamp that holds your phone, and that particular one has a bluetooth remote included. You can also get a clamp mechanism to connect your phone to a standard tripod. The issue most people want to avoid is editing. That can be very time consuming and eats up a lot of space.
Your setup will dictate the kind of video you end up with. Having a tripod will be more like watching 3rd person porn. Holding the camera/phone will allow you to have more of a POV porn. Part of communicating with your partner is what you want to end up with, so think about this with your setup.
Location
One of the things to consider is location. Do you want to try something quick in the car? Go camping? Rent a hotel room so none of your personal things are visible, which would help with security.
Recording
When you start recording, make sure your partner knows what’s going on. Based on what you communicated when you discussed permission and communication, you should be prepared to start and stop recording. Alternatively, you can have a more planned out session where you’ve agreed to only do acts X and Y. Maybe you just want a POV of a blowjob, maybe you want to record doggy style and that’s it. Those are all OK, just communicate and make sure everyone is having a good time.
The vast majority of your homemade porn will be done on a phone. That’s just the reality of what’s easily available to most people. Before you record, make sure you have thought through your photo sharing situation, and the automatic backups and who has access to them as well.
Storage and Privacy
Once you get the footage off your device, you can store it on USB, your computer, or keep it in the cloud. There are a lot of options and depending on your comfort level, they offer varying levels of security.
Keeping your files on a USB drive is probably the most secure. You can keep a small USB drive hidden easily. There are open source and paid programs to secure them, and some USB sticks are secure by design. Keeping the videos on your computer is probably the second most secure. But, that depends on you how secure you keep your computer. Do you always lock it, or can the kids login under your username? Can they see your files logged in as themselves? The next is having it stored in the cloud. Amazon Photos, Google Photos, Apple iCloud, Microsoft One Drive, all these can store your videos easily, and all allow some security between access and security.
You have to discuss this, and then come up with a solution that you are both comfortable with for storage. Maybe it’s a combination, and you end up with some online and others stay at home on a USB drive in a safe. There’s not wrong answer, just think about it and discuss it, finding what’s best for you and your partner.
If you have decided to try to obscure your faces or other things from the video, there are some options out there. They vary from on the phone to software you download on your Mac/PC. None of them look particularly complicated, so adding that to your video shouldn’t be too difficult.
Conclusion
As you can see, there is quite a bit to talk about and decide! So, before you jump in and start recording, the key is to talk first! Pretty coon, you might have a library to look at while you are alone, or maybe play in the background while you are both enjoying each other as well.
