Tiwa Savage: Why Do Celebrities Film Sex Tapes?

Tiwa Savage: Why Do Celebrities Film Sex Tapes?

Leaking a sex video on social media is one thing, but whoever is in the video is the huge determinant of how much impact and controversy the video will generate.

Leaked sex videos are not new, however, they can be quite scandalous especially if the victim is a popular figure. 

Such is the case of Afrobeat singer, Tiwa Savage, who was all over the internet last week after her sex tape with her unknown boyfriend was leaked.

With the whole circumstances surrounding Tiwa's sex tape, social media users gave their different takes and opinions on the situation.

Some stood by her, saying she was a victim of revenge porn, while others blamed her for making a sex video. Another group opined that she must have leaked it herself to remain relevant and promote her recently-released EP 'Water and Garri.

The above begs the question, if she indeed leaked it herself, to what end?

As we all know, sex tapes create a lot of buzz and controversies around victims especially if they are public figures and many celebrities have ridden on the glory of leaked sex tapes in the past.

One of the typical cases is that of Kim Kardashian who became more popular when a sex tape with her boyfriend at the time, Ray J, leaked online in 2007.

American socialite, model, and singer, Paris Hilton was also catapulted to global fame after her sex tape leaked on social media in 2004 with her boyfriend, Rick Salomon. She went on to create her reality television series ‘The Simple Life’.

As convenient as this theory might sound, Tiwa might actually be a victim of revenge porn.

Revenge porn also known as non-consensual pornography is the distribution of one or more sexually explicit photos of someone else without the subject’s permission.

The sexually explicit images or video may be made by a partner of an intimate relationship with the knowledge and consent of the subject, or it may be made without his or her knowledge.

The possession of the material may be used by the perpetrators to blackmail the subjects into performing other sex acts, to coerce them into continuing the relationship, to punish them for ending the relationship, or to silence them.

Tiwa clearly stated that the 10-second clip was captured by her boyfriend and 'mistakenly' shared on Snapchat. She added that the boyfriend deleted it almost immediately but it was already captured by someone else who in turn tried to blackmail her with it.

This could be looked at in different ways. 

Some netizens posited that the 'boyfriend' may have been trying to send the tape to one of his friends as a form of bragging right that he is banging the 'great' Tiwa Savage but ended up uploading it on Snapchat.

While some stated that the 'boyfriend' might have posted it intentionally on Snapchat. Why would he want to leak it? 

In the 10-second clip, only Tiwa's face is shown and conveniently, nothing could be seen of the 'boyfriend' except his male organ.

Which brings us to the question, why do celebrities film sex tapes?

People have different reasons for filming sex tapes and their reasons are quite unique to them.
Some people want to relive the experience later. They get off on watching themselves (or their partner) experience sexual pleasure. Other people are exhibitionists who want to be watched while engaged in such intimate sessions.

Celebrities are not different despite the career risks attached if the tape falls into the wrong hands and someone distributes it without the celebrity's consent.

In some cases, celebrities film their sex tapes and leak them themselves in a strategic way to further boost their career and expand their image. After all, the saying goes, any press is good press.
