Millions eager to star in Japan's filthiest home videos
About one in three Japanese women are interested in having their sex captured on camera, says Spa! (1/16), which notes that about the same ratio of men have actually been laid for the lens.
"Mobile phones now have built-in video functions, so lots of guys who use them to film their sex are probably doing it for a bit of fun," a 33-year-old securities worker and practitioner of hamedori -- filming or photographing sex -- tells Spa! "If you whipped out a single-lens reflex camera the woman would probably get a bit antsy, but because it's a mobile phone, she'll often go along with it."
The bulk of Japan's hamedori fans say they engage in the practice for sexual stimulation.
"It's sort of an extension of dirty talk. You can tease women by pointing the camera at them and watching her blush. That alone is fun," a 29-year-old construction worker says. "You've got to make sure you dump the footage after you've taken it, though."
Not everybody does get rid of movies of them having sex, though. Many, especially men, keep the footage because it gives them the feeling of having appeared in an adult movie.
Of those who do retain the film, one-quarter do so because they want to watch it together with their girlfriend at a later date. Still more want to use it as inspiration for later liaisons, while still others use it when they want to (or have to) pleasure themselves.
"I want to use it to objectively analyze my sexual technique," was one of the answers given to Spa!'s poll on why people want to keep hamedori shots, but the men's weekly notes that it was definitely a view held by a minority.
Only about 5 percent of people actually saved their hamedori footage on a CD, with 46 percent disposing of the files and 34 percent simply leaving it on their mobile phones or PC hard disks.
"It's only something I do for a bit of sexual stimulation," a 31-year-old editor tells Spa!, referring to his hamedori habit. "That's all. After that, you get a bit sick of it."
