Paris Hilton and Edison Chen

It seems the Edison Chen photo scandal might well be a true story and the reason is he and his girlfriends were seeking a Paris Hilton moment. Yes, so the theory goes, they thought that emulating Paris Hilton’s sex video would bring them similar notoriety and fame.

Chen and the gals finally made it to CNN which gives me more pause for thought - check it out here on YouTube. Could we still all be duped?

I’m much more interested though in the fact that photographing and videoing one’s sex life is now regarded as almost normal - almost but not quite. Take a look at the pix on Hollywood grind and wonder how it is possible to be involved in an erotic moment when you’re lining up the shot or rushing over to the bed after having set the shot up.

There’s something weird here and it’s to do with the death of intimacy. A porn-film director I interviewed a year back told me his own interest in porn began as a young man when he wanted to see the mechanics of sex, just to get the info (I suggested did he mean biology?) but as he grew older he wanted to make porn movies where some of the shame of sex was evident.

I couldn’t work that part out either - shame? But he meant the idea that this is something we should be doing with restraint and that intimacy is built through a sense of embarassment, awkwardness etc, that penetration is a difficult deal to get done.

I dont necessarily buy into his theory but Chen is clearly a man who is interested in the mechanics and his girlfriends seem to agree.

    […] Shocked by the behaviour of Edison Chen and his photos, somewhat perturbed by Britney Spears, disinterested in Pamela Andersen by intrigued by why Paris Hilton has to show off in public, I tried today to find the porn site I referenced earlier. In vain. I just couldn’t find it - the name had Twilight in there somewhere and so I went hunting down twilight in Google. It led me eventually to the photographs of Peter Hegre. […]
