Do you ever watch porn and find yourself wishing it was you performing all those sexy acts on camera? Maybe you think you can do better, or maybe you’re looking for a way to spice up your sex life. Whatever the reason, DIY porn can be a lot of fun if you know what you’re doing. In fact, lots of people are doing it, whether it’s to share with others or keep for their own private collection.
You can figure out what to do with your homemade porn later, but for now let’s talk about how to make something worth watching. First and foremost, you want to make sure it’s a fun experience for all parties involved, otherwise don’t even bother hitting the “Record” button. Once everyone is on board and ready for a good time, follow these tips to make sure your porn is something to be proud of.
1. Consent
Before you do anything, make sure you get consent from your partner(s). Talk about what you’re going to do with the film, who’s going to see it, and how it will be disposed of if need be. You may even want to consider writing up an agreement and having everyone involved sign off before things get rolling.
2. Set the Stage
You don’t need to write a script (though you can if you really want to), but you do need to set the stage for where your porn is going to be filmed. Make sure the room you choose to film in is clean – you don’t want to watch this film later and be distracted by the giant pile of laundry in the corner or food left out on the counter. You want the focus to be on you and your partner, so removing any visual distractions is key.
3. Personal Grooming
You can’t look sexy on camera if you don’t feel sexy, so do whatever you need to do to boost your confidence before getting the party started. Wax or manscape if that’s your thing, take a shower, put on something sexy, and do your makeup if you really wanna go full-on porn star.
4. Get in the Mood
It’s important to be in the right mind-set for your DIY porn, so make sure you feel good before the camera starts rolling. Take the time spoil yourself — have a nice dinner, take a bath, go for a run, or have some good make out time with your partner. If none of the above works and you’re still feeling self-conscious (or having doubts) then hold off until you’re feeling better about it.
5. Lighting
Good lighting is perhaps the most important element to movie-making. You could shoot the hottest porn in the whole world, but if your lighting is off that hotness just won’t translate to the small screen. Candlelight might be nice in person, for example, but it looks very dark on camera and makes it difficult to see anything. You should also stay away from overhead fluorescent lights since it’s about the most unflattering lighting you can possibly imagine — unless you’re doing a hospital/naughty doctor scene, in which case it might work.
Soft, bright lighting works best, so replace all your regular light bulbs with “Soft White” bulbs you can pick up at your local home improvement store. To help diffuse the glow and minimize any imperfections, try putting shades over your lamps as well. Don’t forget to test your lighting on film before you do any shooting to see if adjustments need to be made. If you’re having trouble with artificial lighting you can also try shooting during the day since natural lighting always works best.
You should also be aware of angles because if all your lighting is coming from down below, you might find it makes you look heavier than you are. If your lighting is all coming from directly overhead, you may notice it highlights all the imperfections you want to minimize. Typically lighting that is a little up and off to the side is best for dealing with these issues.
6. Picking your Camera
When it comes to DIY porn any camera will do, so don’t feel like you need to go out and spend money on anything fancy. Often times the camera on your phone will work great — just make sure you have enough storage space to save it. Also, if you do use your iPhone make sure you turn off your iCloud to avoid accidentally auto-sharing your video with your family on the shared stream.
What’s most important is that you get a tripod as that will keep your images stable. You can find some really affordable ones that will easily attach to your phone or any digital camera. It’s worth the investment, since nothing kills a DIY porn video like shaky camera work.
7. Camera Angles
Once you have your camera and lighting set-up figured out, it’s time to think about camera angles. Take pictures of yourself at different angles to see how you look and determine which one is your best. If you want to look thinner, film from above. If you want to look heavier, film from below. You can also switch angles as you’re filming, then cut from one to the next during editing to make things even more exciting.
8. Background Noise
Background noise can be just as distracting as piles of laundry, so make sure your environment is quiet. Turn off the TV, the washer/dryer, and the ringer on your phone. You can put some sexy music on to set the mood if you like, but be aware that if you plan on selling your video you may encounter copyright issues. To avoid this, you can always find some great royalty free music just by doing a quick search online.
9. Action
If you’re not used to acting, this is definitely not the time to start. It can be hard to “act natural” on camera, so do your best to focus on your partner and what’s happening between you in the moment. Just do what feels good – when you watch your footage later you can think about how you could have better positioned yourself and try to incorporate those notes into your next video.
10. What now?
Congratulations – you’ve made your first porn! Now it’s time to decide whether you want to keep it for yourself or share it with others. Keep in mind that sharing your video doesn’t necessarily mean you have to sell it, however. You can go to sites like AdultFriendFinder.com where people will share their DIY videos and photos with other people they meet. It is a great way to show off your talents without accidentally becoming a pornstar!
