Yes. Research shows that Porn is associated with higher sexual satisfaction and openness among partnered women. Another study proves there is a positive correlation between sharing porn and the quality of your relationship.

Before we begin

Let’s first check in on a few things you want to nail down before you get busy. The number one concern is that you’re doing this with someone you know and trust. You’ll be more comfortable on camera and afterwards this way. Also, communicate! As with any sex act, consent is key. Make sure you’re on the same page before hitting record.

Let’s break down the benefits!

It’s an aphrodisiac

Create intimacy between you and your partner by turning on the camera and filming your escapades. What’s hotter than seeing the love between you two on film? There’s also something so sexy about knowing you’re being recorded and that your partner is going to enjoy watching it later.

It’s real

You don’t have a porn star’s body and that fine. In fact, that’s fantastic! That makes the video even more real. Your body is beautiful, and the video will show how you move and enjoy sex with your partner in a way that is not over-acted and fake.

It’s perfect for masturbation

If your partner doesn’t live in the same city or is just away on a trip, this video will be perfect for you both. Watch it while using your favorite vibrator and you’ll be right back in the moment.

It increases confidence

Watching you relinquish yourself to pleasure and ecstasy will give you the confidence you didn’t know you had. It will be a way that you’ve never seen yourself before and will give you a glimpse into what your partner sees, which leads us into the last reason.

It catches unmissable moments

When you watch your work of art, you’ll catch things you miss during sex, like expressions on your face or your partner’s. Or maybe you’ll see an intricate move that you both make that makes you think, “wow, we’re professionals!” Whether you’re paying attention to minute details or the big picture, it will give you a different look at how you play in the bedroom.
