Food for Thought. Review on Prostitution vs. Pornography

*Could'nt find appropriate cat for this one, so I m posting it here..

I don't want to sound preachy, but as more and more incidents like these are becoming common, it seems the good old way of enjoying the intimacy (physical) is the best way. There is a tendency among young people to preserve moments of privacy on some kind of media. Some of my friends said that the do record but store the recording under encryption like rar files etc. But then I can't understand, what is the need of recording such intimate moments in the first place? Is it not sufficient if they remain in our memories fondly to be cherished?

My intention is not to sound paranoiac but why should anyone take a chance in such matters. Taking photographs or video intended to be strictly private is ok, but they can very well fall in wrong hands and then you don't know where they will be - on the net, in the store

Here is a lesson to learn from, for every couple married or otherwise:

KOLKATA: He was 19 then, she 17. Both decided to go to Darjeeling and get intimate. This was in 2004.

The boy was then an undergraduate and the girl still in school. They had a handycam and perhaps in a moment of madness decided to film their act.

The boy first stripped and the girl filmed him; then the girl stripped and the boy filmed him. Then they fixed the handycam high up in the room and filmed their one hour or so of lovemaking.

Back in the city, the boy took the cassette to a shop to get it transferred to a CD. It was supposed to be private; a boy and a girl's passionate secret. Only, they had no idea what lay in store.

Two years passed peacefully, and then all hell broke lose. Last year, a friend told the girl that she had seen her act in a late-night pornographic film, beamed by the local cable operator.

She didn't believe it; she couldn't. But then she also saw it. She told the boy about it.

A few months back, the boy went to Mumbai for a job interview. He was having a bite in a restaurant when the waiter walked up to him and said he had watched and enjoyed the pornographic film he had acted in.

They still kept quiet. But the catcalls and insinuations increased. DC (south) N R Babu said, "Young people should realise the consequence of such acts. Their lives have been ruined. Both are now staying as paying guests and are in fear."

What happened in 2004 was this: after the boy took the cassette to Photoworld at Jatin Das Park, in Kolkata, an employee quietly made a second CD. The CD changed hands and finally became a porn film. Enough to trigger a scandal in Kalighat, where the boy and the girl lived.

Police got a whiff of this a few months back. "We inquired about it. It had become a menace, " Babu said. The police tracked down the couple and recorded their statements.

The police then swung into action and arrested the employee, Raju Mondal, on Tuesday night. "At first, he didn't confess but later admitted he kept a copy and sold it at a premium." Five CDs were seized from him.

A city court later granted bail to Mondal. "There are a few others involved in this."

Polls conducted recently have shown a tendency among youth to record their intimate scenes for the 'fun' part. This is not a healthy sign for there is every possibility for the source to be leaked out in public, ending in fatel results. Again , I would like to advice you not to go for it, it can ruin your life..
