13	->''"They don't build porn stars anymore. Everyone with a camera can be in porn, and most of them are. There are no $100,000+ features made, and they don't build up porn stars. The day of free porn is here, all over the internet, A production company can't invest into a star anymore or a feature movie anymore."''
14	-->-- '''Jeff Stryker'''
15
16	Not so much a {{UsefulNotes/Porn\|ography}} trope, although it's certainly there.
17
18	Alice and Bob, deciding to spice up their relationship, film themselves having sex. Or take pictures of each other naked.
19
20	In comedies, at some point, [[HilarityEnsues hilarity generally will ensue]]. The tape may unintentionally get broadcast, sent to the wrong person, or seen by people who are shocked.
21
22	In horror and thrillers, the movie may be recorded without consent or it may be the prelude to blackmail or other threats. In drama, the unwanted release of such a tape may be a motive for murder. Often done because the person needs the money, and if not actually the basis for murder, at the very least used for blackmail.
23
24	This is TruthInTelevision, and the most infamous cases are when [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_sex_tape famous people do it]].

31	[[folder:Advertising]]
32	* An Australian commercial for Dare Iced Coffee has a man being told by his girlfriend "We need to talk". His mind immediately flashes through a whole range of worst case scenarios, one of which is learning that the video they made has gone viral on the internet. The girl's comments leave no doubt as to what kind of video it is.
33	* In an Australian [[https://youtu.be/T6cZgThmJpo?si=qqy9Xnc2eLUKca4q Strongbow cider commercial]], a man spies his neighbours about to make their own erotic video, dons a cheesy costume (complete with fake porn star moustache) and knocks on their door, announcing that he is "here to clean the pool". They invite him in.
34	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJMSlLjUpyo A Volkswagen ad]] features a couple driving along when the man suddenly remembers that they just returned "that little...you know...home video" to the video store. The ad then touts the car's [[BrakeAngrily anti-lock brakes]]. TheStinger shows them returning to the video store, where people are watching it; the woman's voice (in the video) is asking, "We're going to erase this later, aren't we?"
35	[[/folder]]

37	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
38	* The ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' episode "Sex and the Daten City" sees Panty at risk of losing her newfound celebrity lifestyle when she screens her "debut film" (a sex tape) at a swanky premiere for another movie she and Stocking are in, which leaks to the public, leading to the Anarchy sisters traveling the world to destroy every last copy of the porn. [[spoiler:They succeed, but Stocking keeps the last copy and uploads it online to get even with Panty for cutting her from their film entirely.]]
39	* [[RuleOfFunny By accident]] the [=ADs=] of Chou-Hayaoki TV end up taping one of the main characters of ''Manga/TheWeathermanIsMyLover'' during the HotSpringsEpisode.

49	[[/folder]]

51	[[folder:Fan Works]]
52	* ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'': There are ([[AfterTheEnd or were]]) machines that allow ponies to record their memories into magical orbs that can later be viewed by a unicorn. Littlepip activates a memory orb and finds herself in a memory where Steelhooves is trying to convince Applejack to have sex while he's wearing the recording device. Applejack is not amused, and Littlepip ''really'' doesn't want to see such a memory. Applejack ends up leaving for a meeting without settling the matter. Later, Steelhooves gives Littlepip another memory orb, and she asks him first if it's a memory of him having sex with Applejack.
53	-->'''Steelhooves:''' You have a dirty mind.
54	* ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'': Features four different sex tapes. The first one involves Snape and Lupin recording Ebony taking a bath without her consent. She later turns the tables on them and records them while they have public sex, threatening to use it as blackmail should they come after her again. Ebony and Draco later let Vampire record them having sex, and Ebony records Satan (Voldemort) and Hedwig having sex, in a bid to get the estranged lovers back together.
55	* ''Fanfic/SavingTheBoy'': PlayedForDrama. [[spoiler:Snow arranges for Peeta to win the Games so he can auction off videos of Katniss and Peeta's sex life together to the highest bidders, starting with Katniss losing her virginity to Peeta in the Capitol. Katniss is forced to agree, because otherwise they'll be sold off separately as prostitutes like Finnick and the other Victors are. The only caveat she has is that Peeta can ''never'' know]].

58	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
59	* In ''Film/BadBoysII'', Marcus and Mike play the tape of a suspect's camera at an electronics shop. After useful info, it cuts to home-recorded sex. And while trying to shut it off, they accidentally make all the [=TVs=] of the store play it. (The following "[[InnocentInnuendo broadcast]]" is even worse/funnier).
60	* In ''Film/BruceAlmighty'', Grace has wrangled Bruce into putting together a scrapbook, and he finds pictures from the vacation they took together, where she "looks kinda perky. Must have been cold.". Cue Grace trying to wrestle them out of Bruce's hand.
61	* Brazilian movie ''Cilada.com'' has the protagonist suffering this twice: first, [[SpeedSex it lasts less than a minute]], and his girlfriend [[InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube puts up online]] to retaliate on a public betrayal. Then in the ending, after he's humiliated in all ways possible but the relationship is put back together, she decides to record another video... [[TheLoinsSleepTonight and another problem happens.]]
62	* In ''An Evening With Creator/KevinSmith'', he talks about borrowing and watching a sex tape made by and starring ''Jason Mewes.'' [[BrainBleach Yes.]] In an interview on Series/{{Attack of the Show}}, Smith actually said that this is his [[AuthorAppeal favorite kind of porn]] ever since he discovered "revenge porn" on the internet.
63	* ''Film/FeastOfLove'': Chloe's sister suggests that she and her boyfriend Oscar could make money by them making these. They decide to, and are shown recording themselves while having sex later, later selling it for a porn video company. It doesn't sell much however, as they act too normally.
64	* This plays a key role in ''Film/{{Flatliners}}'', where the sins of one of the characters is recording these without the women's knowledge or consent.
65	* In the remake of ''Film/FridayThe13th2009'', Bree lures Trent into the bedroom of the cabin they're staying at, strips both of them down, rides on top of him in a perfect cowgirl position, and video tapes him for much of their intercourse... all the way Jason begins his killing spree, and at one point, Jenna (Trent's girlfriend) bangs on the door to warn them, but Trent assumes she and the others are just messing with them.
66	* In ''Film/LoveAndOtherDrugs'', Jamie and Maggie make a sex tape. Later, Jamie catches his brother, Josh watching the tape and masturbating. He is as horrified as one would expect and beats Josh with said sex tape.
67	* In ''Film/{{Machete}}'', [[ParentalIncest April and her mother June]] film these, although it's unclear how far they go. They mistake Machete for [[PizzaBoySpecialDelivery a new gardener and invite him to join them]]. It's unclear how far he goes, but he definitely kidnaps them and puts the video in a place where the evil father, Booth, can find it, to taunt him.
68	* Billy from ''Film/MostLikelyToMurder2018'' has a tape from high school starring himself, his then-girlfriend Elana, and various condiments. Elana's husband, Sheriff Perkins, is haunted by the existence of the tape.
69	* Clark Griswald (in ''Film/NationalLampoonsEuropeanVacation'') tests his new videocamera by taping Mrs. Griswald in the shower. After swearing he's going to erase the tape later, she sings a "naughty" version of "Hey, Big Spender." Later, in Italy, Clark hands the camera to a stranger to videotape the family while standing in the Trevi Fountain and the stranger runs off with it. Something like a day passes and they see a screengrab from the "shower scene" on a billboard for a new "erotic movie". (She is not happy.)
70	* Subverted in the ''Film/ParanormalActivity'' series:
71	** In the [[Film/ParanormalActivity first film]], Micah wants to make a sex tape with Katie, but she won't allow it. She doesn't mind him recording the aftermath.
72	** In ''Film/ParanormalActivity3'', Dennis and Julie try to make one, but are interrupted by tremors from an earthquake. The tape ends up being important, as falling dust from the ceiling reveals the outline of the demon.
73	* This is the basis of ''Film/RoadTrip''; main character has to travel across the United States because he accidentally sent a VHS to his girlfriend which has him having sex with someone else.
74	* In ''Film/RuthlessPeople'', the sex tape is filmed by a pair of blackmailers trying to get someone arrested for murder. Thinking (by the screaming) that it was actually a murder, they take the tape straight to the chief of police. Unfortunately, it was him on the tape, and, accidentally blackmailed, he obeys their commands. Gets really bad when the cleverer of the two blackmailers takes the tape into a video shop to check it.
75	* ''Film/SexTape'' revolves round a ... oh, guess.
76	* In ''Film/ScaryMovie5'', in a scene that parodies the ''Paranormal Activity'' movies, Charlie Sheen's character has a ridiculous number of cameras in his bedroom, with one even strung across the room on a wire like the flying cameras at a football game. He insists to his date that it's for "home security".
77	* In ''Film/WarInc'', Yonica's fiance was planning to make one of their honeymoon and then sell the resulting [=DVDs=]. Yonica was unaware of this and got really upset when she found out.
78	* ''Film/ZackAndMiriMakeAPorno'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. They're ''trying'' to make a professional porn, but are working with a shoestring budget and have [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend quite a bit of unexpected emotional baggage]] to deal with.
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	[[folder:Literature]]
82	* Part of the plot of Ian [=McEwan's=] novel ''Literature/{{Amsterdam}}'' revolves around scandalous photographs of a character crossdressing in the company of someone else's wife, and the potential for blackmail. [[spoiler:When the photographs are revealed by the crossdresser's rival, nobody is very shocked or offended by them, and people are more inclined to praise him for acting out his fantasies.]] However, the character's chances of becoming Prime Minister are still ruined, so the rival succeeds nonetheless.
83	* In ''Literature/StarIsland'', Cherry Pye made s sex tape and had it leaked onto the Internet as a publicity stunt a few years ago. Bang Abbott actually watched it, but found it disappointingly boring even by amateur standards.
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
87	* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Jenna regards this as an important step in her relationship with Paul. This makes sense given that her personality is "Hollywood AttentionWhore to the nth power."
88	* ''Series/TheBill''. An old man storms into the Sun Hill nick to complain about a VCR he bought had a porn tape in it. Turns out that was because the VCR had been stolen with the tape in it. When the woman in the tape later comes to get her VCR back, Hollis recognises her instantly even with her clothes on; she however is not happy at the idea that the tape might be shown in court as evidence.
89	* Done accidentally in an episode of ''Series/{{Bones}}''. Angela and Hodgins are lovers and coworkers at a museum and made a habit of having sex at work (Cleopatra's bed being a favorite place). They didn't realize that security cameras had been installed until Cam (their boss) confronts Angela with one of the videos. While she's initially embarrassed, Angela gets over it quickly and finds the video erotic (though she does promise Cam that they'll stop).
90	* Invoked on just about every other episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine''. Someone will say something that may or may not be an actual double entendre and Jake will respond "Title of your sex tape!"
91	* ''Series/BrothersAndSisters''. Said clip ends up getting shown at a birthday party.
92	* ''Series/CougarTown'': Bobby and Jules have one. Jules is particularly proud of how great she looked at nineteen.
93	* Patrick in ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' has a tape of every single woman he's ever slept with - which it turns out includes all the female characters. They're all kept in a cupboard, which is of course [[TheCasanova stacked floor-to-ceiling]]. Susan is ''infuriated'' when she finds out that not only did Patrick accidentally tape over her, but that neither he nor her current boyfriend Steve were able to realize it wasn't her in the video until she pointed it out.
94	-->'''Steve:''' It's a very similar bottom...\
95	'''Jeff:''' Similar breasts...\
96	'''Susan:''' ''[[MyEyesAreUpHere Look at her face, boys!]]''
97	** Jane, on the other hand, finds the tape of herself with Patrick and helpfully tapes over it with constructive criticism of Patrick's performance.
98	* In an episode of ''Series/DesperateHousewives'', Lynette's kids start to watch a videotape belonging to a neighboring couple, which Lynette frantically stops when she sees what kind of movie it is. The neighbors are embarrassed it got out of their house... because their more recent movies have higher standards of production.
99	* Subverted in an episode of ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'', in which there's a video tape that appears to be a Home Porn Movie made by Drew Carey and his girlfriend. At the end of the episode, the contents of the tape are revealed: while their initial intention was in fact to record a sex act, his girlfriend via the camera [[WeightWoe notices how much weight she'd put on]] since she began dating Drew. What the video ''actually'' contains is [[DownerEnding their break-up]].
100	* On ''Series/{{ER}}'', Doug and Carol make one of these shortly after reconciling. Amazingly, in an aversion of what often happens in this scenario, it does ''not'' end up being viewed by anyone else who shouldn't see it.
101	* ''Series/{{Friends}}:''
102	** Joey and his date walks in on a set that Chandler and Monica had obviously put together for this purpose - she leaves horrified. This was while Joey was the only one who knew of their relationship. He berates Chandler for making it more and more difficult to keep their secret, and storms out in a huff. Then he sticks his head back in the door to deliver his parting shot:
103	--->"But let me just say: The camera? Nice!" two thumbs up
104	** In another episode a tape Ross and Rachel made (by accident: Ross was trying to practice flirting) is discovered. Rachel managed to get pregnant from this exact encounter, and the two are arguing about which of them made the first move. The video contains the seduction, so the friends end up watching its clothed portion to put the matter to rest. As the episode's closing gag, Ross and Rachel watch the non-clothed portion in private... only to turn it off in horror when they see how bad they look during the act.
105	** In "The One with the Prom Video", Monica discovers that the end of said video is a HomePornMovie, featuring [[PrimalScene her parents]].
106	** It seems everybody in ''Friends'' made one. In yet another episode, somebody finds a videotape with Monica's ex Richard and another girl they assume to be Monica (They couldn't see her face clearly). Monica finds out and, on viewing the tape it turns out it wasn't her. To which Monica shouts, "That bastard taped over me!"
107	* A rare funny version from this genre on ''Series/GeneralHospital''. When Emily Quartermaine made a documentary for the annual nurses ball, she left her camera in the conference room, unaware that it was still on. A nurse and her boyfriend sneaked into the room for a quickie. When the documentary was played at the ball. . .
108	* Implied in ''Series/TheGeorgeLopezShow'' when George puts on a tape for Angie's birthday and she worriedly asks if it's "from our [[NoodleIncident trip to the lake]], because the kid's can't see that!"
109	* On ''Series/{{Glee}}'', Puck and Lauren want to make a sex tape to make Lauren famous, but their teacher advises them not to since they're under-age and it would be child pornography. Plus, she can say from experience that it never works out how you intend it to.
110	** Brittany purposely leaks her and Santana's sex tape to prove to Santana that she's not truly willing to do anything for fame. Santana is not impressed.
111	* On ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' Mindy St. Claire secretly recorded Eleanor and Chidi having sex during one of their stays in The Medium Place.
112	* Dave on ''Series/HappyEndings'' hooks up with a women's lacrosse coach who records them having sex then uses it to coach Dave on his technique.
113	* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
114	** Barney has an outright camera fetish. He records nearly all of his sexual encounters, and has cameras running in his apartment twenty-four seven, just in case. At one point, he has a nightmare ImagineSpot about being able to have sex with a group of gorgeous strippers but not being allowed to tape it.
115	** Barney spends one later episode hunting down a homemade sex tape that Marshall and Lily made. It's at first stated to not even exist, although it's eventually revealed that it is, in fact, real.
116	* Dennis on ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' makes home porn videos. Without the women's knowledge. And they all focus on him. Frank also made a tape of himself having sex with the Waitress.
117	* In an episode of ''Series/MadAboutYou'', Paul and Jamie accidentally send their "home movie" back to the video store instead of the actual rental tape. The same thing happened in a 1999 Volkswagen commercial, with people in the video store watching on the in-store monitor.
118	* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' had a BannedEpisode (not shown until over ten years after it was made) where on Marcy's advice Al and Peggy go to a motel to spice up their love life, only to find out the motel recording guests having sex. Realizing they could sue over this gets them in the mood.
119	* ''Series/MelissaAndJoey'': In "Bad Influence", Joe and Ryder sell a video tape labelled "World Series" at a garage sale. It turns out to be a sex tape Mel made with one of her ex-boyfriends.
120	* In ''Series/{{The Office\|US}}'' (USA), Michael invites a few co-workers over for dinner and takes them into the bedroom on the house tour. He apparently neglected to remove the video camera pointed at the bed.
121	* In ''Series/RulesOfEngagement'', Adam and Jennifer tape themselves only to be disgusted by how they look on camera. Adam becomes obsessed and starts watching the tape over and over, trying to analyse flaws with his technique until Jennifer tapes over it with her yoga workout.
122	* Variant in ''Series/SexAndTheCity''- Carrie is friends with a man who makes a long term "art project" of sleeping with models and filming it without their knowledge. When Samantha is hepped to this, and said friend shows interest in her, she assumes he thinks he's a model. When they finally do have sex, she asks where the camera is and even though he explains he only does it for models, he agrees to give Samantha the same treatment.
123	** When untrue rumors get out about Samantha's boyfriend Smith being gay, they make one of these and ''deliberately'' leak it on the internet--to preserve ''her'' reputation rather than his.
124	* On ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' [[spoiler: [[TheSmartGuy Emil]] [[TheQuietOne Hamilton]] and [[TheBaroness Tess]] [[TheAtoner Mercer]]]] of all people make one while KissingUnderTheInfluence. They are not happy when it's found the next day.
125	* ''Series/WithoutATrace''. Martin Fitzgerald half-jokingly suggests to girlfriend Samantha Spade that they make one of these so as to reveal their relationship to their co-workers.
126	* Inverted on ''Series/WorldsDumbest'' during one of the many times John Enos and Loni Love play lovers. In such segment, Loni asks John if he, "Wants to watch our movie", to which he excited says, "Fuck yeah! That camera angle makes my junk look ''huge''!" Loni reveals she meant their ''wedding'' movies. After watching home movies of their wedding (basically just wedding clips with their faces superimposed over the brides and grooms), Loni then asks, "So, ''now'' you wanna watch that ''other'' movie?" John smiles sheepishly, before pulling out a camcorder, saying, "Fuck that... let's ''make'' one instead!" Both Loni and John take off in excitement.

129	[[folder:Music]]
130	* "Get Naked" on [[Music/MotleyCrue Tommy Lee's]] rap album complains about the money being made off his sex tape with Pamela Anderson.
131	* In the video for Music/JustinTimberlake's "Cry Me A River", JT does this, with the aim of getting back at [[TheFaceless a woman]] who is very clearly meant to be his then ex Britney Spears.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Web Animation]]
135	* ''WebAnimation/DragonShortZ'': One of the reasons Lazuli[[note]]Android 18 going back to her real name[[/note]] wants to move out of Kame House is because [[DirtyOldMan Master Roshi]] keeps trying to film her and Krillin having sex, with him succeeding once, as revealed by Lazuli holding up a DVD titled 'Under 18 and Perfectly Legal'. [[spoiler:Given she said that happened last month, and the end of the episode reveals she's a month pregnant with Marron, that means Roshi ''got Marron's conception on camera''.]]
136	--->'''Krillin:''' Aw, I was really good in that one.\
137	'''Lazuli:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll Yes you were.]] Not the point.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Webcomics]]
141	* ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'': The trope shows up more than once in the variant "collection of stills" version:
142	** Zii collects pictures of past sexual conquests on her phone, including pairs of men she's drawn into threesomes. (Which is indeed the kind of behavior that readers have long since come to expect from her in the predecessor comic, ''Webcomic/MenageA3''.) The more ethical Ruby finds these very appealing, but immediately comments on the problem of consent.
143	** Despite that moral code, Ruby can't resist photographing Dillon teaching Ray the art of kissing for acting purposes. She later nervously admits to this, and is pleased when everyone just tells her that she has a good eye for such photography — which is typical of most of the cast, and amusing from Ray himself, who would do anything to get on as an actor.
144	** Likewise, Ramona photographs Dillon when he's explaining the art of oral sex and illustrating with a popsicle.
145	** Dillon too has a collection of snaps of attractive men on his phone, though most of them are probably relatively innocent images of clothed men in public -- but taken more or less surreptitiously.

148	[[folder:Web Original]]
149	* Trying to make money with homemade porn is a [[http://www.cracked.com/article_18392_6-reasons-homemade-porn-worse-idea-than-you-think.html worse idea than you think]], according to Ian Fortey of ''Website/{{Cracked}}''.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:Western Animation]]
153	* The ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' "The Pit" has several parts where it's shown Jake has made a sex-tape for his girlfriend, Rainicorn.
154	* One episode of '' WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' has Billy tell Mandy that Grim "drank your juice, and broke your computer and watched my mom and dad's special DVD".
155	* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' has Hank and Peggy walk into Boomhauer's bedroom to see a video camera pointed at the bed and hooked up to the TV. They [[InnocentInaccurate assume it's for home videos]] and pretend to be news casters on the bed with it.
156	* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', Rocko Heffer and Filbert find a video made by the Bigheads called "Toads In Love".
157	* Not quite ''home'', but on ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2021}}'', when Stormy asked the ASHDTV to show him porno bloopers, it showed him one featuring Debbie and, based on context clues, Hesh. Debbie was more offended that the guys didn't think her breasts were real.
158	* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' -- Bart finds a tape marked "Homer and Marge Get Dirty", and plays it for Lisa hoping to traumatize her. It turns out its just footage of the two carving pumpkins for Halloween and getting covered in pumpkin pulp as a result.
159	[[/folder]]

161	!!Dramatic Examples:
162
163	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
164	* Greg of ''Manga/ACruelGodReigns'' takes several nudes of Jeremy after beating him and before raping him.
165	* ''Manga/GEGoodEnding'' has one of the protagonist's friends involved in one. Not played for laughs as it was filmed without her consent.
166	* A chapter of the ''Manga/LupinIII'' manga has Lupin discovering his [[spoiler:faked]] JekyllAndHyde condition while viewing one of these. This was replaced when the episode received an anime adaptation in [[Recap/LupinIIIS2E16 "Crude Reproduction, Perfect Frame"]].
167	[[/folder]]
168
169	[[folder:Comic Books]]
170	* One issue of ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' involves him and Big Barda being mind-controlled by the ComicBook/{{New God\|s}} Sleeze, who attempts to use this opportunity to have them make such a film. Yes, really. Thankfully, he fails.
171	[[/folder]]
172
173	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
174	* In ''Film/CemeteryGates'', Tony persuades August to make a sex tape with using the video equipment while Hunter and Kym are off scouting locations. It ends tragically and the camera ends up recording them being killed by the giant mutated VolatileTasmanianDevil.
175	* ''Film/TalesFromTheHood2'': In "Date Night", {{Asshole Victim}}s Ty and Kahad drug their intended victims set up their tripod to film their latest conquests, an act which, judging by their casual ritualistic routine, has happened many times before.
176	* Backfires spectacularly in ''Film/{{Trainspotting}}'', to the point where it leads directly to the death of one of the main characters, as the theft of a recording leads to the breakdown of a couple's relationship, causing [[spoiler:Tommy]] to experiment with heroin out of despair, which leads to him dying of AIDS-related diseases.
177	[[/folder]]
178
179	[[folder:Literature]]
180	* ''Literature/TheBigSleep'': The initial blackmail case gets more complicated when Philip Marlowe discovers Arthur Geiger dead in the middle of a lurid photo shoot of Carmen Sternwood, while the negatives have gone missing, meaning something tangible worth blackmailing the wealthy General Sternwood over is floating around the local underworld.
181	* ''Literature/MillenniumSeries'': A ''very'' dark version appears in ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo''. [[spoiler:Lisbeth takes a hidden camera to her guardian's house, knowing that he's going to molest her and planning to use the tape as blackmail. However, instead, he knocks her unconscious, ties her up and brutally rapes her. She of course still has the tape and uses this for blackmail... after knocking him out on the next visit and tattooing "I am a rapist pig" on his stomach.]]
182	* "The Porn Stars" in ''Literature/Haunted2005''. They started out making the movie as a labor of love and to make money. By the time they're finished, they've realized how artificial their relationship has become.
183	* In ''Literature/ReconstructingAmelia'', the Magpies, an unauthorized club of girls at the Grace Hall private school, take nude photos of themselves as part of a group activity and put them up online so people can vote on them. The fact that all of them are underage makes this especially problematic, and Kate, the mother of the title character, is absolutely flabbergasted when she finds out that the mother of at least one of the girls was aware of what was going on and was okay with it.
184	* As early as 1938, the ''Literature/SirHenryMerrivale'' crime novel ''The Judas Window'' has a plot point in which a female character is blackmailed using sexual photos of her taken with her consent by an ex-boyfriend.
185	[[/folder]]
186
187	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
188	* An especially cruel version on ''Series/AllMyChildren'', when Gloria taped her tryst with her lover Craig and threatened to show it to his wife Dixie unless he gave her money. When her boyfriend discovered this, he was so enraged at her infidelity--adding insult to injury, Dixie was his sister--that he raped her and threatened ''her'' with revealing the tape should she dare to press charges (this took place at a time when a rape victim's sexual history could be used to discredit her story).
189	** A savvier version from the same show when Arlene blackmailed her son-in-law Alec into an affair and taped their trysts as an insurance policy, warning him that if he killed her, the police would find the tape and know his motive. Sure enough, he tried, assuming she was bluffing. . .and it was found.
190	* In ''Series/{{Bones}}'', Brennan and Booth are the death of a highschool boy on a private school campus, who was the son of the Venezuelan ambassador. They discover a sextape with showing him and another student, and they confront her with it. Horrified, she claims that it was filmed by the victim using a hidden camera, and that she had no knowledge of its existence. However, upon further inspection they realize that, within the film, she looked directly at the camera. Turns out she actually seduced him (and filmed it with another student helping) with the intention of blackmailing him and his father. However, the boy was going to turn them in to the headmaster, so they murdered him.
191	* ''Series/CriminalMinds''.
192	** When a woman finds in her husband's cell phone nude pictures of their daughter, he explains that this is some sexting done by the daughter (presumably to her boyfriend) and that she sent those to her father in law by mistake. [[spoiler:He's lying by the way.]]
193	** One episode has a serial killer targeting men. One of the victims made a habit of secretly recording his sexual conquests and circulating the videos among his friends. One friend smugly tells the team that a loophole in the law means that a visual-only video does not require the woman's consent, so since he didn't record the sound, they can't do anything. His tune changes ''fast'' when Kate points out that one of the women being a few months shy of her eighteenth birthday would make the whole group guilty of possession of child pornography.[[note]]While she was just messing with him and all the victims they identified were adults, the fact that he had no way of knowing that highlights the need for consent.[[/note]] It's unclear whether the unsub knew about this habit specifically, but she was killing men who failed to live up to her romantic ideal, so it's very possible that finding the camera set her off.
194	* In a third-season episode of ''Series/{{Defiance}}'', [[CameraFiend Berlin]] has sex with Tommy while recording the whole thing on a camera (the same camera she uses for her propaganda videos). Tommy is a bit worried, but Berlin points out that there's no risk, since the Internet hasn't been around in decades. When Tommy claims that Berlin's boss (the town mayor) could see it, she brushes him off, explaining that Pottinger only cares out his own looks, not Berlin's naked ass (she is glad that Tommy cares about the latter, though).

This obviously comes back to bite them both when he discovers the tape, and uses it to [[spoiler:convince Peter that Andreas has crossed them both and become a liability]].
197	* ''Series/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer2021'': It turns out Lennon made many home porn videos featuring her having sex with different guys (and Margot once as well) which she uploaded onto her Only Fans account, making money from this.
198	* ''Series/{{Kings}}'' had a story where the princess is blackmailed with the photographic variety.
199	* Several episodes of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' revolve around this trope, including one in which a man drugs women and records himself raping them and another where a woman's secret recording of herself with a man is used to rebut her claim of rape.
200	* Sort of happens in ''Series/{{Lost}}'', when Jack catches Sawyer and Kate cuddling post-coitus on a security camera. If he'd been through a few minutes sooner, he would have gotten a real eyeful...

204	* ''Series/TheMurders'': {{Played for drama}} when Kate gets sent a recording of her having sex with Pete (audio only), and initially thinks he made this, angrily ending their relationship because he didn't ask permission for that. However, it turns out he didn't do it, and she becomes anxious that she's the victim of a stalker. [[spoiler:It turns out to be even worse, as it's a ''serial killer'' who recorded them.]]
205	* Julie was blackmailed with one of these on ''Series/TheOC''.
206	* ''Series/PamAndTommy'' is a {{biopic}} miniseries about the 1997 scandal that saw the sex tape of Creator/PamelaAnderson and [[Music/MotleyCrue Tommy Lee]] being leaked on the Internet.
207	* ''Series/{{Slasher}}'': Sarah discovers a home-filmed porn movie in the basement featuring her dead mother and a man from the neighborhood whose jealous wife killed him over the affair. It later turns out that her parents were part of a major underground porn operation in the town and were using the tapes to extort various people. [[spoiler:This included the original Executioner, who is Sarah's real father.]]
208	* ''Series/{{Soap}}'' being an AffectionateParody of {{Soap Opera}}s, naturally featured one of these.
209	* ''Series/VeronicaMars'' has a few of these.
210	** The Climax of Season 1 involves the discovery that the murder victim discovered that she was taped non-consensually by her partner, and when she threatened to go to the press caused him to murder her.
211	** In Season 3, Veronica finds a hidden camera sex tape filmed without her or her boyfriends knowledge in his dorm room. It is then leaked to the internet.

216	* In ''VisualNovel/ShiningSongStarnova'', a sex tape starring Haruka, the second most popular member of the [[IdolSinger idol group]] Quasar, gets leaked online during Aki’s route. The resulting scandal damages Quasar’s reputation and leads to Haruka getting fired.
