Hit delete button after taping your sexcapades

Shoushou was wrong. She made a mistake.

She should have pressed the camera's delete button after sex - that was the only thing she did wrong.

The most degrading thing about the whole madness is Shoushou's evil ex, for the lowlife lover has single-handedly ruined a woman's faith in the entire male species, as Shoushou declared she will never trust a man as she did before.

Of course, he committed other crimes, including humiliating the car model, staining her reputation and tarnishing a potentially bright future.

But of all things damaged, trust is the hardest to rebuild - especially in a society like ours. I think all the losers who spread private sexual content in public in the name of vengeance should be locked in a jail - with the key thrown away.

Hit delete button after taping your sexcapades

A very valuable life lesson all women (and men) should learn from this randy story is that you should always, always remember to erase all the evidence after sex.

This is not to say that every couple has the urge to film themselves when they get down to it.

I suspect a good number of women would, and have succumbed to the desperate plea of their horny partners - "Oh please baby please, just one picture, you don't know how hot you look in those French knickers. You are just so sexy! Oh I promise no one, baby, no one is going to see them! I'll even delete everything later if you want!"

Yes, you might have surrendered under irresistible ecstasy to permitting a photo or two of the steamy moment, or perhaps even a full-on 30 minutes or more video.

But remember those images should not be kept on the pile afterward, because, more often than not, the owner of good things cannot keep what they have to themselves - they eventually become relaxed and want to show off, or turn bitter and plan revenge, as in Shoushou's case.

Women are sometimes too easy to persuade and manipulate. And unsurprisingly, sometimes, the offending material is saved and stored. And in due course the damage comes about stabbing them in the back.

And even if Shoushou's former other half is an honorable citizen, his laptops are bound to fail at some point. The owner will need to find a repair shop where crafty men mend hard drives while they go through private folders as if their lives depend on it.

In fact, I bet more than a few women were wondering what happened to their own old sex photos, videos - or both - when they fixed their eyes on Shoushou's, and hoped that their exes won't turn out to be as disgusting as hers.

They can only hope. But one thing they can do, however, as I will now repeat, is to always erase the materials. Delete or destroy.

If you really like the content that much, there's always the opportunity to do it all over again next time.
