So you've snapped a topless picture or maybe made a short sex video and it seems totally fine because it's for your perfectly sweet boyfriend and he'd never publicize it any way. That would never happen to you. Right?
Yeah, that mentality is never okay, because a sex video is a sex video and once you break up, you never know what the other person would do. You also don’t need the other party for your sex video to get out to the world, as exhibited by the massive leak earlier this year for tons of female celebrities. From people who gained notoriety from their leaked sex videos like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton to people like Chelsea Handler who put hers out on purpose, there are countless of celebrities that have made sex videos that have accidentally (or purposely) been sent out to the world via a wonderful thing called the Internet. While many of them are revealed, for whatever reason people continue to make them and with hacking being a major problem as of late, we can probably expect that the trend will never end ... you know, unless celebrities stop filming themselves, which is a pretty easy fix if you ask us. Some are leaked and some are released, but these 14 celebs all have one thing in common: sex videos.
1. Kim Kardashian
Yes, starting with the obvious. In 2007 Kim's sex video with Ray J went public, making the vapid reality star who she is today: Relevant, despite not having any discernible talents whatsoever. (She should probably be thanking the tape right about now.) Instead of kapitalizing on her notoriety immediately, she first sued for the rights to the tape and settled for $5M and embraced the fact that the whole world has seen her naked ... time and time again.

2. Paris Hilton
Oh Rick Salomon. One Night In Paris went viral in 2004, and every teenager at the time took to the internet to watch what would become their first celebrity sex video.

3. Chelsea Handler
Handler never does anything without reason. Just like a few weeks ago when the star posed topless on a horse on Instagram, Chelsea's 15-second sex scandal was part of her acting reel. Her statement was simple: "I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club, because I'm a comedian, and I've been showing it at birthday parties for f**king years!"

4. Rob Lowe
In 1988 a sex video leaked of Rob Lowe and two women. One was 16 (whoops). Doesn't matter though because he's still perfect.

5. Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee / Bret Michaels
While not surprising, Pam and Tommy Lee filmed their sex vid on their honeymoon in 1995. The tape was stolen from their home and became very public. It wasn't the first time, either: Anderson and Bret Michaels of Poison previously had a sex video leak before she got together with Lee.

6. Fred Durst
In 2005 the Limp Biskit frontman starred in his own dirty video. The woman was unknown, kind of like Fred is now.

7. John Edwards
At least Bill Clinton didn't film his affairs. In 2010, John Edwards' hopeful presidential career ended after a video of his affair with Rielle Hunter was released, she was super prego with his baby and he was married. Sorry John, political suicide.

8. Tila Tequila
The MTV star had a sex tape, and literally, no one cared. Now she's a mom. Great.

9. Tom Sizemore
Tom Sizemore sold his own sex video on DVD, which then leaked to the internet, thus proving his IQ can't be skyrocketing.

10. Farrah Abraham
Teen mom and proud sex video maker. In 2013 Abraham's video with porn star James Deen. Although she originally said it was "leaked" rumors were flying that she signed at six-figure deal with Vivid Entertainment to release the tape. Now her Wikipedia reads: "Reality show personality, author, musician, pornographic actress, and stripper." Congrats, girl.

11. Dustin Diamond
He released his own sex tape, probably hoping to make headlines again, but about five minutes later, no one cared. Sorry Screech. You know it's sad when being the biggest douchebag on Celebrity Fit Club makes you more relevant than your sex video does.

12. Kate Moss
No, this time she wasn't snorting cocaine, but there are supposedly sex videos that Kate Moss' ex Pete Doherty was trying to shop around in 2007. Moss sued and we have yet to see anything, so case closed ... until the next iCloud hack.

13. Eric Dane
McSteamy and his wife Rebecca Gayheart filmed themselves naked with a third member, a pageant girl named Kari-Ann Paniche. They quickly made a statement about it and everyone quickly forgot all about it. That's how McSteamy takes care of business.

14. Colin Farrell
In 2006, a 14-minute video of the actor and his ex, Playboy model Nicole Narain, hit the internet. He sued and now only bits and pieces exist.
