well, apparently in hong kong sex tapes actually are shameful compared to the U.S. where a sex tape can boost your career. (Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian).
Well, this guy Edison Chen in Hong Kong made sex tapes with all the Hong Kong celebrity chicks he's been with and they were leaked. Now, here in the U.S. there is a brief shame period for the female celeb followed by tremendous boost of the girl's sex appeal in the public eye. However in Hong Kong, the shame never dies and some of the women wanted to commit suicide. Even one of the hotter ones about to be engaged was denounced by her fiance because of the sex tape.
Last time I checked the triads in Hong Kong were offering an award for cutting off his hands.
