So, here’s a story I never thought I’d share. A while back, I had a one-night stand with a guy I met through mutual friends. We hit it off, and when things moved to the bedroom, I was pleasantly surprised. He was confident, attentive, and definitely knew what he was doing. He let me finish (multiple times), knew how to take charge, and kept the energy alive throughout the night. It wasn’t earth-shattering, but it was definitely good sex—intense, satisfying, and left me wanting more.

We ended up going at it three times that night, which is rare for me with someone new. I felt amazing the next morning—content and just a little sore in the best way possible. That’s when I noticed something strange on my smartwatch. I wear it to track my sleep, and out of habit, I checked the app. That’s when I realized it had recorded everything. Every sound, every gasp, every laugh.

At first, I was mortified. But curiosity got the better of me, and I hit play. Listening back, I felt a mix of emotions—embarrassment, excitement, and something I didn’t expect: arousal. It was sexy hearing the rawness of it all, the sounds of us together, the moments I hadn’t fully appreciated in the heat of it. It was like reliving the night from a new angle, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

The next time we saw each other, I told him about it. I wasn’t sure how he’d react, but to my surprise, he thought it was just as sexy as I did. We even ended up laughing about it, which naturally led to the idea of intentionally recording ourselves the next time.

So, the next time we hooked up, we did just that. We made a tape together, and watching it back was honestly one of the sexiest things I’ve ever done. Seeing myself like that, seeing us like that, made me realize how thrilling and intimate it could be. It’s not something I ever thought I’d enjoy so much, but now I find myself going back to watch it from time to time—and loving it every single time.

It’s wild how one accidental recording completely changed how I see intimacy and made me curious to explore this side of myself even more.
