Hypothetical question.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

So, let me ask you guys a question about a dilemma.

Imagine that you're about to look at some internet porn, rub a quick one out and go about your business for the day. You start browsing a particular category (nothing crazy, just a specific thing) and you see a video that looks promising. You click it and suddenly you realize that the girl looks a lot like your old high school crush that everybody including her knew you had a crush on. It's an amateur video so it's plausible. You stop thinking about that wank entirely and watch the video in certain parts over and over to find out if it actually is. You try and listen to the voice when she's talking, try to figure out the eye color, and no, it couldn't be it's just a doppelganger.... and then she smiles and it's all holy shit it totally is her.

Now with this 99.9999999985% certainty that it's her, what do you do? Do you tell her that her porn vid is online? I mean, you were that awkward guy in the friend zone that pined after her for what seemed like ages and now you know what her vulva and titties looks like, and if you tell her, then she knows that you know what her vulva and titties looks like. But she is still your friend, if in a mostly lost touch with but can communicate anytime easily sort of way.

Ladies, what would you like your friend to do in this situation?

Maybe allude to the fact that you heard a sex video of her is on the internet, so you decided to warn her as a friend.  That would possibly be the most delicate, if moderately honest way of going about it.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Forget you ever saw it.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

That can be kinda tricky though too, since it's like, "heard through the grapevine that you have a sex vid online. Not sure how many people have seen it, and I can't tell you who I heard it from. By the way, thanks for writing happy birthday on my wall back in August. It was very nice of you."

We have a mutual friend that I would trust to pass the info along for me, and that she would be comfortable hearing the info from.

Problem is that he's gay and wouldn't be looking at porn that had women in it.

That is the option that gets me in the least amount of awkwardness.

Fuck that.  Either she already knows, in which case there's no need to say it, or she doesn't know and there's NOTHING SHE CAN DO ABOUT IT EITHER WAY...So why shorten the time in which she can enjoy her life without that hideous bit of knowledge?

And if her name isn't listed anywhere, it won't come back to haunt her unless, well, you tell her.

[Phox]

I'm not the person to ask. If a porn vid of me ever surfaces, it's 99.99999% likely that I am responsible for it making it to the internet in the first place. 

Aside from that, I think Roger has the right of it.

[Jasper]

Roger has a point.  Unless there's a way to put a name to the face, it's could be better to let sleeping dogs lie.

Unless she could lodge a takedown or lawsuit notice with the website and avoid some creep from blackmailing her with it.  I'm sure a porn site gets complaints all the time, and since porn is easy to come by, why risk a lawsuit over one video?  Help her avoid blackmail, I say.  It's awkward and difficult and embarrassing, but it's what a true friend would do.

[Luna]

Erp.

If it were me, I'd want to know, not sure if I'd want to know who saw (and posibly wanked to) it.

An e-mail from an anon Google address, saying, "I saw this, I know you, I didn't want to make it weird by telling you, but I thought you should know the video is (link).  If you don't want to know who this is, I'll delete this account in a month and forget I ever saw it.  If you want to know who this is, ask, and I will tell you."

Gives her the option of knowing who you are and not worrying about it, or NOT knowing, and not weirding things up.

However, Roger may very well have the right of it, and she may either already know, or knowing would cause her grief.  It's out there, and there's nothing she can do.

Any civil/legal action would be a matter of public record and would thus be easily searchable.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Yeah, it definitely wasn't her that uploaded it. I checked the uploader profile and it's some 54 year old dude. Pretty sure she never got it on with a 54 year old dude, so...

Also, I guess this goes to show that you should never, ever make a sex tape unless you want that shit to be seen, possibly by people who know you.

Looks like forget it happened is the way to go about it.

Ack. Yeah there's that bit of it too.

I dunno, it's probably best to just forget about it, but I don't know.

Also, didn't wank to it. At first I was shocked and also, it would be really weird and creepy.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Probably can't even have the odd fantasy about her anymore either.

Didn't mean to imply you had, you said you didn't.  However, risk is that, regardless of what you say, she'll think you did.

Yeah that's true. Especially if it's from a guy she knows was nuts about her.
