Alvin Tan & Vivian Lee: Let's talk about sex!
BY LENNARD GUI & REGINA LEE
Where do you go after you've posted naked pictures and sex videos of you and your lover on the Internet? Let's ask Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Pamela Anderson—and for that matter, Colin Farrell, Kanye West, Tommy Lee, Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and perhaps some politicians, too.
Truth is, bedroom photos and sex romp tapes are great for jacking up a celebrity's profile, and many a star have had their career explode on the back of a sex scandal. Now, Malaysian sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee are finding out just what a wide rollercoaster ride that kind of infamy can be.
Public opinion has been split on their actions, from people tearing them apart and putting them down with every vile name in the book to supporters who champion their right to freedom of expression and commending them for standing up for what they believe in.
Not that either of them could care less what people think.
In an exclusive interview with Joanne Kam and Xandria Ooi for Capital FM yesterday—a separate conversation was recorded for Red FM, another Star Media Group-owned radio station—both Alvin, 24, and Vivian, 23, looked to be thoroughly enjoying the attention and made no apologies for being who they are.
"Doing things like bungee jumping or skydiving is pretty standard stuff. I want to hang out with people who have done things which are unprecedented," said Alvin.
Vivian certainly fits the bill. Before he met her, Alvin says his ex-girlfriends were pretty vanilla in their sexual proclivities and weren't too keen to experiment with him. "Most were cowards," he said. "OK, I take that back—they were unadventurous."
In fact, it was Vivian's idea initially to take some photos of them in the nude and tape them shagging. But it was a mutual agreement between the two young adults to post their explicit pictures and videos on the Internet and share the lot with, well, the whole wide world.
After making contact on Facebook, Alvin revealed, "We started taking the photos the second time we met. We were fooling around in a hotel in Penang on holiday, and she was totally naked and she asked if I wanted to take her picture. I was totally game for it."
At first, their photos appeared on their Facebook profiles. But when other users flagged their pictures as inappropriate, they took their work to a blog they created called Sumptuous Erotica. Even then, the hits were low—until they posted the link in a social forum.
And the rest is history.

but more of a precise word will be "idiotic" - you wouldn't care less how people think of you, OK. you wouldn't care less how people who are close to you are affected, SELFISH.
typical of a chinese saying - "rather give birth to a "cha siew", at least I can eat it than having kids like you who openly disgrace your own family the way you did"
This stupid girl has ruined her future as no employer other than porn industry will likely hire her as she will be a distraction to other men employees and leading to lust. I think their parents did not bring them up proper. That said feel very sorry for parents whom must be heartbroken
as the girl i m not sure if she got into wrong company but again the shame she brings to her family. will any man want to marry her and let her be a mother .. i think you all know but she will find out for herself.
but both of them seems out of norm. although they want to be porn stars but at least keep it down. nothing to be proud off... the society will forget both of you very soon... but your wrongdoings will hurt those who love you forever....
let the law handle the case and punish
them accordingly.
but i highly doubt that alvin and vivian love each other so much till they can't be broken apart.
if they do, let all men in the world don't take vivian as ur wife, and let all women in the world don't fall for this alvin, he's not man enough for u!
U people are trying to generate the new 'people' after this in our society.. common man try harder.. something that ur parents can watch and tell a 1000 people... not coming up with something that some perverts spend time wanking..
Sorry for my language.. i may be wrong.. but i guess my language is way better than what u people set out to act..
Like my name suggest, get a room.. do it within four walls.. and ur pleasure in discreet... Save ur energy and innovative mindset for something more than this.. Man.. get ur brains rebooted.. u need and overhaul! Peace out!
You were given the gift of brains? But pity you choose to use the other. Someday soon it will come to past your current actions and judgment will fall upon you two. Punishment will not be by law but base on what you have personally done!
Vivian you may find a man to love you and may marry you, but trust me he will never be true to you fully. Or you may grow old lonely living with regret! I pity the path you have choosen to walk for which there is no real return.
Alvin, your wiser and your actually a criminal in many minds. While they say it takes two hands to clap but it takes a leader to start that motion. You distroyed and poison the mind of Vivian and your are doing the same for the rest of the newer generation! You should be punish and i have a strong feeling someday soon God will do what i...
They have freely abandoned their angelic natures and their true humanity, trying to lead others into the abyss with them.
God most merciful, please protect your innocent young ones from these wolves.
