News: Jimi Hendrix Rocks New Sex Tape


Vivid Entertainment has announced the release of its latest celebrity sex tape, and it’s from an unlikely source—’60s rock god Jimi Hendrix. Shot in a hotel room circa 1968, Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape purports to show the legendary musician, who died in 1970, in an erotic encounter with two women. “This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star,” says Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. “He could clearly play more than just his guitar. It’s easy to see that he turned women on with his music and his passion.”

The 8mm home-movie footage was acquired by Vivid, which has also released sex tapes featuring Tommy Lee, Pamela Anderson and Kim Kardashian, through a broker from a collector who bought the reel at a London auction. The company consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage, including I’m With the Band author Pamela Des Barres and Cynthia Plaster Caster, who is renowned for creating plaster molds of rock star dicks, including Hendrix’s. Both women contributed commentary to the new DVD. “No doubt about it,” Cynthia says. “That’s Jimi Hendrix’s dick, and I should know.” Des Barres adds, “Hendrix liked to be filmed having sex. He’s the ultimate adult-film movie star. I understand why everyone wanted to sleep with the guy.”

However, the Hendrix estate is claiming that the sex tape is a fake. In a statement, the estate defends the Purple Haze singer, saying, “We view the release as nothing more than a callous attempt to trade on the image and reputation of a deceased artist who is unable to defend himself against such an outrageous and baseless assertion.”
