Women speak on threesome photo scandal
Women groups spoke out yesterday about the controversy aroused by author Su Yu-chen (蘇玉珍) publicizing nude photos of herself, her lover and his wife, saying that they could understand Su’s behavior but it was something they would not encourage other women to repeat.
Su showed the photos and DVDs at a press conference she called on Monday in response to photographer Lai Yao-tsun’s (賴燿村) claims on March 3 that he was actually the author of Su’s book Death of a Writer and that she was a fake who couldn’t write a word.
I would never circulate nude photos that I have taken unless the persons in them gave the OK. And even then, I’d have to be comfortable that they were stable enough to accept what might occur, ie, calls from mom or something after having had someone send them a link, for example.

Somebody enlighten me – how does showing nude photos of herself, her lover, and his wife bolster Su’s claim that she can write? And were the three people naked together in the same photo? If so, what’s the wife’s story?
Well, it sure doesn’t bolster her claim, but it does draw attention to her claim. I mean, who would listen to her were it not for the nude photos? Kinda like claiming “I’m the one who actually wrote all of A-mei’s songs and by the way here are some S&M photos of me.”
Su Yu-chen’s photos were traditional print photos, right? They weren’t on the web, right? Could she be sued for publicizing them, or is it okay since they include her and were in her posession?
On a related note, I’m amazed at how many “amateur” nude photos are showing up on the web. Taiwan image boards are filled with nude photos taken with digital cameras, though a lot of times faces are blurred or cut off. Or so I’m told. And lots are taken in front of famous Taiwan landmarks or billboards. I’ve seen a few of those. Usually overexposed. Harhar.
Anway, what’s up with that? Is it jilted ex-lovers / vengeance? Is it jointly done for fun? Is it done to get a little fame? If permission wasn’t given, could they sue? Would they want to?
In former days, someone who wanted to use nudity to gain fame (like Vivian Hsu, Hsu Chi, et al) released a photo book. Maybe the Internet is more the way to go these days. Then there’s video a la Chu Mei-Fong. Last year a guy at at NTHU in Hsinchu posted an MPEG of he and his ex-girlfriend getting it on. Real jerky, kinda like a porno Blair Witch Project. He took it down a day later, but no matter, it had been downloaded several dozen times, and is probably still floating around out there (probably for a fee at some 13 year old’s commercial site). It seems like every day the news has some report on this sort of thing - like they have reporters trawling the internet for porn.
I guess the moral of the story is not to commit anything to film, esp. digital, you might not want the whole world to see - unless it helps get your ludicrous claims into the limelight for a day or two, or shows off your rippling abs.
"Saying that she has “had enough,” Su told reporters that Lai had invited her to sign a “contract” two years ago to agree to live with him and his wife Liu Cheng-ching (劉正清) as a threesome.
She said they had been lovers before that.
She said the three of them had sex and occasionally took nude pictures of each other. She said Lai also had sex with other women and was photographed doing so by either her or his wife."
Wow, this guy, Lai, sounds like he must be quite a smooth operator. I have no idea how this guy got women to have sex with him while his wife or mistress took photographs. I can just imagine the reaction many guys would get from their wives or girlfriends if they made such a request.
Actually, I’m not sure if Lai is one hell of a lucky guy or not. However, I would still love to know how he got his wife to agree to all of this.
I disagree. I fully encourage women to emulate Su. I would give her guanxi if I could. She’s exactly what Taiwan needs – more artsy women who engage in threesomes and publish naked photos. Fewer 30 yr-old virgins who live with their parents.
“In her press conference, Su did not address Lai’s claims that he had ghostwritten the book.”
Well didn’t somebody ASK her!? Jimminy Christmas! How can a room filled with so-called reporters manage to entirely miss the point of the press conference. No one thought to ask the most obvious question?
I feel the exact same thing. If you ever end up figuring it out, don’t hesitate to share the wisdom, LMAO
I mean with strangers this would be pretty much easy. Or an affair with a woman living in the same house you and your wife resides is possible. But to be frank i’m really intrigued on how he managed to do it. I mean who wouldn’t want to be in this man’s shoes for a day or two. Anyone? Come on, don’t let me be the only one raising his hands in a room full of people, hehe!!
There is a not so large selection of couples and larger groups available mainly in Taipei but also across the island that “swing.” That swinging comes in many different facets.Partner swapping, two women one guy, two guys one woman are not uncommon, even if most participants are not open about, it does go on. Larger groups are also catered for.
