On Friday, 24 Oct 200, The West Australian Newspaper was quoted as saying:


> The West Australian understands that about a week after the private
> party, the girls involved edited the video and tried to sell it to a
> group of Hale School boys for $90. It is understood that the boys did
> not pay the money but watched the video.

That seems to be the heart of it -- the combination of extreme aggression and extreme shyness that seems suited to both exhibitionism and adolescence. Has anyone ever read the 1971 book _How To Survive In Your Native Land_ by James Herndon? He describes an amusing incident among kids in the high school (obviously younger than these college students) where he was teaching where a fad devleoped for taking pictures of their private parts and in the automat and asking the opposite sex to guess. Somehow this just seems like a souped up version of that. Explicit sex but not with boys, just with your best friends, as if that was a safe tryout. The selling part seems like a ruse. And without a sale, it's less porn than an experiment with a new way to meet boys. Thus the race progresses.
