Kim Kardashian West is 39 years old today which seems impossible. Where did time go? Wasn't it just yesterday that she was Paris Hilton's "intern" and a socialite that the world barely knew? We remember a pre-Kardashian world when we didn't know every single one of their names and all of it can be traced down to one infamous moment: The Kim Kardashian Sex Tape. Celebrate Kim's birthday by remembering this monumental tape!

While Paris also had a famous sex tape years prior (who could forget 1 Night in Paris?), few sex tapes changed culture the way that Kim's did. Seriously, think about the ways that the Kardashians have influenced western society. Whether you love them or love to hate them, you can't deny their widespread influence. Beauty standards like big booties and big lips - as well as being famous for being famous - all came about because of Kim's hourglass shape and her sister's. Kim and her sisters are social media mavens who influenced the way that Instagram influencers...well...influence. The Kardashians are everywhere and have been for over a decade and it's all thanks to the first time we saw Kim's flawless figure in her 2007 sex tape with her ex-boyfriend Ray J.

The tape was shot on a camcorder in 2002 when Kim and Ray were celebrating Kim's 23rd birthday at a luxury resort in Mexico. It looks like they really made the best of it. On top of showing off her absolutely jaw-dropping ass, she gave him a POV blow-job that we could never forget. When I close my eyes and think of her sex tape, I always see Kim with a dick in her mouth as she looks into the camera. It's so hot.

After the sex tape leaked, the reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians came about. The tape leaked in February 2007 and the show debuted in October of that same year. Some speculate that Kim's mother Kris Jenner released the tape on purpose to get her family into reality TV while others maintain Kris used her shrewd business acumen to clear Kim's name by making her reality TV famous. It is known that Kris was already in development talks for a reality show in 2006 and that Kim originally tried to sue for ownership of the tape until she dropped the case. So which came first? Was Kris behind the release or was it all a convenient accident? Either way, the reality show worked and helped to overshadow Kim's scandal. Kim is now one of the most famous women in the world! This simple sex tape gave careers to her and her sisters. Seriously, it's all thanks to Kim playing with her breasts for the camera.

Thank you, Kim, for this tape that we'll never forget. Happy 39th birthday and we hope to see more of Kim's sexy body as she approaches her 40th year!
