Kim Kardashian’s Sex Tape Changed the World

If you haven't heard the news, then let me tell you: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West might be getting a divorce. That means that Kim Kardashian will be single again. Some might say this news is trivial and that all Kardashian news is pointless, but I disagree. I could write an entire thesis on how important the Kim Kardashian sex tape has been for culture, but we don't have all that time. So I'll sum up my thoughts here. Basically, the Kim Kardashian sex tape changed the world and I will tell you how.

She became one of the most famous women in the world and for a good reason. Whether you love her or you love pretending you hate her, Kim is a total knockout and she has been since day one. We first saw her famous ass in the sex tape with her ex-boyfriend Ray J. The tape celebrated Kim's 23rd birthday by flashing her breasts and giving a blowjob in a POV shot.

It is worth noting that the Paris Hilton sex tape came first. 1 Night in Paris was probably the first major celebrity sex tape of the early 2000s that was used to make lemonade out of lemons. Instead of facing scrutiny, Paris took her fame and established the 2003 reality show The Simple Life which had everyone agreeing 'that's hot'. So Paris made the roadmap and the Kardashians essentially followed it. Here is where they diverge, however. Paris (and her sidekick Nicole Richie) was famous and influenced culture, but Kim Kardashian introduced the world to her entire family, and ALL of them became super influential.

People have modeled their makeup after the Kardashians from Kim's contour to Kylie Jenner's lips. And the asses? They contributed to making people ass crazy. They have dated and married major celebrities, dipping their fingers into every single aspect of culture.

Not only did they influence the beauty industry and the very nature of celebrity, but their show was a hit from 2007 to 2020. That is a long-running show. The impact that the Kardashians have had on culture is undeniable, but if you need to see more research then please turn to our friends at Mr. Skin who have several hot clips from that sex tape.
