Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape" will premiere today online at www.hendrixsextape.com, with a DVD edition scheduled to hit stores across the country on May 6. Shot in a hotel room circa 1968, the film shows Hendrix in "an erotic liaison with two slender brunettes." "This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star. He could clearly play more than just his guitar," said Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. "It's easy to see that he turned women on with his music and his passion." Rumors of the explicit Hendrix film began to circulate in October 2007, when Vivid registered several Internet domain names for the project. According to a company press release, Vivid acquired the rare 8mm home movie footage of the late rock guitarist from "a collector of rock 'n roll memorabilia."

During a Miami concert, Jim was also charged with 2 counts of indecent exposure, 2 counts for open profanity, 1 for public drunkenness and one more for his "lewd and lascivious behavior for exposing himself and by simulating masturbation".
