The video digitally obscured the men's faces, but little else.
Police in Hong Kong announced they are investigating recent videos showing two naked men engaging in sexual acts in full view of passengers on a moving public train. According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the two viral clips appeared to be filmed on the Tung Chung line, although a spokesman for the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) said little else was known about the two men or the videos which were posted to Twitter.
The short video clips showed the men naked, masturbating, and engaging anal sex on the train. While there are no passengers immediately around the men, the carriage is not empty. The videos obscured the faces of the two men, but their genitalia can be clearly seen. It is unclear who filmed the videos.
An unnamed spokesman for MTR said they had no information on where the videos came from and when they were filmed, noting that no incidents were reported by passengers or recorded by stations on the line recently. The company announced they were working with police in the investigation.
"The Tsing Yi operations control center has reported the case to police and will assist the investigation," the spokesman said, also asking passengers to refrain from engaging in similar acts of public sex on their trains in the future.
The pair featured in the clips potentially face up to seven years in jail if convicted of "outraging public decency" as well as a small fine. Police confirmed they received the complaint, and are investigating both the filming of the video and its dissemination as separate crimes. They listed the case as both "disorderly conduct in a public place" as well as "disseminating obscene and indecent articles." No suspects or arrests have been announced.
This is not the first time a public train has been used as a backdrop for amateur porn. In 2019, George Mason, the adult film star better known to his fans as the HungYoungBrit, pleaded guilty after having sex on a London Underground train and posting video of the threesome to his website.
"It showed full sex, oral sex and masturbation in the presence of the travelling members of the public," prosecutor Miss Victoria Murphy said at the time.
In 2018, an off-duty Delta flight attendant joined the mile high in a jumbo jet bathroom with porn star Austin Wolf. The eight-minute viral video (titled 'Keep Climbing') showed the full-service attendant performing fellatio on the porn star before the pair engaged in anal sex.
While exhibition has long been a fetish, it has seemingly increased in prominence over the last few years alongside the increase of homemade adult pornography. Particularly in the context of social media, the riskier a video seems, the more drama one can weave into it, the more likely it is to go viral which oudl lead to greater exposure and possible new subscriptions for fan site accounts. Just this weekend a video went viral on Twitter featuring two men in a New York City train station.
