About
The Jamaican River Raft Video, also known as the The Martha Brae Special, refers to an explicit viral video of a female tourist in Jamaica almost being penetrated by a male river raft guide (on the Martha Brae river) until she tells him, "Not in, sir," prompting him to at least, "Get a plastic bag or something," to make a makeshift condom. The video originally went viral on the website formerly known as Twitter in August 2022. Roughly a year later, in August 2023, the video resurfaced, prompting reactions and memes related to the woman's "plastic bag" request.
Origin
Sometime in late August 2022, a video surfaced online in which a woman was on a bamboo raft in the Martha Brae river in Jamaica where a male guide was massaging her with his penis out, about to penetrate her. She told the man "Not in, sir," and then said, "Get a plastic bag or something. I'm serious."
According to a September 1st, 2022, article from the Jamaica Observer,[1] the video originally went viral on Twitter. The raft company that the guide was a part of, River Raft Ltd, issued a statement in the article, saying it was "appalled by video and has advised that its company is 'in no way associated' with the footage."
Some of the only still-accessible August 2022 content about the video was uploaded to TikTok, the earliest being a video posted by TikToker[2] @sashcobain on August 31st, 2022, gaining over 35,200 plays in one years (shown below, left). On September 1st, 2022, TikToker[3] @donbonez1 posted a sketch about the video, using the original video's audio. The TikTok received roughly 67,400 plays in one year (shown below, right).
