Camgirl: A New Type of Business That Generates Big Money?
Human sexual activity is secretive, private, isolated in the sanctuary of privacy, hidden from view. What is shown and expressed on posters, in erotic performances, in pornographic images, and what might be considered explicit sexuality, is merely a spectacle of sex and only makes sense to a voyeuristic audience. However absurd pornographic content may be, humans generally find them attractive, otherwise, the global porn industry would not be what it is today, an industry that generates billions of dollars every year. Who can argue that there are tons of people who have been satisfied by looking at these blonde teen nudes while masturbati ng?
The rise of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) has enabled the development of an activity that is significantly revolutionizing the sex industry and is particularly beneficial to sellers of pleasure and their clients. Instead of resorting to prostitution, young women specializing in the sale of sex can practice their activity completely legally by becoming camgirls. Viewers, comfortably seated behind their screens, have no fear of being punished for purchasing sexual services.
The Camgirl Profession
Camgirls are young women who exhibit themselves on online platforms specializing in broadcasting live porn videos in exchange for payment. These young women create highly personal videos in which they engage in sexual practices alone or with one or more sexual partners. They film them live from their homes or other private locations and/or record them and then post them on dedicated websites.
The pornographic images are viewed by viewers, from their homes or any other convenient location: public transportation, offices, etc., via a computer or mobile device (smartphone, tablet) connected to the internet. These "voyeurs," as they are known in the industry, generally need to subscribe to the site to access live sessions with the cam girls. By registering, you can, for example, connect with one of the young women for a live striptease show, or perhaps even have the chance to video chat with your neighbor next door, or enjoy a masturbation scene performed by a real porn actress.
The cam girls are paid based on the services they provide. Platform developers have their own payment methods: based on the length of shows, the number of subscribers who connect to the channel, etc. Generally, websites charge access fees based on the type of video or the length of the show. Subscribers must pay in virtual currency.
Cam girls operate anonymously, using pseudonyms and never sharing their personal contact information (email address, phone number, home address, etc.).
Cam girl profiles
Cam girl activity generally appeals to young students looking for additional income and/or those aspiring to become professional porn actresses. The sex industry is constantly growing and, as a result, increasingly attracts young, modern women.
Cam girls must be of legal age, 18 years of age or older, and demonstrate specific personal skills, such as being completely comfortable and relaxed when exhibiting themselves engaging in often very sexual practices in front of a camera, and having easy contact with subscribers.
Cam girls must be equipped with the essential equipment to record and broadcast images, namely a computer, a webcam, and an internet connection. Experts have their own studio equipment. Some even work with a dedicated production team.
The Downsides of Cam Girls
Cam girls are a good career, but they also present many risks. Young women often face bosses (website developers) who pressure them to comply with all their subscribers' demands, even if it means meeting them and thus falling into prostitution. Bosses blackmail reluctant cam girls by threatening to reveal their identities and/or widely distribute their photos and videos to the general public.
What can be concluded?
The advancement of digital technology, especially the Internet, has revolutionized the global pornography industry, and instead of benefiting the old players, it has brought about what is considered the democratization of pornography, a situation where anyone can become an actor/actress, producer, and director. All because of advances in camera technology connected to the Internet.
Some camgirls operate independently in the sense that they are freelancers and not under any agency. They only need to share the revenue with the platform that uploads their videos, there is no director, no production house owner, and no coercion. Depending on their physical qualities and how they act in front of the camera, they can work only for themselves.
Others operate under agencies and while they are not always forced to act “off the deal,” they are essentially workers and “not really free.” However, they also have the advantage that the agencies they work for are usually agencies with a large number of customers.
As for the viewers, they should realize that at the end of the day, these live porn recordings are mostly setups and should not be mixed with everyday reality. They should limit themselves from “swallowing” what is presented and consider it a goal to be achieved.
