Girls Behind Porn Webcams
The Girls Behind Porn Webcams and Sex
"Almost all webcam models are women, but the chiefs of the business are mostly men."
For a year, Samantha got her computer, her webcam, and hired a 20-megabyte Internet business plan for the apartment she's living in; it was all I needed to be independent. The transmission study keeps 50% of what the models earn. The most popular may be up to 75%.
Samantha learned English while discovering how the web pages she is registered are working: Chaturbate, ImLive, MyFreeCam, and Jasmin. He also knew how payment methods were and how to promote himself. Now she is keeping everything she's earning. She adapted one of the rooms where she lived, to the west of the city, with a double bed with a leather back and a couple of lights that she mounted. One is a bouquet of three energy-saving light bulbs held by a camera tripod, and the other is a white light plate held on a broomstick and a fuchsia bra strip. So, she manages to project a neat picture of the room and herself.
After spending an hour putting on makeup, divide the screen of your monitor-a 51-inch TV-to start working. Adele in black and white sings Someone Like You in the window. In another Samantha, she sees herself live, dressed in lingerie, knee socks, and a wireless keyboard on her legs, chatting with those who watch her on the Internet and asking her for an erotic dance to satisfy her unique fetish. And in the third, the four-page browser from which it transmits simultaneously.
Sex Webcams
After spending an hour on makeup, Samantha connects to the four pages from which she transmits at the same time.
The dynamics of the market
Pages that market lives sex through the Internet work in two ways, in particular. Some charge viewers membership to enter and interact with the models, and some publicly broadcast the shows-even free-and customers pay for tips. Both membership and tip pages have private rooms that give the client more privacy and negotiate money wishes. One of the leaders behind Lalexpo, the fair that brings together the webcam industry in Colombia, compares this experience to a brothel or a strip show.
When models of adult webcams are asked if their work is prostitution, they answer no because no one touches them. They satisfy customers as far as they want, but they have to deal with all kinds of perversions. "There are clients who like to play with dildos. Others want to see their feet or their heels. Others ask you to screw or urinate life, "says Angélica Jaramillo, who has been working on this for a year. "Some of the clients want to talk to you. I had those who didn't ask me to get undressed.

Webcams are not just a business. They also allow models to explore their sexuality and feel more secure with their bodies.
Psychology and strategy
Kata Angel, another webcam model, says she's good at making users fall in love.
"I've learned to work with client psychology, to raise different types of conversations depending on who is on the other side. This serves to hook them up and to have more time in private. The guys come in and want to see you naked at once, but it's time to play with them to make money. Although it's a market that offers sex in a small and commercial way, from men who sell sex to men, some women have learned to enjoy their sexuality through webcam work. "I know how to demand pleasure when I am with a person that I like.
I've learned how and where I want to be touched. "I feel safer in my body," says Samantha, who, besides being a model, is also a client and pays other models for her private shows. "I saw my vagina, complete, with a webcam for the first time. I touched myself while watching myself on the screen, without being connected, and stimulated my clitoris until I felt an orgasm, "says Camila Lopez, who links to Chaturbate just for entertainment.
"I like to jump from one room to the other. See the people who are connected. There are of all ages, with all types of bodies and nationalities. "Some of the pages allow users to communicate as an exhibitor, allowing others to see their camera and not receive money in return. You can also pay for the spy option to watch other people's private shows. Camila sometimes connects as an exhibitionist: "I feel pleasure from the moment I imagine how I'm going to look at my underwear until I think about how I'm going to play with the chat. In a way, I feel sorry that three hundred people are looking at me in a room.
The pages they transmit, mostly European and North American, are the ones that keep the largest part of the business: about 70% of what customers pay for. The other part reaches the international adult entertainment industry fund on the Internet.
Money can take two paths from there. If the model is independent, like Samantha, it comes indirectly. If not, it is transferred to the studios' bank accounts, which are left with a different slice before paying the models. "I like to follow Little Red Bunny," Samantha says. She is one of the world's most famous models, crowned the best porn webcam at the 2013 Sex Awards for Adult Entertainment.
"I've learned from her that this job is not a relaxing one," recalls Samantha, who works between six and eight hours a day, from 11 a.m. to 6 a.m., because her loyal customers come from the United States and England. She plans to reach $100 a day to keep a salary of $1,500 every 15 days. He spent 400,000 pesos a month in lingerie and 150,000 in makeup. He likes to go shopping in the shopping malls, and it's something he couldn't do in the town he grew up in.
According to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, being a webcam model gave her economic independence to make decisions about her life and the opportunity to isolate herself from the cycle of poverty and exclusion in which trans women in Latin America are immersed, with a life expectancy of between 30 and 35 years. "But it's not all money. Last year, I wanted to volunteer with an NGO to do community work, and when I printed my resume, I noticed that I didn't have anything but high school.
"She is concerned that time passes and moves away from the path she wants for her: to be a flight attendant. Samantha wants to be Colombia's first trans woman to become a flight attendant. Samantha broadcasts from 11 a.m. to 6 a.m. Webcam's work isn't relaxation for her.
Palexpo, the fair that brings together the webcam industry in Colombia, regulates its participants with a blacklist of people reported in sexual abuse or child trafficking studies. According to Juan Bustos, Colombia is the second country with more webcam models than Romania, an adult entertainment entrepreneur.
A hidden identity must keep the models in the webcam streaming pages.
Those who disclose their personal data shall be punished.
Neither drugs nor alcohol can be used during transmission on pages such as Stripcamfun.
