If porn had gained ground in the last 30 years, like any sector, it evolves. And the new trend is for camgirls. The operation and the state of mind are very different, and this is what fans of this kind of product like, facing an aging world that tends to become just business, much to the chagrin of consumers … End of the porn ?
The conditions of the world of pornography tend to deteriorate, as evidenced by the former actress X Ovidie, who became a producer in the same sector today. This is perhaps one of the reasons why camgirls are more successful: less scripted shows, more interactions, more freedom, direct exchanges, … So many little things that make all the difference between these two activities.
From the mother to the girl-next-door
What must already be in mind is that any woman can embark on liveshows. The mother of a family, a young girl, a proven cougar, trans, fetishist … Everything is possible, there is something for all tastes and all colors. That’s what customers like. This proximity, this comfortable feeling of not being in front of a porn pro where we remain passive leads to more exchanges. If you know how to do it right, you will quickly win subscribers who will be happy to pay you for benefits.
The “girl next door” side works well because users are able to project themselves. It’s like looking through the keyhole. All the pornstars, except rare exceptions, have planted themselves while trying the cam”, assures Stephen des Aulnois, founder of the site devoted to the culture Le Tag Parfait.
Once the camera is activated, the camgirls enter into their characters, forgetting their privacy while the light is on and devote themselves entirely to the attention of their subscribers.
Rather Freemium or rather Cam-to-Cam?
To explain just a little how the livecams work, there are two modes: freemium and cam-to-cam. The first is free and the second is paid. Basic, simple. It was LiveJasmin in 2001 who proposed this mode of operation. Leader of the genre, it was followed by large platforms like Chaturbate, Cam4, MyFreeCams, Bongacams, XloveCam, … which have about the same mode of use but are differentiated by their details.
Finally, to come back to the subject, subscribers can have free access to public shows and chat with their favorite camgirls. Afterwards, it works by tokens (currency on the platform). If they want to request an action or a service of a model, they will have to give them tokens. For example, to reward the delivery of the camgirl or to ask her to perform an action -dress you or more, it is necessary to drop the tokens (note: the chips) which are worth 10 cents per unit. Count a hundred for a flashtits (show her breasts). The triple for a “sextoy in pussy” or more for other body feats based on fruits and vegetables, etc etc
It is also quite possible to go into private show when the user wants to have a little privacy. And the tippers (payers) can take a quick look but will not have access to the entire show. And a private show does not necessarily mean sex online!
In a public show, the video is associated with a cat. It shows scrolls tokens and messages directly addressed to the camgirl. Unlike porn, they interact with the performer they watch. It is this active voyeur side that appeals, and that encourages them to communicate and exchange:
“I did shows in public that were not sexual, there is a lot of fun and discussions, it’s close, a fun evening with friends, says Carmina, 31, who describes her activity as shared sex. Of course, I can caress myself and make me cum but it’s not just that. The exchange is at the center of the cam, the sexual action is almost secondary. “
This personal involvement, unlike porn, contributes to the success of platforms and camgirls:
“In front of a movie, you look, you are very passive. With the cam, you have to be active so that something happens, you have to break the barrier of the screen, confirms Stephen des Aulnois. That’s why connected Ohmybod sextoys have cardboard. A token and the object vibrates. Interactivity is instant. It’s an artifice but it works very well. “
No obligation for the camgirl
Another point that pleases both performers and customers is that there are no obligations. The latter is free to connect whenever it sees fit, as long as it wishes and is not obliged to execute all requests from its subscribers. They can still pay and ask but there is no obligation. A little game that can stimulate both the consumer and the camgirl. Moreover, some get caught up in the game and sometimes exceed the limits they had set at the start, which they sometimes regret. They specify at registration what they accept or not, and it is displayed on their profile. But they remain free of their choices.
“I’m not accountable to anyone. I am free of my schedules, my outfits. It can be done from anywhere, just have a good computer, sound, a microphone, a cam, “says ClaraHot, cameuse winner up to 5000 euros per month for over 10 years.
From a few hours a month to full-time work, the model chooses its connection time. “The bosses, it’s us and it’s enjoyable to earn money by doing exactly what you want, when you want and take pleasure too“, adds Carmina who reveals her life of camgirl on a blog .
“It’s not because the customer pays that I’m going to do it. It’s me who decides, insists Carmina. Moreover, tippers pay to reward your show rather than ask for action. “
Camgirl: new procuring 2.0?
If being a camgirl is the future of porn, one wonders if it is the same for prostitution. Platforms do not defend themselves and are not there to sell this kind of services. However, they can not control what models do, free to accept appointments outside, at their own risk. It is also very disadvised for girls to give their personal information, addresses, etc etc … and they are advised to choose a good nickname that would hide their identity.
It must also be known that the operations are different from one country to another. In France, for example, girls are true independents, neither God nor master and self-manage. To use a turnkey service, they pay between 30 and 75% of the money they earn during their sessions. This (large) percentage includes the hosting costs, bandwidth of the site as well as their commission.
“They put at our disposal a webcam platform which they manage all the operation from A to Z” explains ClaraHot. “They take advertising for them to bring customers so I really understand that their commissions are important,” she concedes.
After, it is still possible to be totally independent but it has a cost … However, a little more, to win more subscribers, it is advisable to have other profiles on other platforms, and on social networks, or even to have a free website.
But this is not the case everywhere. The example of Eastern Europe or South America is well known in this respect. There are “cam factories” that exploit female performers by having them work long hours and leaving them with a minimum of income. Money factories are very profitable for those who put them in place. All camgirls are therefore not housed in the same boat.
In any case, what is certain is that this new economic model gradually replaces the traditional porn industry and pleases both Internet users and camgirls. Here, girls control everything and no longer suffer the sometimes degrading scenarios of the world of pornography. As long as they have good material for their shows, they will have the potential to do what they like and live well.
