This website has covered the adult entertainment industry around the world for many years. I have been writing about various commercial sex topics at least once a week since 2012. That means quite a lot of words have been published here.
Of course the number of reports and essays on this website still pale in comparison to the number of adult cam models to be found around the world. A large number are located in the Philippines. That has been the case for at least as long as this website was around.
Those who read this site ten or twelve years ago might remember some of my early interviews. They included a question and answer session with a Filipina woman in America who became quite prominent in the camming field. Later she made waves in custom adult clips and fetish porn too.
I have also covered other aspects of adult camming. I was around from the earliest days of streaming video and I have always had an interest in sexual entertainment. So I can tell you about the way sex cams came to prominence. And I can also tell you about some of the changes that have taken place over the years.
Progress and evolution
Humans have always been sexual creatures. We tend to take every new medium and use it for erotic expression. Some of the oldest artwork ever discovered displayed sexual scenes and “private parts.” People made sexy statues, painted pornographic pictures on walls, and utilized early film technology to make porn movies.
The internet was no different. People started exchanging sexually charged messages as soon as online communication became available. Bulletin boards eventually allowed us to share adult pictures. Eventually streaming video came along and it was instantly used to send live video of naked women across the world.
Before long some enterprising individuals realized that they could set up cam studios in some less developed countries like Colombia and the Philippines. They would recruit women who needed money to model. Guys in more developed parts of the world would spend money to watch them.
Supply, demand, middle men and more was at play. And in some cases, it still is. There are definitely more independent cam models now than there were in the past. With the widespread adoption of smartphones and wireless internet even Pinay cam girls have been able to branch out on their own and seize the opportunity that Asian sex chat affords them.
Where are we now?
No matter where in the world you find yourself today you can watch some sort of live adult entertainment over the internet. That’s true even in backwaters that try to limit our expression. Broadcasting can be just as easy. Though some rules and regulations may prevent some would be performers from getting busy online.
Overall things have evened out a bit. And become more developed and mainstream. Some famous people have even taken to displaying their bodies over the web to make coin. There has been some backlash from the expected corners. But overall it actually seems to be more or less accepted.
The plain fact is that people need money. Some people have more than others. The same goes for sex. Some people can get it when they want it. Others can’t. Then there are those who don’t even want it. There is a lot of variation among the 8 billion people on earth.
Those of us who like to look at a nude woman’s body have more options now than ever in the past. We can look at live nude dancers at a strip club or watch women spread eagle on our computer screens. You can check out all sorts of models on cam sites like the Official XXXChatLive.com. Or you can look at old retro porn magazines.
The choice is yours. At least for now. While some bemoan the burden of choice it is nice to be able to make our own decisions in life. We can’t decide where and when we are born. But we can try our best to make the most of whatever situation we end up in. I think a lot of the adult cam performers from poorer parts of the world have done exactly that. Should anyone really be surprised?
