[[Image:MyFreeCams_Expo_Booth_with_Model_118CameraLux twiiter card image.jpg png | thumb | 340 px | right | A model demonstrates web broadcasting with a video camera and computer at an industry trade show. ]]
In 1996 an American college student and conceptual artist, Jenny Ringley, created a website called "JenniCam." Her web camera was located in her dorm room and automatically photographed her every few minutes. The camera captured Ringley doing almost everything – brushing her teeth, doing her laundry, doing stripteases – and then broadcast its images live over the Internet. Also in 1998, a commercial site called AmandaCam was launched. Amanda's site, like Ringley's, had multiple cameras around her house which allowed people to look in on her. However Amanda made an important early discovery that would influence the camming industry for decades to come – that a website's popularity could be greatly increased by enabling viewers to chat with a performer while online. Within her ''members section'', Amanda made it a point to chat with her viewers for over three hours a day.<ref name=Senft2/> Since the early days of live [[webcast]]s by Ringley and Amanda, the phenomenon of ''camming'' has grown to become a multibillion-dollar industry which has an average of at least 12,500 cam models online at any given time and more than 240,000 viewers at any given time.
===Payment systems define format===
A camming website acts as a middleman and talent aggregator by hosting hundreds of independent models, and verifies that all are at least 18 years old.<ref name=Richtel/><ref name=McGehee>{{cite news|last1=McGehee|first1=Cate|title=Camming Is Not Like Any Other Kind of Sex Work|url=https://www.thestranger.com/features/feature/2015/06/10/22360297/camming-is-not-like-any-other-kind-of-sex-work|accessdate=19 January 2018|work=the Stranger|date=10 June 2015}}</ref> Camming websites typically fall into two main categories, dependent upon whether their video [[chat rooms]] are free or private. In private chat rooms, viewers pay by the minute for a private show. However, in free chat rooms payment is voluntary and is in the form of tips, thus providing the model with an income at a minimal cost for the multiple viewers of her chat room's video stream.<ref name=Rachel>{{cite news|last1=Stuart|first1=Rachel|title=Webcamming - The Sex Work Revolution That No One Wants to Talk About|url=https://theconversation.com/webcamming-the-sex-work-revolution-that-no-one-is-willing-to-talk-about-69834|accessdate=17 January 2018|work=The Conversation|date=19 December 2016}}</ref>
''Tips'' are electronic tokens that viewers can buy from a camming website, and then give to the models during live performances to show appreciation. Tokens can also be used buy access to private shows, operate a [[Teledildonics| Teledildonic]] device that a model may be wearing, or used to buy videos and souvenirs from a model.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pornsitestars.com/best-sex-cam-sites |title=27 Top Live Sex Cam Sites You Will Love! |at=Sex Cams Explained |language=en |website=Pornsitestars.com|accessdate=8 Oct 2018}}</ref> The website provides the transactional platform and then collects and distributes a percentage of the tips to the models. For public chat rooms, the model's portion of a tip is a little less than half.<ref name=Richtel/>
Many of the industry’s top webcam models are said to make six figures a year.<ref name=Rabouin/>
===Through interaction a personal connection===
Performances can be highly interactive in both public and private video chat rooms. Customers and performers are able to communicate with each other by using keyboard, speech, and two-way cameras.<ref name=Rachel/> Within public chat rooms the audience can see tips and viewer comments as scrolling text which appears next to the real-time video stream. Camgirls will frequently read and respond to the scrolling viewer comments.<ref name=Richtel/> The chatter is constant, and is often led by a small band of regular fans.<ref name=Bartlett/> However this is not the first time that ''conversational interaction'' had become a boon for the erotic entertainment industry. The [[Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre]] strip club is credited with the invention of the [[lap dance]] when during 1977 their new stage, New York Live, pioneered customer-contact shows with [[stripper]]s that came off the stage and sat in the laps of customers for tips.<ref name=McCumber1>{{cite book | first=David | last=McCumber | pages=78–80, 155 | title=X-Rated | location= New York | publisher= Pinnacle Books | year=1992 | isbn=978-0786011131}}</ref> Enabled with this new revenue stream for strippers, the [[strip club]] industry went through a period of extreme growth during the 1980s. And in the early 20th century sociologist Paul Cressey noted that within the hundreds of [[taxi dance hall|taxi-dance halls]] of America, "the traffic in romance and in feminine society" would become available when [[taxi dancer|taxi dancers]] would offer their companionship and "the illusion of romance" for ten cents a dance.<ref name="Cressey1">{{cite book| last= Cressey | first=Paul| title=The Taxi-Dance Hall: A Sociological Study in Commercialized Recreation and City Life |date=1932 | publisher=University of Chicago Press| location=Chicago, IL| isbn=9780226120515 | page=10–11, 129 }}</ref><ref name="Wright">{{cite news| last1=Wright |first1=Evan | title=Dance With A Stranger |url=http://www.laweekly.com/news/dance-with-a-stranger-2130263 | accessdate=6 February 2018| work=LA Weekly | date=20 January 1999}}</ref>
Much of the success of camming owes to its ability to move beyond the borders of erotic video performance, and into the everyday social lives of camming customers, or ''fans'' as they are known. Webcam performers are often highly entrepreneurial, and use mainstream social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Skype, and Tumblr to build and maintain relationships with their customers.<ref name=Rabouin/> Some fans communicate multiple times a day with models through social media.
Unlike traditional pornography, the interactive nature of the camming medium titillates with the promise of ''virtual friendship''. [[Princeton University]] sociologist and author of ''The Purchase of Intimacy'', [[Viviana Zelizer]], states of camming: "They’re defining a new kind of intimacy. It’s not traditional sex work, not a relationship, but something in between."<ref name=Richtel/> Cam models perform not just sex work, but also perform through their hosting duties, conveying authenticity, creating and animating fantasies, and managing relationships over time.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Nayar|first=Kavita|date=March 28, 2017|title=Working it: the professionalization of amateurism in digital adult entertainment|journal=Feminist Media Studies|volume=Volume 17, 2017 - Issue 3|issue=3|pages=Pages 473–488|doi=10.1080/14680777.2017.1303622}}</ref>
Within ''Cam Girlz'', a documentary film about the industry, the male fans often say that they come to camming sites as a way to fulfill emotional needs. The film's director, Sean Dunne, states of the fans, "They said it’s not like a strip club -- it’s like a community, and you feel it when you’re in these chat rooms. It’s a community and entertainment that goes very far beyond sexuality."<ref name=Rabouin/>
However Dr. Kari Lerum of the [[University of Washington]] suggests that men are more open and vulnerable in cam rooms than in strip clubs, and can become very invested in relationships which only exist on the screen.<ref name=Richtel/>
==Terminology==
The term [[webcam]] is a [[clipped compound]] used to combine the terms [[video camera]] and [[World Wide Web]].
When webcam models create their live [[webcast]]s, they perform the activity known as ''camming''.
Webcam models mostly perform individually in separate video [[chat rooms]], which are frequently referred to as ''rooms''.
The term "camwhore" was first used in print in November 2001<ref>Torpy, Kathryn. (November 10, 2001) [[The Courier-Mail]] ''Virtual lolitas.'' Page 4.</ref>; however, the label is considered derogatory and pejorative.<ref>Chua, Grace. (July 30, 2006) [[The Straits Times]] ''Look, it's me - Babes who blog.'</ref><ref>Oppert, Allan; Mullens, Ken. (November 14, 2004) [[The Advertiser (Australia)|Sunday Mail (Adelaide, Australia).]] ''Surviving a great white: How it feels to be a webcam girl.'' Section: Features2; Page 66. (writing, "The first lot of cam girls coined the phrase "cam whores" as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek thing. <nowiki>[In 1999, we]</nowiki> were whoring ourselves for hits, getting on cam and flirting.")</ref>
==The camming industry==
As of 2016, the money generated by camming sites was upwards of $2 billion annually. The pornography business as a whole is estimated to be about $5 billion.<ref name=Rabouin/> According to the [[web traffic]] analysis service [[Compete.com]], [[LiveJasmin]] generates more than 9 million unique viewers a month. Similar webcam model hosting sites such as [[Chaturbate]], [[CAM4]] and [[MyFreeCams.com]] boast 4.1 million, 3.7 million and 2 million unique monthly visitors, respectively.<ref name=Rabouin/> The decentralized business model of camming has upended the pornography industry in multiple ways. Camming revenue has been severely cutting into the profits of the pornographic movie business, which has also been eroded for a number of years due to piracy and the distribution of free sexual content upon the Internet.<ref name=Richtel/> Additionally, the pornographic film industry used to be male-dominated except for the performers. But since camming only requires a video camera, broadband service, and computer, there has now been a power reversal and it is the ''female'' webcam performers who propel the industry while at home.<ref name=Rachel/><ref name=Hess>{{cite news|last1=Hess |first1=Amanda | title=Who Gets to Be Sexy? | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/style/porn-women-nonbinary-queer.html |accessdate=7 May 2018|work=New York Times|date=5 May 2018}}</ref> Todd Blatt, who once produced pornographic movies in California and has several Ferraris to show for it, declared: "If you’re the middle guy who has been eating off this industry for 20 years, it’s a big change. The girls don’t need anybody."<ref name=Richtel/> Once viewed as a small niche in the world of adult entertainment, camming today has become "the engine of the porn industry", according to Alec Helmy, the publisher of [[XBIZ]], a sex-trade industry journal.<ref name=Song>{{cite news|last1=Song|first1=Jason|title=As L.A. porn industry struggles, 'web camming' becomes a new trend|url=http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-porn-camming-20160803-snap-story.html|accessdate=16 January 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=3 August 2016}}</ref>
The new revolution that the decentralized camming industry had brought, has also challenged many cultural stereotypes concerning both the camgirls and their customers.<ref name=Ciapponi>{{cite news|last1=Ciapponi|first1=Giana | title=Of Dildos and Degrees: Why College-Educated Women are Turning to Sex Work | url=https://ravishly.com/2014/06/13/college-women-sex-work-tuition | accessdate=25 January 2018 |work= Ravishly | date=13 June 2014}}</ref> Ethnography researcher Dr. Theresa Senft herself became a camgirl for a year while doing four years of research for her 2008 book entitled, ''Camgirls: Celebrity and Community in the Age of Social Networks''. Senft has described herself as "the first academic camgirl" while becoming a “camgirl writing about camgirls.”<ref name=Senft1>{{cite book|first=Theresa |last=Senft|chapter=Introduction: The Personal as Political in the Age of the Global Network|pages= 8–11| title=Camgirls: Celebrity & Community in the Age of Social Networks |location= New York | publisher= Peter Lang Publishing|year=2008|isbn=978-0-8204-5694-2}}</ref> And Anna Katzen, a camgirl who has a postgraduate degree from Harvard, stated during an interview, :"The men I meet online rarely fall into the category of anonymous asses who have abandoned all social etiquette, nor do they resemble the pasty, calculator-wristwatch-wearing forebears of chat rooms past. Many, in fact, are successful professionals in their field – whether it be law, the arts or academia. Some of my most popular performances entail me reading erotica, perhaps [[Anaïs Nin]] or the [[Marquis de Sade]], in the buff. Oftentimes, the books are gifts from fans, who will probe me for literary analysis, if I don’t probe myself with something else first. I have unwittingly created a powerful “brand” for myself: the wild intellectual, the bluestocking in garters. “''I came for the tits, but stayed for the intellectual banter'',” remarked one of my visitors, and another stated, "''most guys aren’t looking for some airbrushed [[Barbie]]. They want real, intelligent girls – like you.''”<ref name=Katzen>{{cite news|last1=Katzen|first1=Anna | title=From Harvard to Webcam Girl | url=https://www.salon.com/2014/02/10/from_harvard_to_webcam_girl/ | accessdate=25 January 2018 |work= Salon | date=9 February 2014}}</ref>
===Hosting websites===
Webcam models typically make use of third-party websites to stream their real-time video performances upon the Internet. Some of these sites charge viewers a fixed fee per minute, although many allow free access for unregistered visitors.<ref>Prager, Michael. (May 29, 2002) [[Boston Globe]] ''Wired now looks as good as it is.'' Section: Li';l'kving; Pge D4.</ref> These Internet hosting websites, known as ''camming sites'', take care of the technical work – broadcast their video feed, payment processing, provide an intuitive interface, advertising – so that the cam model only has to focus on the actual shows for her video chat room. Most cam models are [[independent contractor]]s for camming sites, and are not employees.<ref name=McGehee/> By presenting hundreds of different models via individual chat rooms, a camming site becomes a talent aggregator and middleman – but only in the sense that Apple is the middleman for bands selling music on iTunes.<ref name=Richtel/> Though a camming website may carry many hundreds of models, they frequently provide an interface for the viewer to easily switch between the most-visited models' rooms, and that interface occasionally resembles the multiple channel selection of [[cable television]].<ref name=McGehee/>
Camming sites typically supply each webcam model with an individual ''profile webpage'' where the performer can describe themselves, and more importantly create a ''virtual store'' where they can sell items like videos, photos, personal clothing, and memberships to their fan club. The profile page's virtual store creates a stream of passive income, meaning that even if a camgirl is not online and performing, she can still generate money while fans come to the ever-present profile page to purchase its wares. One of the most popular items are homemade videos that cam models make of themselves.<ref name=Hess/> While most these videos are sexual in nature, they often include elements of comedy, fashion, and a narration of their lifestyles. The affordability and ease of new video recording technology has spawned new variations and genres of pornography since individual women as well as industry players can now create its content.<ref name=Hess/> A profile page might also sell contact information like a personal phone number, a spot on her Snapchat contact list, or the ability to send her private messages through a camming site's ''friends list''.<ref name=McGehee/> The profile page may also suggest tip amounts for real-time performance requests like a sexy dance, a song request, removal of clothing, a spanking, or the spin on a game wheel.<ref name=McGehee/> All prices on a profile page are listed in quantities of ''tips'', which are electronic tokens that the viewer can buy in bunches from the cam site to be later given to various models during performance, or in later purchases upon the profile page.<ref name=Richtel/><ref name=Bertrand>{{cite news|last1=Bertrand|first1=Natasha|title=How Webcam Models Make Money|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-how-webcam-models-make-money-2014-11|accessdate=16 January 2018|work=New York Times|date=21 September 2013}}</ref>
===Resources for performers===
Cam studios allow models to rent facilities outside of their home. These businesses can supply models with video equipment, Internet service, computer, lighting, and furniture. One example was the pornographic film company [[Kink.com]], which rented individual cam studios in the [[San Francisco Armory]] by the hour, from 2013 until the building was sold in 2018.<ref name=Richtel/><ref>{{cite news|last1=Dineen|first1=J.K.|title=SF Armory sells for $65 million — to be used for manufacturing and offices|url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-Armory-sells-for-65-million-to-be-used-12560076.php|accessdate=22 April 2018|work=San Francisco Chronicle|date=7 February 2018}}</ref>
Within some studios the cam models can work by the percentage of business that they bring in, instead of renting studio time. The cam models do not have to pay to join this type of studio, but they are also not guaranteed a salary. These models can typically choose to charge customers between $1 and $15 per minute, and then the studio keeps half of the gross while the model gets the rest.<ref name=Song/>
Another workplace option is called a "camgirl mansion", which is a place that provides equipment and broadcast rooms where multiple camgirls can live and share expenses, but without a studio owner.<ref name=McGehee/>
Various support websites<!-- do not add specific examples without a reliable, independent source.--> supply general information about business strategies, upcoming conferences, tips for performance, and reviews of studio equipment. Support sites also give advice about how to protect privacy, discourage piracy, avoid Internet security lapses, and how to prevent financial scams.<ref name=Bertrand/><ref name=Richtel/>
Conferences and industry trade shows can also aid cam models by allowing cam models to network and meet others in the profession on a personal level.<ref name=McGehee/>
==Legal issues==
===Cyber-stalkers and blackmailers===
Webcam models have occasionally been the targets of cyber-stalkers and blackmailers. Sex work researcher, Rachel Stuart, reported that while doing her PhD research she encountered webcam models who were concerned about viewers filming and sharing their performances on porn sites, or acquiring personal information which could be used to stalk or blackmail them.<ref name=Rachel/> In 2013 the New York Times interviewed a woman who prefers to conceal her real identity while working as a camgirl. She revealed that she had been cyber-stalked by a heavy tipper who started making threats and demands about what outfits she should wear. A short while later she found out that her real name and address had been posted on the Internet along with her cam name. When she complained to the police, they said that they could do nothing, because "putting real information on the Internet is not illegal." She later found out that the same individual had also threatened and outed several other camgirls. = Introduction =[[Image:Camgirl.png | thumb | 400 px | right | A model demonstrates web broadcasting with a video camera. ]]Welcome to [[Cameralux]] Wiki!
