A webcam model ( colloquial gender-neutral: cammodel ; female: camgirl ; male: camboy ) is a video performer who streams on the Internet with a live webcam broadcast. [1] A webcam model often performs erotic acts online, such as stripping , masturbation , or sex acts in exchange for money, goods, or attention. [2] [3] They may also sell videos of their performances.

Unlike other sex work (such as street prostitution ), webcam models operate safely from home or a studio. They hence have no need for pimps (which can be seen by prostitutes as "protectors"), and can work independently, or with a partner. [1]

As many webcam models operate from their homes, they are free to choose the amount of sexual content for their broadcasts. [4] While most display nudity and sexually provocative behavior, some choose to remain mostly clothed and merely talk about various topics, while still soliciting payment as tips from their fans. [5] Webcam models are predominantly women, and also include noted performers of all genders and sexualities. [6]

Once viewed as a small niche in the world of adult entertainment , camming became "the engine of the porn industry", according to Alec Helmy, the publisher of XBIZ , a sex-trade industry journal. [7]

Pornographic films have existed since the creation of film in the late 1800s, [8] but livestreaming pornography has been a recent development. [9] 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. [10] Two years later, in 1998, she divided her website's access between free and paying. [11]

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. [5] [12] 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. [5] [13] Within her members section , Amanda made it a point to chat with her viewers for over three hours a day. [5] Since the early days of live webcasts 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. [14]

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. [1] [15] 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 viewers of the model's chat room's video stream. [16]

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 to buy access to private shows, operate a Teledildonic device that a model may be wearing, or used to buy videos and souvenirs from a model. 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 ranges from 30% to 70%, depending on the cam site. [17]

A July 2020 survey found the average webcam model in the United States works 18 hours per week, and earns $4,470 per month. Webcam models who work full-time (40 hours per week or more) earn $11,250 per month on average. Top-earning webcam models have a self-reported income of over $312,000 per year, while bottom earners take home as little as $100 per week. [18]

In the United States , webcam models are considered as self-employed workers, and their tax rate is 15.3% (where 12.4% is for social security and 2.9% for Medicare ). If their income is higher than $600, they are sent a 1099 form , and this is to be reported to the IRS . [19]

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. [16] 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. [1] The chatter is constant, and is often led by a small band of regular fans. [11]

This is not the first time that conversational interaction had become a boon for the erotic entertainment industry. In the early 20th century, sociologist Paul Cressey noted that within the hundreds of taxi-dance halls of America, "the traffic in romance and in feminine society" would become available when taxi dancers would offer their companionship and "the illusion of romance" for ten cents a dance. [20] [21] The Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre strip club is credited with the invention of the lap dance in 1977 when their new stage, New York Live, pioneered customer-contact shows with strippers that came off the stage and sat in the laps of customers for tips. [22] Enabled with this new revenue stream for strippers, the strip club industry went through a period of extreme growth during the 1980s.

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. 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.
