Watch out webcam models - you are being hunted

For quite some time now I've stated that webcam modeling is not just the new frontier of adult entertainment - it's also one of the safest ways to be a part of and earn a decent living in the adult (porn) industry. However as of yesterday, my thoughts have changed which is why I'm writing this piece.

Watch out webcam models - you are not just in demand and the adult industry's hottest commodities as of current - you are being hunted by predators (illegal pimps, unethical adult industry "professionals", human traffickers and criminals).

Don't worry though - every predator has a natural enemy that knows it's weaknesses (trust me, there's a reason many males in the porn industry dislike "Cougars" - even "Baby Cougars" such as myself).

As of current, thanks to the efforts of websites such as www.GettingIntoPorn.com , www.Xbiz.net along with several other open, honest and comprehensive adult entertainment industry online resources - many women have become aware that the porn industry harbors many more pitfalls and dangers than it would like the public to be aware of, which makes it much more difficult for recruiters to find fresh talent (the primary and key element the porn industry is reliant upon).

Many women, even in this weak economy, have quickly come to realize (thanks to the internet), that they are better off webcamming from the safety and security of their own homes, rather than making the trek to Los Angeles or Miami. This new trend has heavily effected the quality of content (well actually the quality of performer) the porn industry has been producing lately, so a new tactic has come into play.

Adult industry talent "recruiters" are now trolling the webcam networks in search of fresh talent to lure into possibly dangerous, illegal and unsafe work environments. Top studios such as Twisty's started using this tactic first, and slowly it's trickled down into the lower levels of porn.

A recruiter (aka pimp) will befriend a webcam girl, and in time claim that she has such a marketable look (and she just might) that he could book her right away for legitimate porn shoots. Unfortunately the majority of the time when the girl is finally convinced to travel to meet the recruiter for work, there is not any work pre-booked. If anything the recruiter expects the model to continue webcamming (with her pre-existing clientel) , pay the recruiter for her living expenses, room and board, and IF the recruiter DOES manage to book her anywork, she's expected to fork over a percentage of those earnings.

It's modern day slavery, debt bondage, and old school pimping with a new school twist. The recruiter is essentially stealing the earnings the webcam girl would have been retaining independently if she'd never met the recruiter AND she's handing over her pre-established fan base (which equates to countless earnings) to the recruiter (aka PIMP).

If you are a webcam girl currently, DO NOT work for a webcam studio, DO NOT attempt to enter porn right now considering the upheaval the industry is currently experiencing (STD testing is not centralized to it's uncertain as to who has what diseases) and DO NOT be fooled by any recruiters, managers, scouts or agents into traveling anywhere.

Please stay home, remain independent, webcam solo from home, stay safe and remember there's no such thing as a quick buck or easy money.
