As a man who has been involved in the adult industry for over 7 years I felt it would be useful to have a look at a part of this enormous business in a new way. One of the more favored kind of entertainment site is the webcam chat site. Once on the web site a site guest can glance at from a handful to several thousand webcam girls and begin a real-time video chat.

This article will provide a brief introduction to video chat and how it works.


If you are new with how video chat sites work, how it all works is the performer has a camcorderconnected to her PC which telecasts via the web site she is signed up with. The guest can then watch her in a window in his browser. In most cases there is a chat window so both host and guest can communicate by text too. The viewer pays between $0.99 and $5.99 or more per minute.

The Myths
The perception most people have for adult chat sites is that it's about nothing more than sex. The belief is that these sites are full of estranged, crazy men who just want to seet a much younger lady perform sex acts. While it's fair to say that abulk of visitors are men and that the focus of the chat is sex-related, it's definitely not as unbalanced as one might think.


From my personal experience I have found that a larger percentage of women are starting to become members at adult chat sites and that a a significant portion of male visitors are not there for sex believe it or not. What many people have overlooked is that video chat provides a unique, personal outlet to communicate. In essence, its about building a relationship.

Here's an somewhat typical example of a web site that promotes this industry, take a look at CrazyWebcams.com.


As for the performers, many are from Eastern Europe (Romania, Russia and the Czech Republic to name a few) with South America (Colombia) and Asia (The Phillippines) as well. The chat hosts typically are employed in studios, due to the high cost of computers and camcorders not to mention the fact that a lot of these girls still live at home.

For a lady in her early 20s from these parts of the world the payout , which can go up to several hundred dollars per hour, is a very powerful enticement. For some it's a way to explore their own sexuality and for some a somewhat risky but undeniable way to possibly become involved with foreign men.
