Advancements in Technology Drive Explosive Pornography Growth
What is pornography? Hmm... that's a great question and difficult to answer. You see, pornography is just a vehicle for sex. Since pleasure and sexuality are subjective, it's impossible to define. We view pornography as something that aides in sexual arousal. Not what it is, but exactly how it is delivered.
One thing we can agree on is sex is everywhere. Humans will always have sex, crave more sex, and search for new ways to be aroused. The actual size of the community behind porn remains a mystery, but technology has aided in its exponential growth by becoming more accessible, immersive, and generally speaking, more accepted.
It's no surprise to us that in 2016 the entire adult entertainment brought in over 97 billion dollars. That's lots and lots of sex, people!
What has caused explosive growth? We review this evolution below.
Porn As It Was.
Careers as a porn stars began with big agencies searching for models to star in XXX rated movies. They set high expectations of models with demanding schedules, degrading and embarrassing bodily acts, and even unreasonable salaries. Big companies profited a large portion of the sales of the publicly viewed film.
Porn As It Has Been.
We all know what Pornhub is. You can pretend you don't, but we're calling your bluff. Statistics show the industry is exploding.
Truth is, on Pornhub there were 91,980,225,000 videos watched in 2016 alone. That is more than 12.5 videos of porn watched by every single person on this planet.
The internet has played a significant role in the expansion and accessibility of porn. We now have the ability to download photos onto our computer, privately stream videos, even broadcast yourself to millions around the world. This feeds into our perceived entitlement to instant gratification. Whether McDonald's fast food is to blame is a whole different story. But our attitude of "we want it and we want it know" has left us with an unquenchable thirst for something wetter.
Porn As It Will Be.
Adult camming gives the viewer the ability to control and direct their experience with live, interactive models 24 hours a day 7 days a week all from the comfort of their La-Z-Boy. Models are encouraged to flirt and chat with the viewers and undress or perform specific sexual fantasies. Obviously, the more they pay, the more privileges they will earn. Live adult webcamming gives full control to the viewer with uninhibited excitement. This type of pornography has seen explosive growth and is changing the adult entertainment industry as we know it.
Instead of watching a porn film, you can now control your own fantasy. Where ever your imagination can take you. It's like being the director of an adult film where the models are submissive and are eager to fulfill all of your sexual fantasies. No more pre-recorded porn videos. It's 2017, which means you can get live and in real time sex however you want it.
Webcam pornography provides the viewer with an extensive menu. They can now choose models in any size, shape, color, and level of dirtiness that they are dreaming of. There are always models online and begging for their attention. They can even search by specific sex acts like oral sex, masturbation, or group sex. If the show is no longer enjoyable, they can easily switch to another virtual sex partner as many times as they would like. That is ultimate control.
Webcam modeling is the safest career in the adult entertainment industry. Since you are not actually performing sex acts with another person, there is no way of transmitting sexual diseases.
There are many dangers along with STD's when meeting and interacting with strangers in person especially in this line of work. Webcam modeling is a new kind of porn that allows every model to work from where they are most comfortable and is one of many reasons why this career is experiencing explosive growth.
Webcam models who do not have a comfortable space at home have resorted to using studios that provide them with all of the essential equipment needed to start modeling.
Mugur Frunzetti's Studio 20 provides support to aspiring webcam models by providing them with a safe and secure studio that is furnished with high tech equipment and professional lighting. The studio is a hub for webcam models in the Los Angeles region and specializes in coaching models and guiding through the journey of adult webcamming.
Models who prefer to work in a separate location find it helpful to have a team of technicians readily available to assist with troubleshooting. Working alongside other models makes them feel more comfortable and they can use each other as a tool to provide better quality experiences for their viewers.
Models are now their own agents. They no longer have to answer to nagging superiors. This puts them in full control and are not "owned" by an agency or company. Instead, they do your own advertising and design their own performance. They are not held to any expectations. They simply perform whatever they are most comfortable with. When acting as an agent for yourself, it is necessary to build up your personal brand. In our recent post, we talk about how this is a crucial step to becoming a successful webcam model.
We simply cannot begin to explain what pornography is without talking about technology. It has driven the evolution of porn and continues to define and shape the entire adult entertainment industry. Adult webcamming will continue to grow in direct correlation with the advancement in technology. It's accurate to say pornography is the fastest growing industry in the world.
