One of the effects of COVID on the sex industry seems to be that more sex workers are turning to cam sites and similar internet outlets to make ends meet. Sure there have always been sex workers who moonlight. There is even a webcam site dedicated to Asian bargirls that has been around for years.
But I am talking about a newer and more noticeable trend here. On the one hand there is a general trend towards women making money with their bodies over the internet all around the world. But there can be little doubt that the global shutdown occasioned by the novel coronavirus helped push things along.
That represented an increase of 50 percent from April. This kind of thing is now so common and widespread that pop singers mention it in their lyrics.
ManyVids is another gigantic website where models upload their pictures and videos to waiting customers with cash. ManyVids is run by former cam model and stripper Bella French. Long time readers of this website may recall that I interviewed Bella French in early , before ManyVids was launched or perhaps even imagined. Years later I was paid back for my efforts when a claim was made against this site for use of a publicly available picture of the interviewee. For all I know it may have been an automated thing but in any event it was quickly rectified by removing all offending images.
Of course you can still find them all with a simple Google image search if you are truly interested. I am no stranger to this sort of thing. Just a year ago I noticed that a go go bar dancer in Bangkok had turned to making porn videos and selling them online.
