The world of sex work is not only a seductive one, it’s also a complex one. Camgirl003 shows us the ins and outs of this industry. She is a regular girl who grew up in a suburb of Windsor and now makes hundreds of pounds a day by talking online to men about their sexual fantasies and interacting with sex toys in a virtual room. It’s not quite stripping, but it is something close.

She started out as a sugar baby, which is an arrangement where a wealthy man pays for a younger woman to be his personal slave. But while she’s lavished with money, gifts and a vehicle, she’s still unsatisfied and looking for a sense of validation. This is when her sugar daddy suggests she become a camgirl.

The basic idea is that you log onto a webcam site and set up a private chat room. A client then comes in and buys ‘tokens’ which allow her to do various acts. Some of these can be simple – like touching or kissing – while others are more explicit, like taking off your clothes or remote control of a sex toy. You can be paid by the minute, or you can be charged an hourly fee for a private show.

Mazzei has a lot of work to do in order to create a successful show: researching kinks and lingerie, getting to know her viewers by their usernames (and their spoofed phone numbers), and learning how to make it look good on camera. She also has to spend a great deal of time writing and filming her videos for her OnlyFans channel, ensuring that the content she sends to viewers is as titillating as possible.

As she becomes more established, Mazzei gets better at the craft of creating sexy shows and is able to attract bigger and more regular tippers. She starts to develop her persona, as well – ‘Una’ is her goofy, nerdy character who loves to wear a sailor hat and a bikini in public.

Aside from the sexual content, there’s a lot of other stuff that goes on in a camgirl room. Some camgirls talk about their jobs, family life and kinks while others focus on creating a fantasy for the viewers in their rooms.

There are even some who do ‘domination’ shows, where they take the control away from the viewer and force them to comply. It’s a world that’s both strange and empowering, and the future looks bright for this subculture.

It might not be long before we see camgirls augmented with deepfakes, allowing them to realistically put someone else’s face on their own – or even to replace it completely. And with the emergence of virtual reality, it might not be long before we’re seeing camgirls in a completely immersive 3D environment. That’s just the beginning, though – these technologies will eventually be rolled out to more everyday devices such as phones and TVs.
