In our capitalistic society, female beauty has been effectively monetised. Guys pay for a cam girl’s attention and dopamine hits and she in turn rewards them with personal responses to their private messages – the equivalent of microtransactions on video games. The majority of profits on a camsite come from exploiting addictive behaviour, similar to how casinos make the majority of their profit through “whale” users.
In her memoir, Camgirl, Isa Mazzei documents taboo topics with a refreshing mix of breezy honesty and self-awareness. This week on LGBTQ&A, she talks about the work that goes into making it look effortless and how being a camgirl changed her views on consent in sexual relationships.
