Vice Profiles How Cam Models 'Changed Porn Forever'

CYBERSPACE — Vice.com has published a piece headlined “How Cam Models Changed the Porn World Forever” on their tech news Motherboard vertical and in print in their “Borders Issue.”

Written by one of their regular adult industry reporters, Samantha Cole, the article explores how camming and customized content has turned our experience with porn into "uniquely personal moments."

Adult industry voices on both the cam performer and business sides — including Ela Darling, Ryan James, Jay Donahue, Little Puck, Thomas Marks, Destiny Diaz and JustForFans’ Dominic Ford — are showcased by Cole in a wide-ranging meditation on the history and impact of the “two-way porn” revolution on erotic expression.

Cole also highlights the influence of camming on the diversity of sexual experiences available online.

Camming platforms that show “something different and real, something that centers on bodies and experiences outside the model pool of youth, thinness and heterosexuality — ideals that production studios and porn monoliths have coveted for so long, will only increase in demand," Cole speculates. "That’s part of why cam shows where models just talk about their lives, or older gay men have intimate, loving sex, are so popular right now.

A commendable editorial decision by Vice was to illustrate the piece with artwork by popular sexual health influencer Zoë Ligon (aka @thongria).
