CBC Profiles Webcam Girl's "First Time"

TORONTO - Live video chat hostess Miel (French for Honey) sits nervously on the couch in the LiveCamNetwork.com chill-room, while technicians around her adjust lights and sound levels.

She is going on camera for "My First Time", a documentary produced for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, profiling "how pornography and its ever growing presence affect the way young Canadians have their first sexual relation."

2much.net founder Mark Prince, who started LiveCamNetwork.com four years ago, referred the CBC to his old site when they called asking to contact someone willing to appear on national television about her job: adult video chat hostess, or webcam girl.

"Not everyone is willing," explained Prince. "These aren't porn professionals trying to launch a career in the industry. They're someone's 'girl next door', like Miel herself: a student who heard about the work and finally responded to an ad in a local paper."

Jen, webmistress of LiveCamNetwork.com, said, "2much has been getting lots of media attention lately. With Galafilm following them all year, and the Internext, they really have a lot on their plate," she said. "So I don't mind helping out. This is obviously a good thing for our site, anyhow. And 2much has always helped us out."

The mainstream media's newfound curiousity is generally considered a healthy sign by the adult industry. "But don't expect us to say yes to everyone," said Jen. 2much Media and Communications director Greg Jones concurred. “We’re careful to check interviewer’s attitudes at the door. If the program isn’t open-minded or at least biased in our favor, we’re not interested. The industry and its workers don't need to be further stigmatized or marginalized."

The one-hour documentary, produced my Montreal's ORBI-XXI, will not focus on the industry exclusively, however. According to the company press release, "testimonies from... teens, experts, adults and retired people," will be charted in order to "cross the bridge between generations so a real dialogue can take place."

Hosted by respected tele-journalist Alain Gravel of the French Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (SRC-CBC), "The First Time" will air in February next year on RDI, CBC and CBC Newsworld.
