The Truth about Webcam Girls

This programme contains strong language and some scenes of a sexual nature.

All over the country, thousands of women from 18 to 80 are

-signing up to work as online webcam models.

-I have to take this off.

For the girls it's the promise of easy money,

the most successful models charge over £5 a minute,

and can make hundreds of pounds a day,

all from the comfort of their own bedrooms.

You absolute filth bag.

INDISTINCT

But the customer always comes first,

for the hundreds of thousands of men who have signed up it means easy

one-on-one access to their favourite fantasy girl.

Does that mean your cock's twitching a little bit for me, does it?

We take a look into the secretive world of adult webcamming

and meet three online performers - Sammie...

The more you talk to them the less they are wanking.

-..Carla...

-I have never actually done an anal scene before.

-..and Olivia...

-I was always destined to have big boobs.

..and find out what it is really like baring all

online for strangers all over the world.

It is so imperative to have good people around you,

when you do this job.

I shut my computer before anything could happen.

It's not glamorous like people think.

Every day up and down the country,

thousands of Britons are logging onto adult webcam sites.

The most popular category is solo women

and there is a story behind every girl.

Do you want me to give you a little twirl?

25-year-old Sammie wants to leave a troubled past behind

and hopes that webcamming is the ticket to a better life.

I can't wait to get my degree.

I will be helping people instead of emptying their balls.

21-year-old glamour model Olivia hopes webcamming can boost her

career, but just how far will she have to go to achieve her success?

The next thing would be doing fully nude webcamming.

Where does it stop? I don't really know.

And 24-year-old porn star Carla, who does the job

because she loves it, but life as a webcam girl means

she just isn't able to find the right man.

A cock is only pretty when the guy is really hot.

Yeah, that is what I mean.

That is true. It is true.

Otherwise you're looking at it and you're like, "Urgh!"

25-year-old Sammie has been working in the adult industry for over

seven years. She used to be a porn star but now just does webcamming.

Working from home means it she likes to keep her place clean and tidy.

I would advise it for any human being, not just a cam girl,

to be clean, because if you've got a clean house,

then you've got a clean mind.

It is a hard act balancing webcamming and trying to live a normal life.

Sammie is moving flat and is waiting for the estate agent to turn up

and show some potential tenants around but he is running late

and work is currently on hold.

I don't even know what is happening with these estate agents,

I think they are taking the piss.

PHONE DIALS

'Welcome to Orange answerphone.'

I am sat here thinking, "Can I get naked or can I not?"

I just don't understand where people's decency is. I don't get it.

I am going to get on cam.

Fuck it. Fuck them.

They can fuck off.

Sammie webcams through an adult website which gives her access to

over 100,000 potential customers.

She charges £3.50 a minute, and for that she offers

a one-on-one, no limits, hard-core show.

To help draw in the punters,

Sammie uses her porn name Keisha for her online profile.

"Keisha and her naughty self is getting off on loving all the sexual action coming her way."

Now she is logged in, it is straight down to business

and not long before she gets her first punter.

Don't know what he's doing now. When he's not typing, he's wanking.

# ..I kind of want a dick in my hand Or with my foot in ya ass... #

He's going to go in a minute as well because he is going to come.

DOOR BELL RINGS

Oh! As if! It's the estate agents! One minute!

Yes, just one sec, thanks for letting me know you were going to be so late.

Absolute jokers, mate, seriously.

As if we actually knew that was going to happen.

You'll just have to wait a minute.

I have had to log off. It's like... Oh, it is so annoying.

"OK, I will be back in five," he put anyway. He's a lucky man.

You like to not tell me when you're late, don't you?

INDISTINCT RESPONSE

Yeah, I know it is. You like to not tell me, you were supposed to be here at half six, no?

-Seven o'clock I was told.

-Oh, God. You and your professionalism!

I got half six from your girl.

Being interrupted partway through a session is not ideal for Sammie

or her customer.

He might not even come back now because I had to do what I did.

I had to rush out.

I am not going to lie, I've got a bit of an anger issue. I lose my temper a lot.

I don't lose it a lot, I just lose it if a situation is...

is...is, one out of my control and, two, where I feel like I am being disrespected.

When I feel like that,

I literally can lose it and I don't want to lose it.

Like, who the hell wants to lose the plot? I know I don't. I nearly did then.

I hope he doesn't lock the door behind him

because I haven't got my key. I walked out with no key.

-Have you locked my door?

-I haven't got a key.

-You haven't got a key, nice one.

-Finished?

-I recognise you. I've met you before, haven't I?

-Have you?

Take care of yourselves. Don't worry about it.

He says he's seen me somewhere before. He's a blatant perv.

I know exactly where he's seen me. One of my foot fetish films.

Definitely!

They left all my lights on. What the hell?

With the estate agent gone, Sammie returns to business

and can finally start her shift uninterrupted.

Webcamming work can be extremely variable,

but Sammie can expect to satisfy around 20 customers per night.

And it doesn't always take long.

CASH REGISTER CHIMES

2 minutes 27.

So I made 4.88 I think.

It's 2am when Sammie finally turns off her webcam.

MUSIC: "Evening/Morning" by Bombay Bicycle Club

Sammie's main source of income is webcamming,

but it is an industry she is desperate to leave behind

so she can go to college to study psychology.

Ta, babe.

I don't really want to be interacting with people by taking my clothes off.

I'd rather interact with people on a one-on-one basis,

get into their mind and help them.

Not analyse them through a webcam

because then I will only get one type of person, and that's a horny bloke.

But in order to achieve her dreams, she's to really watch the pennies.

Babe, can you do me a favour? Can you give me a few onions?

So it's three for a pound. So you've got your lettuce,

your cucumber, can I get a few onions and make it a pound?

You're a diamond, ta.

I've got my potatoes and onions and I got tomatoes and cucumber

and lettuce and I just spent four quid.

But saving alone is not enough,

she needs to earn if she wants to go to college and that means clocking

up the hours in front of the webcam, charging £3.50 a minute.

How the system works, it takes 30%.

So in order to get £4, I need to get...

..like, what, £7?

So all it needs to be is two minutes. Two minutes and I've got it.

You all right?

In the webcam world nothing is as it seems.

Despite having a legion of male fans,

Sammie actually lives at home with her girlfriend, Mar.

I met her out on a night out, I didn't really speak to her much then.

Then one of my close friends came round here

so I came round to see her and she was walking around just like this.

She was on the cam as well.

And then we...

Then I just stayed here for a couple of days and we just got on.

I just started talking to her

and it kind of was that kind of love at first sight thing.

-Not like the first sight but...

-It took a few days.

-We had that look at each other, do you know?

Then everything has happened naturally since then.

It may look like domestic bliss

but it still has to fit around the webcam.

If the cam goes off, the food gets put off, you know?

you've got to take advantage of £2 or £3.50 a minute,

do you know what I mean?

That's the kind of thing food can wait for.

COMPUTER CHIMES

So I guess it's me taking over the dinner then, babe, yeah?

I find it funny, the fact that Sam will be talking to them

and I will be sitting next to her, I just find it really funny.

I don't know.

I think I kind of like the fact that they are getting off over my girlfriend. She's with me.

I can touch her, she is right there.

They're paying stupid amounts of money for that, just to see that.

The fact that they are men and I am a female. Do you know what I mean? I've done well.

It is nearly midnight and they finally sit down to dinner.

Dear Lord, we thank you for blessing us with this food we put in front of us,

I hope that every beautiful person gets to eat as well as we do and we thank you

for constantly guiding us, blessing me and Mar in our bright future, and we hope

that every beautiful person you put in our path gets blessed as well as we do.

-Amen.

-Amen.

-Did you look?

-Let's eat. Yes.

-Oh, she looked.

-I did.

Mar is a student and Sammie's working hours aren't always ideal.

When I have uni, it is bad because now I'm going to go to sleep

and Sam will come in and I will be knocked out so...

-Mar sleeps, she does not wake up when I go in.

-I will be knocked out.

No cuddles or nothing.

Then I've got to get up at seven in the morning. Half six, really,

so I don't get to spend any time with her in the morning.

-I'm tired.

-Go and get ready for bed then.

12 o'clock is bedtime for me.

-It's 12 o'clock?

-Yeah, babe.

-Stop it.

-I have got to be up at...

I have got to be up, man. Which is really bad.

COMPUTER CHIMES

Wait!

COMPUTER CHIMES

I am going to go to bed now.

Her daily target is £150, peak time for webcam traffic is 11pm

until 2am, so for Sammie it is when she makes the best money.

CASH REGISTER CHIMES

He wants me to pretend to suck his dick.

This can get mind numbing. I can't wait to get my degree.

Just being able to get up to work

and know that I'm going to be helping people

instead of just emptying their balls, helping them.

Actually helping people in society.

COMPUTER CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY

After this guy, I am going to turn it off and go to sleep.

I need to go to sleep. It's 2:25.

Sammie has worked later than usual but she is pleased,

she made £360.

I did over double my target today.

So it's been a good day.

Right, I am going to go to bed now.

Night then.

24-year-old Carla is a webcam girl and hard-core porn star.

I am open-minded, I will try anything, pretty much.

So I have handcuffs, baby oil, very popular.

You've got, like, your whips, this is my latex.

Bloody hell is it hard to get on.

And off. I have my dog lead. My rubber blindfold and ball gag.

My nipple clamps. That's probably the most lethal one in there. Anal beads.

Yeah, that's interesting.

Obviously for webcam purposes it widens your audience.

In the two years Carla has been webcamming,

she's had all kinds of strange requests.

This one guy wanted me sat on my sofa completely naked in Ugg boots

and cover myself with cooking oil. Olive oil.

And rub myself in it. And he was on there for about half an hour.

I charge £3 a minute, so obviously that is a nice little half hour.

With hundreds of webcam models available to the punters,

Carla has to make sure they pick her, so she's come up with some

unique ways to stay ahead of the competition.

I am quite hungry now so what I am going to do,

what I advertised was, basically, watch me cook my dinner

while I am in my underwear.

If I am doing this, sometimes I will get my leg up, keep the interest in there.

I kind of make sure that I bend over

and...

kind of have a bit of height or do it with my mouth open slightly.

Just touch myself like I am wiping something away.

This is a group session and five punters have logged in,

each paying £2 a minute.

I know this is absolutely bizarre, but people pay for this.

I can just imagine them sat at home right now, jerking themselves off.

You've kind of got to use what you've got,

you've got to realise that sometimes less is more.

You don't have to show anything.

Already I will have made about 50 quid from this already

and I haven't even got my boobs out.

With lunch taken care of, Carla retreats to the living room

for a quick go on the Xbox.

For God's sake. I am so rubbish.

A thing I have just recently found out,

I was on the webcam the other day and was bored

and some guy was like, "You play Xbox!

"And you're playing Xbox in your underwear! That's amazing."

The next thing I know I have all these people coming in

and I made I think, I got like 300 quid from that lot,

something like that just for half an hour. It's absolutely bonkers.

There's a fetish for everything.

Hooray! COMPUTER CHIMES

Hey there, are you OK? I was just playing Xbox.

It's too hot, definitely, that is why I am not wearing any clothes.

I have a personality, and I am able to connect with

a lot of the customers or a lot of the punters, which come through.

I like to just lay on my sofa in my underwear and play games.

You meet a guy, to get them to spend their money on you.

You have got to connect with them, you've got to form some sort of

chemistry to make them want to spend time with you.

Does that mean your cock's twitching a little bit for me, does it?

With the webcamming, if you throw them a load of banter and show them

that you've got a personality, they are going to want to talk to you.

You just want to have a good look at my bum, don't you? Dirty boy.

Nice juicy bum you could be watching bounce.

CASH REGISTER CHIMES

Easy as that.

That guy alone was £12, that is a nice tidy sum for six minutes' work.

Never give them too much too quick

because if you do they are just going to... I am finished.

It might look like easy money

but it is no coincidence that Carla is a successful webcam model.

She markets herself ferociously and is getting some explicit

profile pictures taken for her webcam page.

Hi. Are you all right?

Carla is no stranger to getting naked in a studio.

She's been working as a porn star for the last year.

I have always wanted to do porn ever since I was really young.

Like, stupidly young, like, 16.

I am naturally a very sexual person anyway.

And that's it, ready.

Is that the model walk, yeah?

So, nice glamour, down to butt shots, down to on the floor

and then we will get some on the bed.

She wants about 300 for a set.

OK?

That's it, nice.

The shoot has been organised by her agent.

My mum is my agent.

Naturally. Everyone's like, "Really?" My mum loves it, funnily enough.

It's like she lives her life through me.

She looks after everything, all my e-mails, everything.

Finds all my work.

Obviously she never wanted me to do it, but I think she can see how much

I actually enjoy my job and I like being my own boss.

I can do what I want and it's something that interests me.

Underneath. Pussy in shot, Patrick, with her face as well.

I personally don't see there's a problem in showing the world

one of the most natural things ever. You know? So...

Nice foot and mid shots on these,

so they are quite arty. Put your phone in your crotch.

Carla's career is flourishing, but being a webcam girl

and porn star makes it difficult to find the right man.

If I was to meet someone I liked,

I would explain to them and I'd say...

If I could see that there was something happening I'd tell them.

"Listen, you need to know something. Take it how you want to take it.

"This is what I do."

And obviously, sometimes it can go, "Oh, God, no."

Sometimes it can go, "Come on then."

And some guys are like, "OK, I don't like it,

"let's just not talk about it and accept it to a point." It's hard.

-And if it happens, we'll see.

-But it's been a long wait.

She hasn't had a boyfriend since she started webcamming.

Ambitious 21-year-old Olivia is a newcomer to webcamming.

She's invested heavily in her quest for success,

spending over £5,000 on cosmetic surgery.

Though not all the punters seemed to notice.

Usually it is someone like, "Bend over, let me do this to you,

"that to you. Will you take your stockings off."

As soon as they say that, I am like, "I've spent so much on my face

"and my boobs, why do you want to see my feet?

Just going to give him a little twirl of the outfit.

Olivia has gone to great lengths to pull in the punters.

But unlike other webcam girls, she likes to keep something hidden.

My ultimate limit is fully nude.

If they were being really, really raunchy,

I would probably do the hand cup,

which is basically like, not the most nicest thing

but it's kind of like that.

So they can't see like any lips or anything.

Or any of it, they can just see that I am fully naked and holding myself.

He's asked for a lap dance now.

And she has very clear reasons for not revealing everything.

It is the only bit of dignity that I have,

not ever showing my downstairs,

So I am trying to keep that dignity for like,

obviously, people that I choose to see it - and not get paid - do.

My mum thinks it is bad enough me

getting my boobs out, never mind anything else.

He's asked to see my bum.

Whilst Olivia keeps something back,

some of the punters are a little more forthcoming.

It's shocking when you expect someone's face

but you just see their penis straightaway.

Um, I will just let them get on with it,

at least I know that they are enjoying watching me.

Olivia's no nudity policy is working for now.

CASH REGISTER RINGS

But webcamming is not her only job.

Mwah!

Her goal is to make it big in the glamour world

and she works around the clock as an adult TV presenter and model,

appearing in lads' mags and national newspapers.

MUSIC: "Strict Machine" by Goldfrapp

This is a bit of latex, it's not the easiest thing to get in and out of.

INDISTINCT

Olivia has been, glamour modelling for two years

and she thinks she knows the reason for her success.

I was always destined to have big boob., I remember

when I was little, I had this game, and it had these wired,

little catchers for these jumping frogs

and I used to put them down my top!

At a time when most young people are in debt or struggling for work,

she's single-handedly carving out her own career, but it's not easy.

I am probably not your average 21-year-old.

I don't know where my next job or money is going to come from

so you must be quite mature about it.

I can't keep blowing it on crazy nights out

and doing whatever all my friends my age do.

Olivia is on her way home for another webcam session.

She's so focused on success

that even her flat is geared around making money.

I do try and keep my house very kind of plain and bland, so I do quite

a few photoshoots up against the big plain walls.

I have done shoots where I pushed the sofa up against it

and shoots in the kitchen and bedroom as well.

Olivia is getting ready to go on the webcam

and wants to look her best.

You have to look like a slag at the end of the day,

the sluttier the make-up the better. It's called slutty make-up.

Because of her busy schedule,

Olivia doesn't leave the meeting punters on the webcam to chance.

I generally book someone in, someone has asked to talk to me,

so they are generally a fan anyway,

so they will have gone out of their way to ask me to go on cam for them.

It's a good way to end the night, have a chat, earn some money.

I don't have any housemates or boyfriend

to keep me entertained for the last few hours of the night.

# Talk dirty to me... #

The punter arrives and Olivia gets to work.

High, sexy, how are you?

But as things start to hot up....

..the Internet goes down.

I am so bad with technical difficulties like this.

I actually don't know what to do.

With the Internet down, she decides to pack it in for the evening.

And the unlucky punter will have to come again.

It's 2pm and Sammie has just started

her usual 12 hour shift on the webcam.

This guy has been on the webcam with me since I started doing webcamming.

He's a very simple guy, he always wants to be told he's got a big cock.

So he will pay £3.50 per minute.

I must get at least 150 quid a week off him.

Despite being an experienced webcam girl,

Sammie doesn't always get the chance to glam up

and this can sometimes lead to some wardrobe malfunction.

Oh, shit, I've got the wrong pants on.

I've got leggings on underneath.

I'll have to take them off. It's cold outside, innit?

# Mistakes, oh, my I'm turning red, ooh

# Who could this be? Oh, my

# Ooh, my... #

COMPUTER CHIMES

To be a successful webcam girl, Sammie has to be ready to carry out

all kinds of requests from her punters. No matter how strange.

You want me to smoke for you, yeah?

You want me to go and get a little cigarette and smoke that for you?

Let me take you in here.

Hm...

She doesn't want to upset her girlfriend, so she takes the punter

into the bathroom to smoke.

That's, good...

Mmm...

Oh, that's great, you dirty fuck.

If anything, I could start seeing how sexy it can be,

cos when I am looking at the camera and I'm seeing the smoke,

I'm thinking, "You look quite hot," to be fair.

Oh, that's it, baby.

The life of a webcam girl can be a lonely one.

During the day, Sammie's girlfriend Mar is at college,

but the two of them manage to keep in regular contact.

-Sammie receives a call from Mar.

-Hey there.

And she's upset. People at college

have found out about Sammie's porn past.

I don't think that it is humiliating, babe.

MAR'S COMMENTS OVER PHONE INAUDIBLE

Babe, I'm not being funny, but they live with their mums,

like whoa re they to be saying anything?

What, they live with their parents and have a fucking nine to five job

and they think they can judge someone because they get their tits out?

Who's the bad one for looking? No, it is the point.

You say you're getting humiliated, what the fuck

are you humiliated about my past for? I ain't.

Babe, the fucking two-faced bitches,

you ain't going to have nothing to defend

cos they'll lick your arse to your face.

They'll fucking buzz off it

and ask for tips for their boyfriend in front of your face.

Don't get me vexed, Mar.

I am having a go. I am sick of you saying.

Why are you saying that you're humiliated?

Do you want me to show you what humiliation is?

(Fuck off.)

Seriously?!

Some people have said to her in uni about me,

"Do you want to see Mar's girlfriend's porn," and all this.

It's like, "Oh, for fuck's sake, what the hell is that?"

And I've just fucking gone off-cam, like, for that fucking bullshit.

Fucking bullshit, man. People are just so easy to...

I know people are watching this now, this documentary,

they're going to be fucking judging,

because someone gets their kit off for a living

and they're going to start judging. Do you know what?

It's either your husband that's watching us, and at the end

of the day, all these girls do is just make a living for themselves.

We're just normal girls, like...

Just cos we've done what we've done, it doesn't mean anything.

Like...

I can't be dealing with it, it's like I've had it all my life, like,

since I got into this industry when I was 18, like,

people don't have a clue.

They don't have an actual clue.

But there's no respite from the webcam.

Despite being in a bad mood, she has to continue with her shift.

COMPUTER CHIMES

But her next punter, a regular, cheers her up.

Oh, it's my little fetish boy.

He doesn't want to see anything.

He's a fetish type of guy, who wants to get beaten up.

Sammie does domination sessions where she abuses

and humiliates men at their request.

Can you hear me?

How about you tell me what you're good for,

so that I know what I'm going to use your pathetic little self for?

There's no sexual interaction whatsoever

because the only interaction with him is pain and humiliation.

That's the only interaction that they're going to get.

I don't take anything off.

You just see me sat here now like this.

If anything, he'd want to see my arse

and think about the thought of him being smothered by my arse.

You're a fucking mug, aren't you?

Be our little fucking slut whore.

Use you, like a little bitch, yeah?

I'll blackmail them and say,

"I'll tell your boss," or

"I'll tell your mum," or "I'll tell someone. I'll tell on you," like.

So they get off on that - the fact that you know their dirty secret

and that you could expose them to the whole world.

You aren't valued. You're a little bitch, deep down inside.

Not only do the punters get off on this,

Sammie particularly enjoys these sessions.

I like to do the dominatrix, fetish side of stuff,

cos I've formed, in a way, if this makes sense,

a sort of hatred for men, naturally.

When it comes to fetish and to domination,

that's when I really get my payback.

My hatred for men has grown through my job.

Even though I was blinded by money and misguided,

I was never actually saying, "Can I do this?

"Can I take that up there?

"Can I have that harder?"

It was never me. And I found that now I would never do that again,

I would never, ever, like, have sex for money on camera,

I'd never do any movies like that ever again,

but I would definitely...

I would definitely beat up a few guys for money.

Although Sammie no longer works in the porn industry, she still uses

her porn name Keisha for her webcam profile and even has some old DVDs.

There's a lot in her past that she regrets, but her life is changing

and her films are a constant reminder of how far she's come.

It's...

It's one of the last scenes that I did before I stopped doing it.

MOANING

Any of the porn I did, I didn't enjoy.

PANTING

Oh, the two masters are in now, the two "teachers".

When I hear myself, it just makes me cringe cos I know how fake it is.

It's making me a bit sick.

It's just cos I know I was doing it for the money,

do you know what I mean?

MOANING

I'm not watching this.

I know how much pain I was in, so I'm not watching it.

Sammie starred in over 100 hard-core adult moves as Keisha,

having sex with both men and women, but life after porn was tough

and at her lowest point she was sucked into the world of escorting.

Despite having made her last film three years ago, Sammie is

still dealing with her experiences of being in the adult industry.

I pushed myself to limits that I didn't even want to.

Slowly but surely I just lost it and I was just like,

"No, I'm not doing this any more."

I created Keisha cos I was like,

"Fuck the world, I'm going to do what I'm going to do,"

but then I became HER, and that was scary.

If you become your act, then you're going to hate yourself.

And when you turn into that,

you start to think that a bag defines you as a person. You think that you

have to be this pair of fake tits and you start to question boys and think,

"Are they with me because I'm this person or because I'm this person?"

And it's just not right, like, you don't need that, like...

You don't need it.

Erm...

you just don't need them things in your life.

You don't need to please anyone, your life's about being happy.

It's not about making other people happy, it's about making you happy.

Sometimes, with this job, there's things in the industry that

you're doing and they don't make you happy.

And you have bad people around you.

And that's why it's so imperative that you have good people around you

when you do this job.

Because people will fuck you up, man.

People will try and fuck you over

and they'll pretend that they like you

and they don't - they just want you for like fucking money.

It's horrible.

Sammie feels that the webcamming lets her have control -

something she didn't have with porn.

When you're being filmed for a scene, there's only

so much cutting you can do before the producer realises,

"I'm not going to work with this girl again."

So, you've then got to realise that you're trying to please that producer

and you're going to take some pain that you don't want to be taking.

That's why, with the cam, I love it because I literally can tell

someone to fuck off myself, if I don't want to speak to them.

COMPUTER CHIMES

Oh, God - great!

That's not good.

COMPUTER CHIMES

It's midday and webcam girl Olivia has just woken

up for a lunchtime session.

Your average guy will just be happy with stockings, suspenders

and a corset.

If not, we can easily remove it.

Start getting changed.

All the glamour shoots that Olivia does means a lot of travelling,

so she really enjoys the convenience of webcamming.

It's from home, so I don't have to go out my way to drive anywhere

and if...

..a client wants me to wear something else, then I've not forgot it -

everything's here.

I can do what I want. I'm free to roam around my house

and be a bit more adventurous with things really.

Put a little lipstick on for him.

They seem to like that.

Change position.

We get bored.

This guy's said he's with friends.

Like if they're getting me to try, like, get me to

do some crazy things - I've had people asking me to do handstands

and things like that before - so then it's just a bit like,

"OK, you're blatantly taking the piss."

Still, they're paying, so if they want to pay to watch me

do circus tricks, I'll quite happily do circus tricks.

Despite not going open-legged, Olivia's popularity has grown.

Apparently, he saw a photo of me in a paper that he likes

and he wants to send it in to sign.

I've got a little fanbase where he works.

Oh, he's asked how big are my boobs,

so that might be the next question - to get them out.

With her growing popularity, comes more

and more requests for Olivia to show more on cam.

If I do start going fully nude and showing everything,

then it probably...

I might as well go into porn and start making sex movies,

cos I'm sure if I started opening my legs and doing it for them,

they're going to ask to see toys being involved and stuff like that.

It's just a whole new level that you need to go into.

Olivia is sticking to her guns, but the temptation to go fully nude

and make more money may be hard to resist.

24-year-old webcam girl

and porn star Carla is hard at work waiting for the next customer.

Getting naked is something that always comes naturally to her.

I'm the type of girl to walk around the flat with no clothes on

and the lights on when it's dark outside.

I will cos I don't care.

I'm just like, at the end of the day, right,

I was born naked,

so therefore, it's my right to be naked in my own home.

If I want to walk around naked in my own home, I will. But on that note...

COMPUTER CHIMES

What makes you pick me today, then?

What are you hoping to see me do for you?

Do you want me to give you a little twirl?

Yeah.

What, sort of...?

You just sit and relax.

SHE GIGGLES

You like what you see?

SHE READS: "I would love to be in that room with you

"so you could see how hard my cock is."

Why don't you tell me how hard your cock is, mister?

Is it throbbing?

And is it big? How big is it?

"Eight inches"? Ohhh!

You'll be surprised how many people have eight inches.

"And dripping at the end"? Absolute filth bag!

I hope you have your fingers wrapped tight around that cock of yours.

Naughty, naughty boy.

And why don't you squeeze it as well?

CASH REGISTER RINGS

He's gone.

So, eight inches is usually the national average...

SHE GUFFAWS

..for men these days. It's shocking, that, isn't it?

Very rarely do they say anything less.

Sometimes seven, but eight seems to be the favourite number.

So, if you're one of those guys - I know.

Carla clocks off the webcam for the afternoon.

Being in the adult industry has made it tough for her to meet a man,

but she thinks she might have found someone.

It's a bit of a fiery relationship, but it's all right.

He's funny, though. We just have a laugh.

Carla met Rob, a 26-year-old tattooist, on Twitter,

and they hit it off.

They've just got together

and are in the honeymoon stage of their relationship.

When I'm sitting down watching a film,

you've got your boyfriend there, you know, I like to cuddle up.

No, doesn't happen. I don't get any, ever.

I'm not being funny, but in a relationship, do you not do that?

Yes.

I sleep next to you. Don't you think that's e-fucking-nough?

-Heartless, innit?

-It's not heartless.

-You get to put your leg on my leg.

-No, I don't.

I don't even go near you, because you're like, "Get off me. Get off."

No, I'm not like, "Get off." You are. Just do it when I'm asleep. I can't say nothing if I'm asleep.

No, I'm all right.

So, you don't mind about cuddling, then?

-You know what I mean?

-Lucky me(!)

# For ever we tried to make it right

# Together we saw the end in sight

# I'm tired of fighting the good fight... #

Are my hands cold? Are my hands cold?

I'm so hungry, I would eat your bumhole right now.

Although not a professional, Rob has done a few porn shoots.

But it's the first time that he's been out with a porn star.

It's annoying when you're out and people want to stop and like,

"Oh, yeah, sign this, sign that." It's annoying.

It's all right, though. I've got something people want.

People always want stuff what people want, don't they?

Do you know what I mean?

It's like a new car, I suppose. It's like one of those.

Everyone wants it. It's like, "Oh, that's nice, that's nice."

And I've got it.

-Whoaaa!

-# ..Together we saw the end in sight

# I'm tired of fighting the good fight... #

Carla seems to have found her man

and for now, the future looks bright.

# ..No, I never believed in their insight. #

It's a new day and another photoshoot

for busy webcam girl, Olivia.

She wants to be a top glamour model and is promoting herself via

a guest appearance on her friend Jenny's website.

-JENNY ON PHONE:

-'Hello?'

Hiya. Whereabouts am I coming? I'm completely lost in the building.

-'Walk up three floors.'

-Oh! Oh!

-'Is that you?'

-Yeah.

Olivia is also keen to run her own website.

And that's not the only thing she has in common with Jenny.

We have exactly the same boobs. They're identical.

Yours are probably browner than mine.

Like her webcamming, Olivia has strict rules for glamour modelling

and won't reveal all.

-Have you got any idea what sort of images you want?

-Not really.

Just some nice hot girl-girls, maybe touching each other's boobs.

Some nice bum shots.

-Yeah.

-Don't know, whatever we think's going to look hot, really.

Whatever works.

Shall we go for it, then?

Now look in the camera for us.

There you go then.

HE LAUGHS

You've got a sexy bum, miss!

High-five! Naked high-five!

Jenny's finished modelling for the day

and shoots some behind-the-scenes material for her website.

Work!

I can't do it standing up!

Olivia wants to achieve the same success as Jenny.

But there's a catch - Jenny bares all.

The money nowadays in the glamour industry's not great,

obviously, since the credit crunch. It is a tough industry.

It is a really tough industry. It's very competitive.

It's not glamorous like people think.

That's a wrap. Cool.

Well done, guys. Thanks.

For Olivia, there is still a temptation to earn more money

and go fully nude, but she's worried about where it might lead.

It would be so easy right now to walk into like porn or escorting

or some things like that,

and quite a few of the girls are like really, deeply, badly influenced

to go straight into that.

I know I've been like strong enough not to take anything like that on,

and I've been lucky enough

to be able to keep on doing what I do without that.

Olivia's paying a visit to her mum, Sandra, to discuss her career.

She's at the house where she grew up with her mum and stepdad

and where she first started webcamming.

Oh, thank you!

Sandra started her daughter's modelling career at a young age

and always had high hopes for her.

The first time I put you into that modelling competition,

when you was, I think, about seven or eight, oh, you hated it.

You forced me into a first catwalk and then it, like...

You stood there and there were so many people in the centre

and it was like, you was going, "I can't do it, I can't do it."

I was going, "You can, Olivia, you can. Go on, just walk down there."

It's all my fault, really. What have I created?

For Sandra, Olivia's work in the adult industry

is a far cry from the early modelling days.

I would like you to get out of the industry.

What would you want me to do?

I'd like you to do modelling in magazines.

Like a fashion model more?

Yeah, not glamour. No.

You know, obviously, about the webcamming.

I'd done it here, didn't I,

and you was like, "I don't want it going on in my house."

I didn't like it at all.

I think you probably did it when I didn't know about it.

I don't really know what you do on the webcam.

Don't really talk that much about it, do we?

I smoke on it.

Oh, Olivia!

I get couples.

What do couples want?

A make-believe threesome.

SHE LAUGHS

Or, like the guy just wants to like get turned on

by you talking to his wife, or whatever.

Or like, me telling him what to do to his wife.

Like the humiliation people, it's called humiliation,

like the more you can do to humiliate them, the better and then,

like, people like being dominated by like being hurt,

that kind of thing, like literally,

demanding them to do like the most painful of things.

-Yeah.

-I just can't believe that people pay for this.

I do worry about you, because I do worry that you're going to

get forced into something that you don't want to do.

I know you like money.

And you like nice things in life.

And I just worry that if somebody offers you the right money,

-that you would get into something.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

But I've already had, like, every offer under the sun.

You don't tell me that, so I don't really know.

Right, see you later. It was nice seeing you.

-Love you.

-Bye!

-Bye.

-Bye!

-Bye! See ya. Bye.

What she's going to show and keep private is going to continue

to be on Olivia's mind for the foreseeable future.

I think the only way that I would do something like that

is if I got like a really great photoshoot

that offered a lot, a lot of money.

If a guy wanted to tip me a few grand to do it,

I'd probably consider it as well,

but until, like, a lot of money was offered and it was like,

made me have a second think,

then I wouldn't just quite happily get it out like that.

It's Friday night in Brentwood

and while most 24-year-olds are gearing up for a big night,

Carla is at home alone.

She's recently broken up with her boyfriend Rob.

I was actually really upset at first, because I really liked him.

I stood in the shower crying, you know.

I'd watch a film, cry.

Cos everything would just remind me of him.

But then when I sat down and I thought about it,

and I was just like, I was just thinking over the whole thing

and now I'm like, "What was I doing?!"

Do you know? I'm such an idiot.

It's difficult for Carla,

because it's her first relationship since getting into webcamming.

I'm not going to lie, I feel used, yeah. I do feel used.

I just feel like this guy has walked into my life,

you know, and made me...

You know, got as far as getting in a relationship with me,

and then me getting all these feelings and stuff and then

he was just... It's not like he's just gone,

he's taken everything with it.

And she's under no illusions that meeting a man is tough

when you get naked for a living.

It does affect people I meet.

And I probably could have got in a relationship

with someone that I used to see in the past,

and it would have gone completely differently if I didn't do what I do

but...

that's what you get when you take your job, really.

I WILL meet the right guy one day.

Someone will be out there that's on my level.

Despite feeling down, Carla cracks on with the webcamming.

But to top it all, no-one is logging in to see her.

Absolutely dead.

It's not happening so far.

So boring!

With business so slow, there's no point waiting around,

and she shuts up shop for the night.

There's been no-one. No-one.

Not one to mope around, Carla decides she isn't going to wait

for the punters to come to her and takes matters into her own hands.

This is typically my personality coming out now.

I've said, "Get on my cam now, you boring sods."

Followed by my link,

and then I'm now going to tweet a picture but, like, a silly one...

..of myself, like...

..to show I'm pissed off.

And that's what I tweet.

And it works.

COMPUTER CHIMES There you go.

Right, take this off.

CHIMING CONTINUES

Can you hear me OK?

Oh, dear! You're hung-over?

How can you be hung-over still? It's ten to three!

Where did you go last night?

Carla may not have found the right guy yet,

so for now, a webcam man will have to do.

So you're an Essex boy then, yeah?

I'm an Essex girl.

So, did you not pull last night?

So you thought you would come on here and seduce me instead?

Someone's asked me before

if I could turn back the clocks, would I still do it?

The answer is, yes, I would

because it's just me.

I hope you're sat on your chair, or wherever you are,

and you're completely naked.

I'm not a shelf stacker or something like that, you know,

which my parents always used to think I was going to be.

They either thought I was going to be someone like that,

or on the dole for the rest of my life

and, yeah, it's in this industry, but I've done something with my life.

Are you going to come shoot your air down with me, mister?

CASH REGISTER CHIMES

Another happy punter,

and Carla rewards herself with her favourite hobby.

I think it's Xbox time.

Sammie and Mar have settled into their new flat together.

For Sammie, it's the first of a number of changes

she's making in her life as she tries to shake off her porn past.

I just want to leave all the negativity behind, you know?

I'll never forget my past

and I'm never going to be able to take away the fact that I am

Keisha, but I was Keisha, you know, so it's not like I'm hiding anything.

I would always admit to, yeah, that was me, but in the sense of it WAS.

It's not any more. That's not who I am.

Sammie still uses Keisha as her webcam profile,

but that's all about to change.

I'm just going to be changing my name today, sort of to my real name -

I'm going to change my modelling name to Sammie.

I just want to start afresh.

Now it's just time for Sammie to have some shine.

I've never believed in myself as much as I do now.

# Trapped in a prism

# In a prism of light

# Alone in the darkness

# In the reflective age... #

I'm going to change it now.

So, now it's going to get changed to Sammie.

# ..Entre le royaume

# Des vivants et des morts

# If this is heaven

# I don't know what it's for... #

That's it. Woo!

Good. I feel cleansed.

I'm feeling very positive about all this.

Very, very positive.

I think it's a good step for her, definitely.

I think it's better that she's gone to Sammie.

The next step for Sammie will be to leave webcamming behind her

and go to college.

But for now, it's keeping her busy.
