In place of professional studios with big budgets came amateur aesthetics, when the rollers are removed in the bedrooms of houses; replace expensive subscription services - like the recently strimingovye sites blocked in Russia Pornhub and chats where people work for the tip. Threshold entry in the sex industry parading fell sharply - and against the backdrop of the economic crisis in Russia trade intimate content is often an important additional source of income.

At the request of the heroes of the material of their names have been changed.
Ilya 34 years. He lives in a small town in the Sverdlovsk region, works as a programmer, loves the movie "What Dreams May Come", it is usually looks - and as a part-time job takes homemade porn.
It all began two and a half years ago. It was wrong in the family - his wife quarrel escalated into a divorce - and at work: the crisis began in the country, and money Ilya fewer. Change jobs or find a second he did not want.
"I do not accept that I commanded. Indicates when to work and when to rest. It prosiranie life, I wanted to be your own boss ", - says Ilya.
Once the programmer came to the ads on the Internet with proposals to remove pornographic videos under the order of a particular user.
"Free now on the Internet in bulk, but find exactly what you want does not always work, - says Ilya. - For that people are willing to pay money. "
The idea seemed interesting Elijah - and he decided to try to do it myself. He bought a camera, tripod and other equipment, laid in 40 thousand rubles, and began looking for a partner for the shooting. His wife, meanwhile, returned to him, but it is in his plans, he decided not to devote "She knows that I do business, and how it is - this is not the case of the female mind."
Girls looking for Ilya in social networks and using dating services, sending mass emails to all those who loved him. The vast majority refuses. "Find a girl - a titanic work. Some people are afraid of the face to shine, others think they are almost the Madonna, and wring price tag "- Ilya resents. However, the four actresses he ultimately still found: the programmer has agreed to an old friend and the three women with whom he had met through the application "of others around." Their Ilya describes as "just ordinary girls, who, without complexes and who need money."
He does tend to attribute their success to economic reasons: "I can only thank our native homeland to say that the girls are ready for a penny Online ***** [genitals] to show, as another way to survive is not easy."
Now Elijah takes about ten pornorolikov month. More often - in rented apartments on the propiska customer scenario. The scenarios are different: someone wants to advance the girl said prescribed replica; someone - that she was dressed in a certain way and pronounced customer's name. "Copro (coprophilia - sexual attraction to feces -. Comment" Medusa ") was too. They took off, of course, but it was so-so, - says Ilya. - Another of the surprising - the customer wanted, the girl allegedly ate a toy and the camera showed, though she in her stomach. "
The economy here is the most important thing to him again: "If a person pays, then let it be that the orders, but the one who wants a freebie - a real pervert."
Ilya says that the main thing in porn for him - it's money. However, he likes to be the director, and actor. "I've heard that other prick something, but we have all the easier - he responds to a question about whether he needed to shoot stimulants. - Remove the rollers are usually short, and not so often. Generally, when removed, only one thought - would rather it was all over. Think not about pleasure, and about how it is better to remove. Sex and shooting - are two completely different things. This is a job - not the easiest, but I like it. " On his attitude towards life and women porn, according to Elias, it had no effect - he says, "is resistant to stress."
In one clip Ilya receives from the customer from 50 to 200 dollars. The same video he sells to US and European sites (their addresses, he refused to name). Wife of his new business, he has not told.
Real life
Technological change has always been severely beaten by the global porn industry. In the late 1970s, almost a Hollywood swing movies for cinemas arty replaced the expensive production, which was enough for the videotapes.
With the proliferation of the Internet to replace the large forms came small, and the DVD home delivery replaced first sites with paid subscriptions, and then strimingovye services, operating on the principles of YouTube: there are videos to fill the users themselves; many of them are produced by non-professionals - and many that are available free of charge against the wishes of copyright holders.
Most notable among these sites - recently blocked in Russia Pornhub.
Porn has become more personalized. Pornhub knows that Americans love rolls with masseuses, and the Russians - pornoparodiyu Cartoon «My Little Pony»; service is also able to advise users of the video that should please them.
Message boards and specialized sites offer videos to order manufacturers according to their own scenarios; model erotic video chat ready to play these scenarios in a live for a small fee.
As pointed out in his new book, "What everyone should know about the porn industry" American gender researcher Xghajra Terrant (review of a book recently published The New Yorker magazine), technological changes inevitably affect the content: porn has become more stringent; actors and actresses will begin to develop extreme forms of sex.Personalize industry now is not a star like Jenna Jameson or Sasha Grey, a successful startups: Pornhub and several other similar popular websites (YouPorn, RedTube and so on) has one and the same company Mindgeek, whose leaders, in contrast to the founder of the magazine Hustler, Larry Flint, in many ways personified the industry in the 1980s, is not too fond of publicity.
In response to the query "Medusa" interview Pornhub representative of department of communications Chris Jackson asked to send questions by e-mail; out to answer them, it took him more than a week - and the answers themselves resembled the style of press releases of the Investigative Committee of Russia ( "We do not have information on how many countries the site is blocked at the moment").
One of the main trends in modern porn - amateur style. The point here is partly in the changing economy of the industry: to earn big money is now harder to replace long-term contracts with actors and directors are increasingly comes to pay per day or shooting for a scene; respectively, and cheaper means of production.
"10-12 years ago, it was enough to burn a DVD with naked people - and money flowed freely, - told Buzzfeed experienced porn actress, who wished not to be named. - And now the actors do not understand what is happening: it turns out, it's really working. "
As a result, the aesthetics inherent nonprofessionals - cheap image, shaking the camera, shooting in the first person - is now being copied by many studios. It was at this reception are under construction projects like «Fake Taxi» - a popular series of movies with the same plot: a taxi driver in the car hung with cameras brings up a beautiful girl, which then have to pay in kind; involved in the shooting with professional porn actress who pretend random fellow traveler. Similarly, the works and one of the most active contemporary Russian studios WTFPass (on the "Medusa" a request for an interview did not respond) - they have stories in which young people are introduced to the girls on the streets and then have sex with them, or rollers, in which allegedly on amateur camera shot student orgy in private apartments.
Professionals in this case largely respond to the demand. According to Pornhub, the number of requests «real public sex» immediately increased to 583% in 2015.
"The most common explanation for the popularity of amateur content - a sense of reality and authenticity of what is happening on the screen, - explains the" Medusa "Susanna Paasonen, a professor of the University of Turku in Finland, studies the porn for over ten years. - It is important to the feeling that it is not passed or is written in a script that people do everything as they like.
And in front of the camera body are more real than in the commercial porn. Professional video from the US regularly accused of it boring, unreal, "plastic", and amateur content gives the documentary, which has always been very important for porn. " With it, the representatives agree Pornhub. "Audiences are drawn to the amateur porn, because it's more like real life", - reported the press service of the site.
The fact that amateur porn slowly beginning to win a professional and in Russia, have their own reasons. As told to "Medusa" Juliana Grandi, a former porn actress, who is currently working in Budapest director of a large erotic modeling agency Julmodels, in the last four years, many professionals have simply left the country - after the penalty for distributing pornography tightened.
"Such concepts as the major Russian studios, now, we can say there is no - says Grundy. - The entire Russian industry is a thing of the underground. There are some underground studio, a lot of them, but more often they take a very cheap and not very high-quality content in some rented apartments to obscure the sofas. "
However, there is another, the most banal reason for the popularity of home porn. It really is increasingly removed from the home are people for whom this is an additional income - or simply love.
Love for art's sake
In social networks, and on specialized sites, you can find hundreds of Russians, who are trying to sell their homemade porn. Sell them all sorts of people - from students, removing the rollers in the first person, and the blonde model looks to minors, elderly couples and pregnant women.
Candid photos are from 10 rubles apiece, a short video - from a few hundred. In most ads indicated that their authors are happy to remove the video on the scenario of the customer.
Among private customers, according to vendors, the majority are men. Often - family people, who can not admit to their wives in their fantasies; for example, about having sex with another man.
Buy content made by amateurs, not only private clients but also specialized sites. At one of these resources for the video with a girl masturbating promise from 1000 to 1500 rubles, the guy doing the same thing - from 300 to 1000 rubles. Fifteen to twenty minutes of sex are home to 3,500 rubles, group sex involving three people - five thousand, four - to seven.
Prices depend on the appearance of actors, their skills and the quality of the image.Resellers then, in turn, sell or video to other customers, or poured on their own websites, which are earning through advertising or subscriptions. Thus, for example, runs one of the largest sites with amateur porn - Clips4Sale.
Most agreed to talk with the "Medusa" sellers home video porn consider part-time job, and recognize that earn a little video. On average - about 10-20 thousand rubles a month.Muscovite Vladimir income was more fortunate; however, pornography for him - this is primarily a favorite hobby.
Vladimir says that he began to watch porn in 10 years, 14 - wanted to appear, and after a further three years, finally realized his dream.
"The girl was 25 years old, for me it was simply the goddess of beauty, sexuality, tenderness and warmth - the man says. - We had a terrific sex. We took three different commercials at one time. It was very nice, just space. "
Vladimir describes itself as "a handsome young man with a good figure and wonderful settings." Now he is 29 years old, he is married and has two higher educations (psychological and pedagogical) and work "in the field of public administration," but he is still looking for partners on the websites with relevant ads and acted in amateur porn, noting that it quality in Russia is growing every year.
"The subject of sex in our country, unfortunately, is still somewhat taboo and dirty so all these years I have to be removed, without showing the face, - explains Vladimir. - But I'm not really worried about it, because I think sex with one of the most beautiful natural mechanisms.
For me, this kind of art. " And quite traditional: the man says he can only be removed in porn, where there is "a beautiful, high-quality and natural sex".
In a month it usually takes approximately 15 amateur videos and get paid for it about a thousand dollars. According to Vladimir, the video with his participation are mainly sold abroad, where "Russian porn" is in steady demand.
"Apparently, because we have a beautiful people" - suggests a Muscovite. We researcher Paasonen another opinion: it is believed that foreign popularity of Russian porn due to its more "tough and dirty" reputation.
"It happened genetically, women from Russia and Ukraine often look better than women from other countries," - objects Juliana Grandi. However, she points out, Europeans are much more professional for the shooting: "Our thought that came to the studio, spread her legs - and all. And in fact, this is a very big production. "
Agents that hire Russian girls for pornosemok in Prague and Budapest, confirmed the "Medusa", the demand for local staff abroad and really big. According to them, three weeks in Europe, a girl from Russia can earn 7-10 thousand euros.
"They work for a maximum of three weeks. Then they fly away, and once again take on the work of their already rare. Always need new in large numbers, "- said one of the agents.
However, Vladimir, all these great offers absolutely not interested. "I have too many other interests, even if porn is as a very pleasant, but a hobby - said the man" Medusa. " - Over the years, it helps to keep yourself in good physical shape.
In addition, due to the filming I began to appreciate and respect people. Especially girls and women. Positively changed myself, accept yourself as what is. "
(Destigmatization pornography and attempt to understand it as a manifestation of positive sex thinking, removes the taboo on practices that are not part of the traditional concept of the norm, - the important aspects of the modern debate about the porn industry, which sets out in his book and the American gender researcher Xghajra Terrant.) According to Vladimir, his wife fascination understands and does not mind.
Live
Interviewed by "Medusa" home porn actors admit that in Russia today is much more popular erotic video chats. Watch them may be one or more spectators, and the models themselves at the request of the public, which pays for every minute broadcast and leaves a tip, undress, masturbation, engaged in virtual sex, used for its intended purpose of sex toys and as much as embody the users imagination.
I originated this genre in the mid-1990s, and began to spread in Russia in the early 2000s.Worked at a time models tell us that if the video was broadcast in low resolution, the spectators were ready to pay well for the most banal things, and the rules themselves websites that host chat rooms, were less stringent.
"Now everything is different. Everywhere the HD, the competition rolls over, pay less - and arrogant people who just hardcore Give ", - says the model, which goes on the Internet ether for more than ten years.
The increase in supply is, of course, does not interfere. The administration of one of the largest Russian-language sites with video chat "Runetki.com" "Medusa" was told that now they have registered more than 40 thousand models - and their number is constantly increasing.
Of course, "Runetok" a lot of competitors; no one bothers to Russians work on English sites like MyFreeCams.
Judging by the discussions on specialized sites, vebkamom in Russia are engaged in completely different people. Married and single. Residents of one million and provincials.Failed actress and teacher, who are fed up small salary. Seniors and young rockers. Fall them in different ways in the business.
48-year-old Victor, working database administrator, for more than ten years, is married to Julia, which under him for two years. In 2010, they wanted something new in family life - as a result they have registered in the videochat and began to have sex on camera.
People who watched the broadcast, wrote in a chat that they want to see in the performance of a pair, and leave a tip when Victor Julia fulfill their desires. All were happy, but then Victor, an avid hunter, fisherman and "walrus", unsuccessfully dived during one of their traditional morning heats.
He began with health problems, and a pair of abandoned sensuality. But not for long: in late 2014 the ruble collapsed and Victor and Julia went back to chat, payment of which occurred in dollars.
"We translate the video from home in your spare time, - says Victor. - Work as work. With its traditions, kooky, pluses and minuses. If you would not like it, would not be involved.Here is his own man and director. No principality, no brain can not tolerate if something does not like it - just do not do. "
Key customers groups - people over 40 years in Europe and the United States. Most of them are fairly standard sex, but there are exceptions. "There was a guy from the Netherlands - Victor recalls. - He wanted sex in a fur coat, fur considered in macro mode. I paid well.
There was also a story when I was due to video chat was in the police. I walk down the street, and I inhibits some idiot hefty. Go did not give, he suggested plunk, claimed to know me, and I saw him for the first time. In general, I hit him in the knee, like the head, but did not. We have the police found that he was looking at the website we have. "
In a month the pair earns 250-300 dollars, spending broadcast within one to three hours in the evening. "I continue to work, my wife too.
This is our third salary. Throw most of the work is not going, we need a pension, "- Victor said, adding that their relationship with the wife of such a part is not spoiled.
For many colleagues, Victor and Julia just chats are the main work. Some of them work in specific professional studios - they recruit girls to work with slogans like "webcam model - it sounds good" and promise in the future shooting in glossy magazines or advantageous marriage.
Studios train models, help to communicate with customers and keep a percentage of their earnings.
Other models work at home - just not for two hours a day and eight to twelve. According to information on specialized forums, with diligence, skill and luck income can be up to several thousand dollars a month.
Anastasia - one such model. She was 24 years old, a child she dreamed of becoming an artist, and then graduated from the economic, but the work of the profession is not found.First settled as a waitress, then - as a sales manager, changed a few jobs, but there is not long delayed.
Withdrawing again, she was on the advice of friends tried to do vebkamom. Since then, it took half a year - and almost every day Anastasia spends 8-10 hours in an erotic video chat. Broadcast it leads directly from their rented one-room apartments in Khrushchev, where one lives.
As has told Anastasia "Medusa" customers it has are very different - from the twenties to the men who are over 60. "[The reason that people are turning to the webcam-models] it or loneliness, or they need something special, - the girl says. - Most want striptease, toys, something like that. Generally, each client is stored, but in different ways. Of the most-most - my customer from France, with whom we are on his birthday and a half hours on webcam just drank champagne. There are, of course, and fetishists. Those who have a foot-fetish (sexual attraction to the legs -. Comment "Medusa"), I seem to be freaks. Men often come in dresses. This, it turns out, many people love. "
On professional forums webcam models regularly discuss erotic whims of their clients.Balloons and vacuum cleaners, dirty shoes and women's clothes, plush toys and giant, carnivorous plants, insults because of the smaller members - everyone really their troubles.
At the same time quite radical requests on most sites is prohibited - and many models of writing that often refuse to customers, unless they want to carry out their inquiries (eg related to rape or incest).
Anastasia said she was tired of his new profession - and in spite of the stable income of about 100 thousand rubles a month, after two years plans to retire webcam models.
"It's hard work - sigh woman. - In addition to earning nothing I do not like. But until you save up for an apartment, not leaving. "
Criminal Code
In addition to customer and earnings webcam models and authors homeporn discuss three topics: the anonymity of the Internet; people who are trying to fight it, establishing their names and accounts in social networks using appropriate technology - and potential criminal liability.
Activities of amateur actors, and some models actually theoretically fall under Article 242 of the Criminal Code, providing for penalties for illicit manufacturing and trafficking of pornographic materials or objects.
As explained by the "Medusa" lawyer Alexei Mikhalchik, "technically no problem in bringing to justice there, but to prove it in court - that's another story."
In practice, in particular Russian citizens not so often accused of distributing or producing pornography. According to the judicial file cabinets, all in Russia in 2016 the courts issued about three hundred decisions on 242 th article, but the vast majority of them (285) refers to the blocking of websites where you can find pornokontent.
Several others received suspended sentences for "serious crime against public health and public morals" - they added to their porn video in "VKontakte".
This data made this year sentences directors, models and actors involved in the production of pornography, can not be found "Medusa." Programmer Ilya, moonlighting pornosemkami, confirms as prostitution, the government is looking at the situation through his fingers. "But you still need to be careful - adds a man. - On my amateur level is no "roof" and others do not, but I understand that then without it anywhere, because everyone wants to eat. You will not share, you will not and operate. "
Another potential charge against sex workers - tax evasion. Judging by the forums, most of the models and artists believe that law enforcement officers are unlikely to be interested in their little jobs, but some still decorate themselves as individual entrepreneurs, pointing to the documents the most intimate sphere of activity (for example, "the provision of other personal services").
There are, however, and those who fundamentally does not want to share with the Russian state-earned money own body - for ideological reasons. "As for us, models, many of us are already sitting on their suitcases and getting ready to emigrate. Better a horrible end than horror without end, - he said "Medusa" is one of the most experienced webcam models. - Natives of the KGB usurped power in the country, restrict freedom and social mobility OFF button.
We need a new restructuring. Engage in an arms race, we will definitely lose. Hope disappeared, no strategy, but to wait for a hypothetical oil price growth, the ruling elite is not. "
A similar view is shared by the authorities on Ilya. "Hope is necessary only on itself, is no longer on anyone - says the man who is planning to fly to increase your speed to pornography, which will allow him to resign from the basic work. - We do not need their homeland. "
