Girls strip naked on webcams for monthly cash

“Show you naked body and get money!” is one of the invitations from chat rooms managers to girls via Internet chat tools. Those girls who agree to show their bodies will be paid US$200 or more per month.
The above invitation was sent to me [a Tuoi Tre reporter] a recent night by a man called himself as Pham Hung with his nick “luatsuvui” on Paltalk.
“Your duty every night, from 0 – 4 a.m. is to show your naked body and perform a number of erotic gestures and movements via a webcam to serve Paltalk chatters. You will get an initial salary of US$200 that I will transfer to you from the US.”
Hung said, “It is just a starting salary. I can pay up to $1,000 to any girl with best performance.”
He asked your correspondent to turn on her webcam for him to see her face, “I want to find whether your face is nice or not,” he said via Paltalk.
He then asked me to join Hot Top Girlz, which Hung said was under his management and where I saw sexy performances of many young girls via their webcams.
One girl, who was encouraged by a MC, gradually removed all of her clothes, exposing all her nude body.
On this chat room that night, I found three other girls going naked. Their nicks were “haugiangmat…”:, “anhgattinh…” and “hantrai…”.
Chatting with “haugiangmat…”, I got an appointment with her the following day, when she told me she was 23 and her name was Vy Thuy.
Thuy said Hung paid her US$100 through a young man with nick “Holey…” as soon as she “worked” for him. Hung promised to pay her $200-300 provided that Thuy could make more erotic performances.
But after fully paying Thuy $100 each month in the first 2 months, he said he was cash drained and paid her only $50 per month.
“To date, he owed my nearly $300,” Thuy said.

Come to hotel room for “training”
On another night, I chatted with nick “Holey”, who called himself Nam Khoi, 27, of Dong Nai province.
He said he was the boss of the Hot Top Girlz and wanted to recruit many dancers for his chat room. “Do you agree to go naked via a webcam?” he asked me.
Khoi later called me from number 0985474…, asking me for an appointment. He said, “If you agree, we will meet in a hotel, where I can offer you some training necessary for your future job.”
Khoi also said he was a broker for a man in the US, who paid Khoi $50-100 for a girl Khoi could introduce and was accepted by him.
Meanwhile, Tan, a manager of a room on Paltalk, said, “The more guests join the room, the more money the room’s manager will be paid from the boss. To lure guests, room managers and sexy girls have to coordinate with each other.”
He said the remuneration for a room manager on Paltalk ranges from US$300-500, depending on how many guests he can attract per month.
Thu Nga, 22, wich nick “thunga…” is one of the girl going naked on Paltalk. Meeting me at a café, Nga said she came to Ho Chi Minh City from the southern province of Kien Giang.
At first, she wanted to seek a job as a worker at an industrial park, but she later was encouraged by her friends to join Paltalk and later became a nude girl there.
When Nga began joining the room, a man called himself the room boss asked her to come with him to a hotel room so that he could meet her and “train” her in how to become a hot girl.
After spending a week with him, Nga knew she was deceived by the man.
Ngan, just joining another room, said she divorced her husband when she was 19. She has a 4-year-old boy, but she has not been given the right to take care of him due to her poor financial conditions.”
“I wanted to earn tens of millions of dong and then take my son back for care…,” Nga sadly told me.
Strip to be ‘cool"?
Earlier, it was reported that chat rooms come alive at midnight as young women, often schoolgirls, strip on camera and writhe erotically for as little at VND20,000 per show.
There apparently exists an online sex “paradise” at midnight daily on internet chat rooms all around the country. It involves young women, often schoolgirls, stripping on webcams and wriggling seductively for as long as someone is willing to pay.
The modus operandi is this: Through an online chatting account, enter a chat room at midnight, the so-called rush hour for peepshows.
Pick one from dozens of seductive nicknames that appear on the screen. There will be an immediate response from the chosen girl, who will ask if you would like to watch her on webcam.
If you agree, you have to top her mobile phone account. “For VND50,000 (US$2.4), you can watch me naked for half an hour,” a young woman Tuoi Tre made contact with said.
“And only for 10 minutes for a VND20,000 card.”
The show started immediately after she got the card number. The girl, beautiful and looking like a high-school student, quickly turned her webcam on, revealing an attractive body in tiny underwear, which she began stripping off within seconds.
After becoming completely naked, she started to wriggle and make seductive gestures in front of the webcam like a pornographic actress. The “show” ended exactly at the time she said it would.
Of course, some go further and, if negotiations go well, things end up in a hotel room.
Sex camera shows like this take place every night in chat rooms all over Vietnam, and participants are said to be mostly teenagers. Even male users can have their own cybersex with old single women or teengirls in need.

Why?
Cybersex may be normal in western culture but not in conservative Vietnam. Exposing one’s body in public and discussing sexual matters are generally taboo in Asia.
But why is cybersex becoming popular in this country?
Most of the girls involved in it claim that they do it just to satisfy their curiosity at first or to assert themselves.
Also, as teenagers, there is peer pressure which says cybersex is cool and those who do not do it are bumpkins.
“My friends [do it] every night,” says a school girl, aged 17.
“They laugh at me if I refuse to join them. If they can do it, why can’t I?”
Some say they do it for money. The money they get in their cell phone accounts can be converted into virtual currency for online games, which they can also convert into real money by selling game items.
Then there are those who bitterly say they have no choice since they need the money to pay their tuitions.
There are those who argue that cybersex does not cause much harm since there is no sex involved and is a bit like watching pornography.
However, there are some real dangers involved.
Although the women, especially schoolgirls, claim that no one can ever get them out for real sex, there is always the danger that there are predators out there who will manage to just that.
According to Tuoi Tre's investigation, Ho Chi Minh City now has more than 10 rings that hunt for young girls with low educational levels coming from rural areas to the city to seek jobs.

These rings, based in several districts, including Districts 1, 5 and 11, often try to approach girls at internet shops and then to lure them to join their rings to become erotic girls who will get paid for their sexy performances via webcams.
