Colombia’s ‘camgirls’ slowly start to break taboos

A visit to an online erotic performance studio in Bogotá shows how women are making money for their families in a post-pandemic economy.

Twenty-year-old Wendy Lozano has painted the walls of her room red and black, which she says represent the colors of sadomasochism.

Lozano dropped her studies in literature to work as a webcammer, hoping to be able to help her family with household expenses.

“The first six months were very hard,” she says, explaining how she told everyone she knew that she was working as a babysitter. The first studio she worked at was illegal, and “they tried to sexually abuse me.”..
