Nevada legalized the practice in some counties, for instance, while here in Louisville, Kentucky, 'a person is guilty of prostitution when he engages or agrees or offers to engage in sexual conduct with another person in return for a fee.' Regulation of prostitution in the US is left to the states, and definitions vary. Still, it might depend on where you live. CamSoda calls it virtual intercourse, but is that something it can legally sell? The difference is the direct, intimate connection with the viewer.

To be clear, explicit masturbation broadcasts are already one of the main draws on sites like CamSoda, and that's essentially what a VIRP session is. But is this sex?įew would challenge the legality of consenting adults baring all online, but VIRP may be headed for murky waters. 'This is really more to explore the technology to see what's going to work and what's not going to work,' he says. Parker says the company is in the 'super early adopter phase' and VIRP isn't intended to be a moneymaker yet. One-on-one chats pull models away from the public rooms where they can best build their fan bases, so many models also request that users commit to a minimum duration before agreeing to go private. As for the VIRP sessions themselves, pricing is up to the model, but CamSoda says pre-negotiated private chats typically cost at least a few dollars per minute.
