People have been using the Internet to fill those needs since its beginning, now it is giving them a way to make money,' Yagielowicz said. There are lots of voyeurs and lots of exhibitionists out there.

They're just trying to earn a few hundred bucks a month. They're actual folks that are trying to make a supplemental income. 'These people are not porn stars in the traditional sense. While plenty of amateur pornographers or exhibitionists have posted their work online for free, some do-it-yourself pornographers are now posting videos to a new section of the video-sharing site - and making money on it.

I'd say I'm nice looking, sure, but otherwise I'm pretty average.'ĭespite not being a porn star, Antoinette's films are explicit displays of hardcore intercourse that if released in cinemas would earn a 'XXX' billing. I don't want to be a porn star,' she said. For what she describes as about 20 minutes worth of 'work' she makes $500 to $600 a month. She describes herself as 'a pretty normal woman.'īut twice a month she sets up a camera, takes off her clothes and with her boyfriend makes amateur pornography movies under the name Sexy Secret.
