Colombia ranks second in number of sexcam models. According to existing information published by certain Colombian journalistic media such as the ‘Portafolio’ newspaper, there was a 400% growth of female sexcam models connected on the internet, between 2012 and 2015, in such a way that “in 2015, a page website in the USA had 1,200models of which 300 were Colombian. Now, there are 5,000 models and 1,200 are from the country.” Figures that contrast with the low importance given to this profession in Colombia and, perhaps, on the continent.
