How webcam sex nearly saved the world - Different thought about Live webcam sex
What the hell? Isn't total access the point of lifecasting? It was central to earlier broadcasters like 90s camgirl Jennicam and the residents of We Live In Public's webcam-fitted warehouse. And sex tied into the philosophy behind The Real House.The Real House, like other "Big Brother"-style live-to-web homes, offered more exhibitionism than allowed on network TV. But unlike most, the display of intimacy seemed not exploitative but invitational. For example, the Real House launched a monthly project called "Globalgasm," in which house members led Internet users around the world in an attempted simultaneous orgasm.
Real House member John "Halcyon" Styn said Globalgasm was inspired by a scene in the original Star Wars. Jedi master Obi-wan Kenobi feels the pain of an entire planet dying at once. Could one create such a force in a positive way? Viewers were invited to tune in and cum with the household.
And thus the Real House cast off the usually prurient feel, already diluted by the honesty and non-titillation of Jennicam's on-camera lovemaking, of live-to-web sex. The Real House lovefest wasn't a free porno show; it was a chance to share one of humanity's most universal pleasures. The peep show became an orgy.

Why I think this was a really interesting question, that lately I was interviewed by an anthropologist who was makeing a research on sexual behavior of humans living in urban areas. The reasearch had quite a lot of different areas like sex in the 17th till sex in the 21th century. Also mastubation from the history, famous masturbations (he showed me quite funny things about this one, in many old books and quite serious writings were even talking about it in a very sophisticated way) and of course masturbation from nowdays, all describing other beeings masturbations (mostly on mammals you can all find uses of masturbation). Live sex or on other names also called adult chat, live webcamsex, livesex, sexcam, sexchat etc. is a quite new way of masturbation, and sex, as this research was trying to compare realted fields from biology, technical levels, society levels, history and literature. For main fields as the representation of live sex he choose one of mine profiles, at Jasmine and also my own chat page the Idependent, and many other blogs like Live Sex Arena, or even some others from Myspace. All together the research was comparing so many differetn fields of life, and it was so interesting that it really inspired me to start reading more about it, and also to start developing some articles in my head. So this will be the beginning, I will start collecting some more articles for haveing a base in this topic for a later use of them in a series of writings. Thank you for watching this article, and please dont hesitte to share other interesting things with me, in the topic,

dimkastar, thanks for posting this, but we need some kind of context here. Not everyone knows about Justin TV and similar projects... I'm concerned that your profile will scare folks away from what is a legit news item.
