Chat rooms come alive at midnight as young women, often schoolgirls, strip on camera and writhe erotically for as little at VND20,000.
There apparently exists an online sex “paradise” at midnight daily on internet chat rooms all around the country.
It involves young women, often schoolgirls, stripping on webcams and wriggling seductively for as long as someone is willing to pay.
The modus operandi is this: Through an online chatting account, enter a chat room at midnight, the so-called rush hour for peepshows.
Pick one from dozens of seductive nicknames that appear on the screen. There will be an immediate response from the chosen girl, who will ask if you would like to watch her on webcam.
If you agree, you have to top her mobile phone account. “For VND50,000 (US$2.4), you can watch me naked for half an hour,” a young woman Tuoi Tre made contact with said.
“And only for 10 minutes for a VND20,000 card.”
The show started immediately after she got the card number. The girl, beautiful and looking like a high-school student, quickly turned her webcam on, revealing an attractive body in tiny underwear, which she began stripping off within seconds.
After becoming completely naked, she started to wriggle and make seductive gestures in front of the webcam like a pornographic actress. The “show” ended exactly at the time she said it would.
Of course, some go further and, if negotiations go well, things end up in a hotel room.
Sex camera shows like this take place every night in chat rooms all over Vietnam, and participants are said to be mostly teenagers. Even male users can have their own cybersex with old single women or teengirls in need.
Why?
Cybersex may be normal in western culture but not in conservative Vietnam. Exposing one’s body in public and discussing sexual matters are generally taboo in Asia.
But why is cybersex becoming popular in this country?
Most of the girls involved in it claim that they do it just to satisfy their curiosity at first or to assert themselves.
Also, as teenagers, there is peer pressure which says cybersex is cool and those who do not do it are bumpkins.
“My friends [do it] every night,” says a school girl, aged 17.
“They laugh at me if I refuse to join them. If they can do it, why can’t I?”
Some say they do it for money. The money they get in their cell phone accounts can be converted into virtual currency for online games, which they can also convert into real money by selling game items.
Then there are those who bitterly say they have no choice since they need the money to pay their tuitions.
There are those who argue that cybersex does not cause much harm since there is no sex involved and is a bit like watching pornography.
However, there are some real dangers involved.
Although the women, especially schoolgirls, claim that no one can ever get them out for real sex, there is always the danger that there are predators out there who will manage to do just that.
