I am writing an article on camming for Wikipedia. As far as I know, there is no article with this exact title, though there are couple articles with similar material, namely Webcam model. I am unsure on whether or not I should create a new article or simply add to this existing one, but I am leaning toward creating a new one since the article focuses on the models themselves rather than the profession. However, I do think a case can be made for simply adding to that article since the topics will necessarily overlap a lot. Either way, I think I can contribute to this article with discussion on ethics and the logistics regarding camming. The article mentioned above focuses a lot on history, the industry, and laws surrounding camming. From my small amount of research, I can provide more information on perspective and reaction of various groups and individuals toward the ethics and morality of camming. I can also explain more on how cam models go about their business and how they generate revenue.
