If you are familiar with studios and their crazy adverts across the internet (“Join us if you want to earn over 5000 dollars a month) then you probably know that very much of what they present themselves with is a lie or a scam.Â
Having worked for a studio, I couldn’t help but notice what a toxic environment it can be for a model, the legal irregularities, the unrealistic expectations and filthy conditions you have to work from and with.
For that reason, I decided to make a list about the things I found repulsive and absolutely disliked back when I worked for a studio. But, I am not drawing a line and saying all studios are like this. I am sure and have heard of studios where models are treated with respect and kindness, where the staff and the models are united like a family.Â
1. They overestimate their capacity of training you into becoming a top model.
Since when does a model’s success and earnings have anything to do with the training the studio supposedly provides them with? There is no such thing as a training program and if there is, it has absolutely zero to do with tips and techniques of making more money or attracting more members. In most cases, it is related to them showing you how to use basic equipment and google translate.Â
2. They expect you to work as a slave.
You are constantly being pressured to work more and harder, not in a positive or healthy manner but rather in a “Come on girl, grab yourself something to drink or snort some coke to have more energy and finish this 8 hours shift with good tips.” Yes, I am dead serious. This is what happens behind the closed doors of most studios.
    Â
3. They pretend to protect you and care about you when in reality they don’t give a shit.
They try so hard to convince you that they’ve got your back in any difficult situations but forget to mention that anyone from anywhere in the world can find you online with a free VPN and expose you to other websites and potentially dangerous individuals. Do you think they will actually do anything to stop or prevent that? No way.
4. You are and will be expected to have sex with the boss.
Although this is only a guess, I would say 9 out of 10 studios are run by males who think that just because they are in a position of power and just because it’s the sex industry, you owe them sex. This is by far one of the ugliest sides of this industry yet many choose to stay silent and never ever mention it.
5. They don’t care about your physical health.
Last but not least, the rooms I used to cam in when I was still at the studio looked like they haven’t been properly cleaned in a really long time. There were no rules as far as hygiene is concerned and truly nobody cared whether you’ve washed in the last week or not.
So, my dear friends, there is nothing fancy about working in a studio. If anything, its just a traumatic experience.
