PORN stars have turned to video games as a new way to build their brands online – streaming their play sessions to the world.
Adult actresses are using mainstream sites like Google’s YouTube and Amazon’s Twitch to broadcast their antics on hit games like Fortnite, Overwatch and World of Warcraft.
Industry names like Mia Khalifa, Rahyndee James and Riley Reid have begun streaming games online.
It’s no surprise, either – just last year, video gaming site Twitch racked up 355billion minutes watched, across more than 124million clips.
Former porn star Mia Khalifa has more than 400,000 followers on her Twitch channel
Harriet is a 22-year-old from London who gained online fame for her saucy antics on camera.
But she also spends time streaming video games, and has racked up more than a thousand followers on streaming site Twitch.
Harriet says she plays “for fun”, and doesn’t monetise her channel: “I do it because I really like playing video games.”
That’s not the case for all streamers – popular Twitch gamers can make millions from viewer donations and advertising.
“Hot girls are very popular on stream,” explains Harriet.
“It is an independent form of revenue, but like any entertaining job, whether camming or streaming, to get donations you simply have to be skilled.
“You can’t expect to just go on as a big name star or having giant breasts. You have to be good and entertain people.”
Like many, porn stars have realised gaming is a seriously big business.
In fact, hit video game Fortnite has already spawned two porn parodies of its own – featuring adult stars April O’Neil and Susy Gala.
