You might be looking at it through rose tinted glasses. I assume a lot do it because it's good money in a recession.
I once spoke to a model on the jazmin site. A Russian, and even back in 2006 they where charging 1.50/m. She told me that she received 35p out of that. this of course is a lot of money to a Russian. However, when she was doing nothing with no calls she got jack and some sessions she got no calls and thus nothing. Because of this, she had to work in the day, so she was up a good bit of the night and then working in the day, poor girl didn't know if she was coming or goign, use to see her falling to sleep.
The people making the REAL money out of this, was the poeple who owned it and by all accounts these where very unpleasant men that you knew not to cross.
Luckily, she said she was goign for a job with the government, and I heard no more of her, I assume she got it and stop the job in one.

I don't see how pointing out how things work in the Eastern Europe (Especially Russia) is applicable over here at all.

RE: How do you think the babes view what they are doing?
I find it does make a bit of a difference. At the end of the day despite their motives for a job etc., they are still entering willingly into a sexual act, be it very one sided, and willing to say and act in ways to try to bring someone else to climax. For those who acknowledge it, there is still a degree of intimacy and sexuality in those kinds of acts.
And much like any job, there is always a sense of 'well I wouldn't be doing this on my day off', but even so, much like any job there is often a sense of 'well while I am here, I may as well get on well with whomever I work with, colleagues and customers, and enjoy ourselves while we are at it.' Not trying to assume too much connection there, but a bit of customer courtesy in a sexual act goes a long way.
I am intrigued whether there is anything much to say about the second example I threw out there, about the trends to use media for sexuality and whether the babechannels are a part of that. I would imagine some of the girls were familiar with things like camming, skyping, sexting etc. perhaps as part of their own personal developing sexuality before joining TV babechannels. It might seem quite natural to some. It also suggests this is part of a trend that is becoming very normalised, for good or bad I suppose.

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. That might be the case with Eastern Euros on cam sites but there's no way that's the case with the girls on the TV channels, especially on the big shows like Elite and Babestation. I heard a while back the girls get paid something like £500-1000 a night on some occasions, more for the more well known glamour girls. They make more in a night than many do in a month, so two or three nights a week and they're sorted. Plus, they presumably get paid to do all those photoshoots etc. for the websites, these girls certainly aren't struggling.
I should imagine many of these women are millionaires or close to it. If they earn a £1000 a night, do that for 3 nights,, that's £3000 a week, 52 weeks a year, that's £150,000 a year. If they save £100,000 a year after 10 years that's a million in the bank. That's not including as you say,the money they get from photoshoots from other mags or the ones that do pornography or are escorts or both.
