Nude Photography is the creation of any photograph which contains an image of a nude or semi-nude person. Nude photography is undertaken for a variety of purposes, including educational uses, commercial applications and artistic creations. More often than not nude photography “nude photography” in the 21st century is used as a source or eroticism. This is nothing new. Erotic Photos have aged back since the invention of the first photograph. French Artist Louis Daguerre invented the Daguerreotype, known now as the photograph in 1839. By the spring of 1844 there was already a series on series of photographs taken of explicit content between naked subjects portraying sexual acts in different positions, foreplay, and within different sexualities. For some reason when we learn about the 19th century they leave all the “fun” parts of history out. Stuff like the booming French Pornographic industry which for its time had a wide variety that could still cater to most fetishes still alive today today. This notion is humanizing in a sense that even our ancestors were all just working their 9-5 day job, and trying to get off by the end of the night. Based on the written text books of history we are accustomed to think of the Victorians as a prudish and repressed breeds With that said the demand for pornography is still very alive today. According to the Public Domain Review, “Say you visited in the 1890s: staring down at you would be a range of titillating titles of erotic series like The Power of Mesmerism: A Highly Erotic Narrative (1891), The Seducing Cardinal (1830), and The Lustful Turk (1864). The latter has a lascivious frontispiece showing two naked women with birches ready to lash a pair of bare buttocks.” Try typing that in your PornHub search engine.

Vargas: How did you reach the decision that you were going to start selling nudes online? Was it a hard or easy decision?

Webb: It was half and half because, it’s obviously scary putting yourself out there like that but, I love money and it’s such a easy source of money.

Vargas: I see, it’s that little push of just being willing to be completely open on the internet. I think with so many people being so transparent emotionally and sexually on the internet I can see it easier and easier for girls to not be so scared. That’s so awesome. How would you describe your experiences with your clients?

Webb: Yes! Exactly! It’s not bad, I smoke a lot though so sometimes when I get really high I get paranoid and delete all the conversations with my clients but, for the most part people are really nice and come back again.

Vargas: Have you ever felt uncomfortable or for the most part do you always feel comfortable?

Webb: Hmmm that just goes with how my day is and you know everyone is different. I have anxiety for example so sometimes I freak out that people are hitting me up but again in the end I love money and I think I’m cute, haha so I don't mind.

Vargas: Does your romantic relationship ever suffer because you are a sex worker?

Webb: Honestly I tried to do this with my last boyfriend but that just goes along the lines of knowing when you can and can't let people be in control of your body. In my current relationship I’m free to do as a I please but if I weren't I’d probably still do as I please.

Vargas: Exactly! Your body, your choice! Your money! Wow thank you so much Chyna

Webb: No thank you hehe
