Some of the differences between a webcam model and a porn star lie in the fact that webcam models typically stream live and are not prerecorded and edited footages. Additionally, while porn stars are usually paid for the end product in the form of a contract, webcam models earn their money on a per minute basis. Also, webcam girls can typically work on their own without the need for a man to be present. They are free to do whatever they want, such as using certain sexual toys like dildos and vibrators.
