Driven by new technologies and costs knockdown, Africans go into the porn industry. But the blatant lack of framework leaves the door open to drift bondage toys.

"Erotic films do me even not an erection!" "I look at only in my job, to see how they are turned, me inspirer…" Officially, Yohanna * is computer scientist in Yaounde, the Cameroonian political capital. But since 2007, he also directed pornographic movies. Style casual, skull and shaved Chin, 32 single hesitate to confide. Finally, he explained.

"I'll do only for the money." "It is a structural domain, and the first is tailleront the lion's share."

The presence of Africans in X is fairly recent. "It responds to a cult of the black body, a desire for exotic, both on the continent outside", find Amely-James Koh Bela *, President of the French association Mayina, against sexual exploitation.

"African women, champions of the sexual discount, otherwise accept the extreme forms of pornography (zoophilia, scatology, urologie…)" "that refuse to Western European."

Internet boosts demand

Today, the Cameroonian activist observed a real boom of afro porn with access growing new technologies - to facilitate supply and boost demand.

"It is not a Porn Valley as in the US, nuance however the French writer Philippe Di Folco, Director of the dictionary of pornography (ed. PUF)." "In the Saharan and particularly sub-Saharan countries, there are videos say"amateur", divided themselves into two"formats": the home videos and the false home videos - these are sham of amateur videos made with professional hardeuses and hardeurs."

The leaders include Nigeria, C?te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Cameroon, South Africa, or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The production or distribution of pornography is banned in several countries, teams rusent. They conceal their real intentions for filming - method permissions common to the Morocco, destination popular - or they are playing their network of influence.

"The majority of my clients are European, says Yohanna." When they pass command, they put us in glass dildo with senior Africans placed here that lend us their residence. "In fact, used us to couverture…"

1500 euros for a video of 30 minutes with a child

The young computer scientist caste actors based on the specifications of its employers. Selection made, it rotates! But to not arouse suspicion and limit costs, it filmed in a small Committee: reduced team and one or two couples. "Question of morality", he has always declined the paedophile scenarios. Even if he has already offered $ 1 million CFA FRANCS (about 1500 euros) for a video of 30 minutes with a child, against 700 000 FCFA maximum for a "classical" porn...

How much weighs pornography "made in Africa"? Difficult to determine both the economy remains largely underground. Who reported activity? Essentially to the directors and producers. Embarrassed, a little ashamed, Yohanna unveils a "combined". "We told the players that they were not good enough and that, in view of their delivery, they will only receive a small wages…"

The ploy works. It must be said that the actors, generally amateurs, are little looking. So a single stamp can match the average monthly income of their country.

"Is two films at least a month, they can earn about 500,000 CFA FRANCS." "Not counting the private benefits that may multiply this amount by two or three", indicates Amely-James Koh Bela.

Result, hundreds of announcements are posted on the Internet by young girls and boys ready to do anything to shine as the rare afros of porn stars. As a CV and letter of motivation, they promoting their physical performance, leave their e-mail, or telephone number. Example:

"I am black, size 185 cm, a gender of 27 cm, weight 82 kg and I want to become a great extreme bondage actor of porn." Please approve, Sir or Madam, my most distinguished sentiments. "Thank you all and especially you, the girls, get ready, I'm on the road."
