'''LiveJasmin''' (company name: JWS Americas S.à r.l.) is an adult ] that provides ] and related services, typically featuring nudity and sexual activity ranging from ] and ] to ] with ] and full sexual intercourse.
'''LiveJasmin''' is an online ] website that focuses on live cam streaming. The website was founded in 2001 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://whois.domaintools.com/livejasmin.com|title=LiveJasmin.com WHOIS, DNS, & Domain Info - DomainTools|work=]|date= |accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref> by ], a Hungarian e-commerce entrepreneur. After a relatively short gestation period, LiveJasmin started to rapidly grow and expand in 2003-4, quickly becoming one of the largest adult websites in the world <ref>{{cite web|title=Top Sites in: All Categories > Adult|url=http://www.alexa.com/topsites/category/Top/Adult |work=]|accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref>.


According to Alexa rankings, it is one of the most popular sex webcam sites in the world.<ref name="barna" /> LiveJasmin's infrastructure, developers and other staff are based in ] and, from 2013, ].<ref name="barna" />
Alexa, a company that monitors commercial web traffic, lists LiveJasmin.com as one of the most visited websites in the world <ref>{{cite web|title=Top Sites in: All Categories |url=http://www.alexa.com/topsites |work=]|accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref>, and as one of the most visited adult website on the internet <ref>{{cite web|title=Top Sites in: All Categories > Adult|url=http://www.alexa.com/topsites/category/Top/Adult |work=]|accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref>. This is also reflected by the number of members and models that can be found on the site; a model base of 400,000 models entertain around 35 million visitors each day!<ref>{{cite web|title=About us section |url=https://www.livejasmin.com/en/media |work=]|accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref>

On LiveJasmin, members can connect to the cam model of their choice and enjoy Private Chat sessions with them. There are also many other services and features on LiveJasmin, but cam model chats represent the bulk of the services rendered on the website (maybe citation of our other features).


==History== ==History==
LiveJasmin was founded in 2001 by ] in Hungary.<ref name="peter">{{cite news |last1=Peter |first1=Aradi |date=20 November 2021 |title=Gattyán György egy hatalmas álláshirdetésben jelentette be, hogy a modern kor Széchenyi Istvánja lenne |url=https://azonnali.hu/cikk/20211120_gattyan-nagy-bejelentest-tesz |access-date=2 April 2024 |work=azonnali.hu}}</ref><ref name="barna">{{cite news |last1=Barna |first1=Emilia |last2=Katona |first2=Noémi |title=LiveJasmin and the Hierarchies of the Global Sexcam Industry: Beyond the Digitalization and Empowerment Narrative |url=https://lefteast.org/livejasmin-and-the-hierarchies-of-the-global-sexcam-industry/ |access-date=2 April 2024 |work=Lefteast |date=29 March 2022}}</ref> LiveJasmin built its infrastructure and generated content in the beginning by financing studios who were mostly operating illegally in Hungary at that time.<ref name="barna" />
The website that would eventually grow into LiveJasmin was launched in 2001 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://whois.domaintools.com/livejasmin.com|title=LiveJasmin.com WHOIS, DNS, & Domain Info - DomainTools|work=]|date= |accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref>. At that time, it was simply known as Jasmin.hu, and was originally intended to be an internet-based reality show with an erotic overtone. György Gattyán, the founder, had the groundbreaking idea after reading an article about the growing popularity of reality TV shows in the USA.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gattyán György interview with Friderikusz|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqKHAgzoiQY |accessdate=10 October 2013}}</ref>.

2003 marked the first big boom of members on LiveJasmin, the number of visitors quickly growing from a few hundred to a few thousand.<ref>{{cite web|title=About us section |url=https://www.livejasmin.com/en/media |work=]|accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref> It was also in this year that György Gattyán decided to establish the company Jasmin Media Group, to serve as a holding company for all of the enterprises related to the website.

In 2004, the sheer number of new members warranted a complete revamping of the website. The design was changed to the now-famous red style that prevails even to this day.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}


In 2014, LiveJasmin started to advertise, producing a number of TV commercials. Two of their commercials were submitted to air during the 66th ] but were declined by ].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-08-22 |title=NBC Rejects Porn Site Jasmin.com's Emmy Awards Ad |url=https://observer.com/2014/08/nbc-rejects-porn-site-jasmin-coms-emmy-awards-ad/ |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=Observer |language=en-US}}</ref>
In order to accommodate the ever-growing number of members and models, LiveJasmin had to switch its streaming technology to something that could support a vast number of connections without diminishing the experience for either party. Thus, in 2006, the website’s technology changed to Adobe Flash, which was the biggest and most stable streaming technology at that time.].{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}


==Business model==
In 2012, American hip-hop artist ] released a tribute to the famous red website titled “Hey Jasmin”<ref>{{cite web|title=Hey Jasmin Flo Rida song|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULZbwEQiRHA |accessdate=23 May 2017}}</ref> and in 2014, LiveJasmin released a number of TV commercials.
Customers, webcam models and third parties such as studios register with the website.<ref name="barna" /> The payout percentage to the model ranges between 30% and 80% depending on the income of the model.<ref name="barna" /> Most models are from Romania, Ukraine, Russia, the Philippines, South Africa, and Colombia, while most customers are from the United States and Germany.<ref name="barna" /> In the Philippines, Eastern Europe, and Colombia, the models typically work for a studio that provides them with the necessary equipment and infrastructure and controls their work.<ref name="barna" /><ref name="matthews">{{cite journal |last1=Matthews |first1=Paul William |title=Piece-Rates as Inherently Exploitative: Adult/Asian Cam Models as Illustrative |journal=New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry |date=March 2015 |volume=7 |issue=2 |pages=56–73 |url=https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/newproposals/article/view/184775/185383 |access-date=2 April 2024}}</ref>


In countries where sex webcamming is illegal, such as ], the platform has studios and models assume legal risk.<ref name="barna" /><ref>{{cite news |title=Former Phuket resident gets life in jail |url=https://www.thephuketnews.com/former-phuket-resident-gets-life-in-jail-25009.php |access-date=2 April 2024 |work=Phuket News |date=13 May 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Caregari |first1=Luc |title=Luxemburger Porno-Firma: Die heiklen Geschäfte von Docler in Uganda |url=https://www.reporter.lu/luxemburger-porno-firma-heiklen-geschaefte-von-docler-in-uganda/ |access-date=2 April 2024 |work=Reporter.lu |date=1 August 2023 |language=de-DE}}</ref>
In 2014, TV commercials were released under the Jasmin.com brand. Two commercials were submitted and declined by ] to air during the 66th ], resulting in them circulating around the web as "banned commercials".{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}

LiveJasmin (company name: JWS Americas S.à r.l.) is an adult website that provides live streaming and related services, typically featuring nudity and sexual activity ranging from striptease and erotic talk to masturbation with sex toys and full sexual intercourse.

According to Alexa rankings, it is one of the most popular sex webcam sites in the world. LiveJasmin's infrastructure, developers and other staff are based in Hungary and, from 2013, Luxembourg.

History

LiveJasmin was founded in 2001 by György Gattyán in Hungary. LiveJasmin built its infrastructure and generated content in the beginning by financing studios who were mostly operating illegally in Hungary at that time.

In 2014, LiveJasmin started to advertise, producing a number of TV commercials. Two of their commercials were submitted to air during the 66th Primetime Emmys but were declined by CBS.

Business model

Customers, webcam models and third parties such as studios register with the website. The payout percentage to the model ranges between 30% and 80% depending on the income of the model. Most models are from Romania, Ukraine, Russia, the Philippines, South Africa, and Colombia, while most customers are from the United States and Germany. In the Philippines, Eastern Europe, and Colombia, the models typically work for a studio that provides them with the necessary equipment and infrastructure and controls their work.

In countries where sex webcamming is illegal, such as Uganda, the platform has studios and models assume legal risk.
