The Atom Araullo Specials: 'Sexpectation vs Reality,' ngayong Linggo na sa GMA Network

 

Sa Pilipinas, kung saan mahigit siyamnapung porsyento ng populasyon ay Katoliko, at kung saan wala pang divorce, matatagpuan din ang isang mayaman at umuusbong na komunidad.  Ito ang komunidad ng online sexual content creators, o mga babae (at lalaki) na nagbebenta ng sariling ‘sensitive content’ para kumita.

 

 

Isa si Salome sa maituturing nang “superstar” sa larangang ito.  Bagamat maselan at mababa ang tingin sa kaniyang trabaho, taas noo niya itong itinataguyod kasabay ng paglaban niya para sa karapatan ng mga tulad niyang pinili ang sex work.

 

 

Ngunit hindi lahat, umunlad sa larangang ito.  May ilan, ginagawa ito dahil sa matinding pangangailangan.  Ilan sa mga hindi magagandang karanasan ang harassment, blackmail, ang maging pandaraya.  Bukod pa sa mga nagbebenta ng sariling sensitibong materyal online, mayroon din namang nagbibigay ng oras, panahon, at simpleng atensyon kapalit ng pera or mamahaling regalo.  Sila naman ang tinatawag na Sugar Babies.  Ang kanilang piniling landas, maaaring sabihing malayo na sa nakagisnan nating “dalagang Pilipina.

 

 

Kikilalanin ni Atom Araullo ang mga indibidwal na pumasok sa mapangahas na pamumuhay at aalamin kung ang Pilipinas nga ba ang isa sa top digital sex hot spots sa mundo.

Sexpectation vs. Reality

The Philippines is only one of 2 nations in the world where divorce is still not recognized.  It is also a country where 90% of its population are Catholic.  Despite these conservative facts, the Philippines is also home to a burgeoning explicit online content industry where both men and women sell nudes and other sexual content for a price.

Salome Salvi is considered one of the “superstars” in this industry.  Despite her profession being stigmatized, she proudly carries on while advocating rights for workers like her.  Others however are not as successful and sell their sensitive content out of sheer need.  Some of these explicit content creators suffer harassment, blackmail, and are even cheated financially.  

Meanwhile, there are women who invest in their looks and shower time and attention to men who are willing to pay for their company.  They are called Sugar Babies.  From explicit content creators to sugar babies, Atom Araullo will navigate this online industry and meet the people driving it.  He will also examine issues of women and women empowerment.  Is the Philippines one of the world’s hotspots for online sexual content?  Atom Araullo will find out this November.
