She is a doctor and a “virtual sex worker”: a double life that began while going to college

On his desk is some of his work material: a recipe book, a stamp with his name, surname and license plate, a stethoscope. In the library, there is something else: two manuals on Internal Medicine and a stack of personal cards in which she presents herself as a “doctor”. It looks like a doctor's office and a little bit it is, because none of those elements are cotillion: it's everything that the protagonist of this story used during her medical residency in a well-known clinic, the same elements that she now uses as a “virtual sex worker”.

Right next to the desk, in front of her notebook screen and the ring of light with which she lights up, is she, who has a name, a surname and a title of “general practitioner”, but who for this interview with Infobae prefers to be known with her “hooker identity”. She works from her apartment, in Saavedra, so she is barefoot, without studs and without hurry. It has a top and a denim shorts. Above it, a white overalls with a neat pink embroidery on the pocket that says “Dr. Mica”.

“How did she go from being a doctor to being a “virtual sex worker?” is, of course, the million-dollar question. But she is not the only one: how much did she earn as a resident physician and how much does she earn now? what did his parents say, to whom he dropped from a slump of the expectation of “m' son the dotor”?

The story of a 31-year-old girl who, several nights a week, turns on her camera, opens her office, invites her to accompany her on her supposed nights on duty and ends up masturbating with her users in exchange for pesos, dollars or cryptocurrencies.

Before I am who I am

“I was always very curious, ever since my adult sexuality began,” Mica starts. Sex took up so much space in his private life that he didn't stick with the basics: “I liked to explore different practices, branches, know, know. When I was younger I went to swinger places to see what they were like, and I always watched porn, not just for my own pleasure but out of curiosity, 'let's see, what is this world like? '”

That same curiosity also led her to search for documentaries, films, series. This is how he came across the story of a woman who had gone bankrupt and had become a webcamer and the idea of “sexually exposing herself and monetizing your eroticism from home, from a place like very independent” was stored somewhere in her brain, still in the area of sexual fantasies private.

Their intimacy seemed to have nothing to do with the “what do you want to be when you grow up?” , and so he began to study medicine in a private faculty in the City of Buenos Aires. “Medicine did not come by mandate into my life, my parents are not doctors, nor did they ever teach me that I had to be. It was a flash of mine, really,” she says, and shows her credential issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Nation.

It was eight years of study, between admission and the IAR (the so-called Annual Rotary Internship). “More than half of the race I was an ordinary girl. Always recognizing myself very sexual, but nothing, that was part of my private life. I was always very correct, let's say, I had a good performance in the race.”

During the first two years she studied while working in the marketing area of a company, then she left and her parents helped her so that she could dedicate herself only to studies. That idea of being a webcamer, however, kept bouncing around in his head. It was when he was in the fourth year of the race that he started 'to research'.

“I wanted to see what portals could do it from, what it was like, and I started testing. First I thought 'well, I'm going to play, if I make some money I save it for the holidays'”. At that time he lived with his mother, so to have virtual sex in exchange for money, he locked himself in his room at night and waited for him to sleep.

Being a medical student and selling sex online didn't seem like worlds capable of living together, so at first, he kept it quiet:

“I thought it was something that I was going to be able to keep at bay and that was only part of my privacy. I didn't think I was going to climb, I thought my path in life was going to be another one. I thought: 'When I finish the degree and the residency starts I quit. ' But hey, as time went by, I realized that I was taking more and more part of my life as a conscious decision: 'Well, I like this a lot and I'm doing very well. I don't want him out of my life. '”

Morning and afternoon he took care of the faculty, at night he undressed in front of the camera of the same computer he studied with.

“It was three, four years finishing the degree and boarding school and working full as a webcamer,” he tells Infobae. The fear of “being discovered” existed but the truth is that when someone in the faculty found her erotic content and her videos jumped from phone to phone, she wasn't too shocked.

When she received her medical degree, she decided to move alone and it was in this context that she had to talk to her parents, because until that moment only her closest friends and friends knew about her “double life”.

“Something I had to say, how was it that I wasn't working and suddenly had money to go live alone? I told them the truth: 'I'm working virtual sex now. I do webcam: I put myself in front of a camera and give an erotic show. I share a part of my life with a lot of people who follow me, that's what I do.”

He says his mom got scared at first, “because in sex work there are a lot of realities. The concern was that I would not expose myself to situations of danger.” Mica told him that virtuality gave him some protection “and he understood it. The truth is that I have really cool parents, that's a big relief. They are also young, I think that made it easier for them to understand and respect my desire and my own path.”

The question is whether he didn't hesitate, if he didn't think what would happen if those videos went viral, if word spread among colleagues, among patients, sanatorium owners, where would the social prestige of being a doctor go, applause at 9 pm, if there wasn't a moment when I thought “what am I doing with my life?”.

“Yes, I wondered what I was doing with my life but when I saw myself a resident, gaining two weights totally stressed and my body somatizing that stress like it had never happened to me in my life,” he replies.

The sum of the hours of formal work in the clinic plus the time she needed to make sexual video calls, sexting, living and porn videos left her exhausted, so she started hiring people, for example, a community manager who would manage social media.

Mica, who was training to be a doctor specializing in imaging — the one who sees “a reso or a tomo” and detects, for example, a tumor — left the residence in April last year, nine months after starting it.

The answer is not only vocation, but money: “My last salary as a resident physician, in April of last year, was 42,000 pesos. The work of virtual sex is scalable, it has no roof, but now I can earn between 250,000 and 500,000 pesos a month, that's not counting the dollar earnings.”

A night on call

Above the desk there is also a white board with several notes written in red fibron and yes, medical handwriting. While preparing for the photos, Mica translates.

The first item says “edit paw pies”, which means that you have to edit and publish (for those who pay a monthly subscription, for example, on Only Fans) a video in which you masturbated a man with his feet. Below it says “cam contest”, and it is a reminder of a contest he is organizing so that some of his followers - because more and more women are hiring his services - can go to his apartment to watch a live broadcast and be part of the “behind the camera”.

The third item says “group straw” and refers to the fact that she is thinking how to offer group video calls in which she does the show “with a more orgy spirit, something designed for more exhibitionists, like me, who enjoy being watched”. There are a couple more earrings, one of the last ones says “video squirt+pants”, that is, record a video in which you can get your pants wet during sexual stimulation.

In this same department, Mica gets up every day at 9 o'clock to have breakfast, train with her personal trainer and immediately become Dr. Mica. What follows is to make yourself “available” on some services that come out at the moment, for example, “consultations”, video calls or sexting.

He says that in these private spaces many are encouraged to “explore fetishes or fantasies that perhaps never talked to anyone. For example, something I do a lot is work anal exploration with men. That is a fantasy that is very hidden by the myth of 'looking gay', I love to see how that falls out and, suddenly, we all like everything.”

Skype video calls - in which he masturbates in this same violet armchair and takes the user or client to orgasm - last about 10 minutes and cost between 3,000 and 4,000 pesos. “The good thing about this business is that everyone values themselves, I say how much my job is worth, not a boss,” he warns. Sexting - a written erotic chat where both talk and send each other photos of the moment - lasts 20 minutes and costs about 2,500 pesos.

“In the meantime, I study. I am doing a postgraduate degree in clinical sexology, a training that can only be done if you are a doctor or psychologist, so part of my day goes to reading and academic training. While I study, I have the orders open there, and what comes up I am doing.”

At night she has fixed days in which she does live broadcasts, which are not a “one to one” but she in front of her audience (since everything is virtual she calls it “audience”, not “customers”; she says “users”, not “customers”). Those broadcasts or streams end in an erotic or porn show.

He also offers an “office night”, in which he appears on camera wearing this same dust cover and stethoscope, like a stole on his shoulders. During these “consultations” it is noticeable that many seek to take advantage of the conjunction between academics and field experience, say, as a “virtual hooker”, because for her there are not too many differences between the classic hooker - the one who has face-to-face sex and cash - and those who do it through some screen.

“No matter the means by which you do it, you're still capitalizing on your eroticism, your sexuality, you're working with your body. They are different ways of being a hooker, and being a hooker is part of my identity,” she says, who two years ago is in a couple (a young man she met through a dating app but who wasn't her “user”).

During these “consultations” they ask him about health or sexual health, for example, “tips to make a woman enjoy better”, “tips for better oral sex”, “how can I do to make the moment of maximum pleasure less ephemeral”. “I think,” she says, “that this is my differential, because I bring information learned from my own life, another academic one and my experience as a sex worker.”

There are also those who don't want to ask questions but like classic role-playing: the doctor, the patient and the invitation to accompany her on a supposed “night on call”. Some nights, Mica appears on camera with a colleague or colleague, whom she calls “patients”, with whom she shares the show. “You can win 100, 200... on a very good night of broadcasting you can win 500 dollars.”

Since sex is not face-to-face, there is no cash but payments through virtual wallets: Mercado Pago is the one that you use the most, also others that accept cryptocurrencies, such as Binance or Lemon Cash. Users from other countries pay through Pay Pal, some “crypto” or through the payment systems of each platform, such as that of Only Fans.

Mica says yes: she does consider herself a feminist. And while there are feminists who argue that prostitution can never be a job, she is on the side of those who believe it is.

In fact, he hires photographers, makeup artists, editors, a community manager, “different spheres of work that ultimately generate an industry, so how can it not be work? The taboo on women's sexuality makes it unrecognized and that makes us invisible. There is also a myth about 'easy silver', but the truth is that this is not just turning on a camera and showing your tits, you work a lot”.

It's already noon, a fuchsia vibrator next to the mouse is the signal that it's time to start moving. There are two final, simple questions. What he doesn't like about what he does, what he does. “What not,” Mica replies, is being so aware of networks, phone A, phone B: having so many profiles to exist is “really tiring”.

“What does - she closes - is that it allows me to be a totally independent woman. I live the life I want, I know that this can grow and that I can do more and more what I want, I didn't find that possibility in other jobs, not even in medicine. This is where I can be and the truth is that I find that very empowering.”
